A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE. "Indigestion ami practically all forms of stomach troubles are, nine times out of ten due to acidity; there-, fore stomach sufferers' dioulfl, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid, in its nature, or which by chemical action,, in the stomach develops' acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste'as well-as those which are rich in blood, flesh' and nerve, building properties. This is the reason why dyspentics and'stomach sufferers are usually thin, emaci-. ated and 'lacking in that vital energy w;hieh can only came from a well-fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been, obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like a moderate amount taking immediately afterwards half a. teaispoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid which mav be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feelinp- of uneasiness, and fullness, you will find that vour food agrees with you perfectly. Bisui-ated: magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known.. Tt a medicine, .and has no direct action on tbo stomach; but by neutralising the acidity of the food contents, and, thus removing the 1 ' source of the acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lininp-, it does more than could "ossihly be done bv any drug or medicine. As n nhysieian I believe in the use of medicine whenever neoessai'v, but T must admit that I cannot sec the sen.se of dosing an inflsinWl and irritated stomach! with d'rujrs instead of getting rid of the acid'—+h".cp"s« of all the trouble. Get a. little bisurated magnesia from your chemist. Kat what you want at your next meal, take fim" rf the hisu rated' magnesia, as directed above, and see if I'm not Tight."
