STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY.

SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.

So-called stomach troblcs, such as indigestion, wind, stomache-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 contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach, and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inliames tho delicate lining of the stomach. The stomach,-however, is not at fault. The trouble lies ehtirely in the fermenting food. Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not onlj- unnatural but may involve the most serious consequences if not prevented. To prevent or stop fermentation of the food contents of the stomach anil to neutralise the acid and render it bland and harmless, half a tenspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective antacid known, ishould be taken in a quarter of a glace of hot or cold water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or ,aridity ie felt. This slops the fermentation, and neutralises the acidit}' in a few moments. Fermentation. wind and acidity are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent them hy the use of a proper antacid, such a« bisiivated magnesia, which can be obtained from any chemist, and thus enable the stomach to do its work properly without being hindered hv poisonous gas and dangerous acids.—M.F.P.—(Ad.)
