SPECIALIST EXPLAINS CAUSE OF STOMACH TROUBLE.

I VALUABLE ADVICE TO SUFFERERS. "There arc many different forms of ; stomach trouble," said a well known specialist recently, "but practically aH are traceable to excessive acidity and food foments-! I tion. That Is why the results obtained from the use of drugs are usually so disappointing. Admitting fermentation. and consequent acidity of tbe food contents to be the underlying cause of most forms of indigestion, it naturally follows that the use of a reliable antacid such as the pure bisuratefl- magnesia.which is so frequently prescribed by physicians, will produce better results than any known drug or combination of drugs. Accordingly I almost invariably advise those who complain of digestive trouble to get some bisuraied magnesia (note the name carefully, as other forms are unsuitable for this purpose), from their chemist, and take half a teaspoonful of the -powder, or two 6-gratn compressed tablets, with a little «ater after meals. This, by. Immediately neutralising the acid and stopI plhg the fermentation, removes the cause of' all tbe tfwnble and insures normal and j 'health*-«gaa*t-*a. M —C*A»
