STOP STOMACH DRUGGING.

NEUTRALISE THE- DANGEROUS ACID WITH A LITTLE MAGNESIA. Stomach drugging is dangerous. Drugs often deaden flic nerves and render them insensible to pain, but pain serves a good purpose—it is Nature's method of indicating that something is interfering with the smooth working of the human organism- When the fault is corrected, the pain will cease. Pain after eating —heartburn, flatulence, etc., etc., — usually indicates not that the stomach is diseased, but that it is troubled by excessive acidity. The acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, and so causes pain. Obviously it is of prime importance that the cause of this pain should be removed, and to accomplish this you should obtain sonic bisurated magnesia from your chemist, and take half a teaspoonful iu a little water immediately after meals. This is the remedy which produced such excellent results in the ease of Miss Alice M. Allen, 09 Fletcher Street. Auburn, Victoria, who savs:— "I suffered so severely from indigestion that I often had to lie down, quite exhausted by the pain. I became thin and felt worn out. Nothing seemed to do me the least good until I tried bisurated magnesia, but the first dose of this made me feci better, and I have had tio return of mv complaint." Equally good results are invariably accomplished by bisurated magnesia, because it neutralises the harmful acid which is the underlying cause of all the trouble, and, having done this, it soothes, lipak, and strengthens the stomach and ensures proper digestion of tlie food.
