HOW DRUGS DELUDE DYSPEPTIGS. ««■ A MENACE TO HEALTH. Dyspeptics who tako drugs commit a crime against their health, for drugs do not euro dyspopsia, neither do they possess the power to neutralise acid in the stomach, which is tho underlying cause or' most forms of digostivo and stomach trouble. Drugs may appear to give relief in some cases of indigestion and dyspepsia, but that is because they numb the nerves of the stomach and render thorn insensible to pain. Herein lies tho chief danger the symptoms of tho trouble are covered up aiid hidden, while tho cause, of tho trouble—that is, the acid in tho stomach—remains as active and as dangerous as over, and may in course of time cause gastric ulcers to form. Physicians have demonstrated over and over again that the .stomach cannot regain.strength or the digest}vo organs recover their power to function normally unless kept free from irritant acid, and this can bo achieved with safety and certainty by taking half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a (little water immediately af'tor every meal. It. can. bo relied upon to- neutralise acid and- prevent fermentation of the food. This "method is now being employed by hospitals throughout the country with marked .success, and wo aro sure tho recipe will prove valuablo to many of our readers. No difficulty should bo experienced in obtaining tho bisurated } magnesio, for it is stocked by high! class chemiHts everywhere, but make sure that you get the bisurated form of magnesia, for the oxides, sulphates, and citrates are quite unsuitable.
