STOMACH TROUBLES DUE T O ACIDITY.

SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST. So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain food, instead of indicating that the stomach is out of order, are in nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the food cotents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach, and causes that full,;oppresive feeling some known as heartburn, while the acid irritate© and inflames the delicate lining of the stom-: ach. 'The stomach, however,'is noi at fault. The trouble lies entirely in the fermenting.'food. Such fermentation ig unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may involve the most serious consequences if not prevented. To prevent or stop fermentation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralise the acid, and render it bland and harmless, half a teaspoonfiil of Bisurated Magnesia, probably the best and most effective anti-acid known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation, and neutralises the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper anti-acid, such' as Bisurated Magnesia, which can be obtained from any chemist, and thus enable the stomach ta do its work properly without being hindered by poisonous gas and dangerous acids.— M.F.P.
