its action explained. "Of inestimable value in all forms of stomach trouble," recently remarked an eminent specialist when asked his opinion upon the ever-increasing use of magnesia in cases of Indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, flatulence, wind, etc., but, of course. It must be pnre Disunited magnesia; this is the form invariably prescribed by physicians , tvho recognise that in many cases serious harm might result from the use of other • forms, such as the acetates, citrates or sulphates of magnesia. Most chemists now stock pure bisurated magnesia in powder and tablet form, and I would advise sui- ; ferers from any form of stomach trouble to ■ take half-a-teaspoonfnl of the powder or two compressed tablets in a little water l Immediately after each meal. This will ; Instantly neutralise the excessive acid in ; the stomach and prevent fermentation of the , food, thus ensuring normal digestion and freedom from discomfort and pain.—(Ad.)
