IF FOOD DISAGREES DRINK HOT WATER. When food lies like lead in the stomach, and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is because of insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food ferm'entatton. In such cases tvv Uie plan now followed in inanv hospitals, and advtecd by emmcnt specialists, of taking half a teaspoonfiil of bisnrated magnesia in half a "lass of water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach, and the bisnrated magnesia, as anv chemist or physician will tell Ton. instantly neutralises the acid ami 'stops the food fermentation. Iry this simple plan, and you will be astonished at the immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process ot digestion. ! But be sure you ask the chemist verv distinctly for bisnrated magnesia, thus avoiding confusion with the sulphates, oxides and citrates, or bismuth and magnesia mixtures, which arc often unsuitable. Soldiers at the front and travellers who are frequently obl.ged to dike he.stv meals, poorly prepared, should ■ilwavs take two or three five-gram tablets of bisnrated magnesia after meals, to prevent fermentation and neutralise the acid.
