DESTROY STOMACH ACIDS BY TAKING MAGNESIA. If you suffer from indigestion or dyspepsia, you doubtless have a grievance against your stomach—it 'hurts you. Possibly you know that you can alleviate this pain and pacify your stomach by taking some pepsin or powerful pain killing drug aftey meals, hut is it wise to make such a patchrd-up peace with your stomach? Remember that in nine cases out of ten it is excessive acidity that causes stomach pain, and that drugs and medicines should only be used when the stomach is actually diseased, iwhich rarely is the case, and then only on your physician's advice. Drug may numb the pain, hut the sense of security and well being they give you is usually falsjf, because they do not destroy the acid which almost invariably is the cause of the trouble. There is really only one preparation which can be relied upon to do this, and that is bisurated magnesia, which most chemists stock in po\vdei and tablet form. Half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia powder or two compressed tablets taken with a little after meals will neutralise the acid instantly, and also prevent all possility of the food fermenting in the stomach. It is because of this wellknown fact that bisurated magnesia is now so extensively used in hospitals. Nicotine is very poisonous. Even : n small quantities pure nicotine causes umiting, purging and collapse, and when you consider that many imported tobaccos contain from 4 per cent, to J) per cent, of nicotine, it shows how careful you must be in your choice.
