"The taking of common, supposedly 'harmless,' dyspepsia tablets has become an alarmingly bad habit on the part of millions," said a prominent physician. "One old and dangerous theory is that indgeston calls for pepsin or other artificial digestive. The fact is that every dose helps to weaken the stomach and contributes to chronic dyspepsia, if not to ulcers or cancer. Another old theory is that indigestion is caused by certain foods,' and can be overcome by abstaining from theso foods. The fact is that such ahstainance deprives the system of the very kinds of nutriment essential to normal health. In about 99 out of 100 cases of indigestion the cause is acidity—too much acid—and the only logical, harmless remedy is something to neutralise the acid. There is nothing so good for the purpose as just ordinary bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any chemist. From one-half to one teaspoonful in a quarter -glass of water, after eating, will neutralise the acidity.immediately, promote perfect digestion, and help make one immune from ulcers, cancer, or other dangerous- stomach disorders."
