Some years ago a well-known philanthropist. presented the town of Carterton with nil Old Men's Home, fully equipped and free of all cost. Admission was saddled with two conditions: the applicant must, not be a bankrupt, and he was required to prove that his condition of indigence in his old age was not due to his drinking habits during his palmier years. The latter condition proved an Insuperable barrier, and left this fine institution practically empty. The lesßon is obvious. He who runs may read; or is it he who drinks may run?? DRINKING WITH MEALS CAUSES INDIGESTION,' "You should never drink with meals if you are troubled with indigestion," I was told at a time when I could hardly eat a meal without suffering afterwards. I followed the advice rigidly, and, although I was somewhat relieved, still suffered a good deal. I tried several medicines, luit without any beneficial effect, until a medical friend recommended taking about half a teaspoonful of ordinary bisurated magnesia in half a cupful of warm water after each meal and at bedtime. The result was quite satisfactory. The bisurated magnesia entirely counteracted the acidity of the stomach, which causes dyspepsia; relief came almost immediately, and I am now able to eat, drink and enjoy my meals without bad effect. Drinking with my mealß does not worry me now. In case any readers would like to try this excellent remedy, which I understand relieves other kinds of indigestion just as effectually as it did mine, I may add that it is obtainable from any chemist, but I strongly advise anyone trying it to make perfectly sure they get the bisurated magnesia, other forms not being so suitable for thia purpose.— :E.T<Q, '
