IF STOMACH HURTS DRINK HOT WATER. A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE. "If dyspeptics, sufferers from flatulence, indigestion, acidity, gastric catarrh, etc., would only take a quarter o( of teaspoonful of bis'urated magnesia in a glass of hot water immediately after eating, they would soon forget that they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients." In explanation of these words the specialist stated that most forms of stomach trouble were due to acidity and fermentation of the food contents combined witli insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases tho blood supply and bisurated magnesia neutralises the acid and stops food fermentation; the combination of tho two, therefore, being very efficient and infinitely preferable to the use of artificial digestives, stimulants and medicines.
