IF STOMACH HURTS, DRINK HOT WATER.
A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE. "If dyspeptics, sufferers from flatulence, i indigestinn, acidity, gastric catarrh, etc., |. woud ouly take a quarter teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of hot water immediately after eating, they would '■ soon forget that they were ever afflicted i with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients." lv explanation of these words the specialist : stated that most forms of stomach trouble were due to acidity and fermentation of the foc«l contents, combined, with insnfflcient i blood snpply to the stomach. Hot water Increases the blood snpply and bisurated ] magnesia instantly neutralises the acid and ] stops food fermentation; the combination < of the two, therefore, being extremely ' efficient and infinitely preferable to the use i of artificial digestives, stimulants and "l medicines. It should be mentioned though ' that the form of magnesia referred to is quite distinct from the sulphates, citrates, oxides, or the often met mixtures of 5 muth and magnesia, and to prevent confu- 1 slon you should ask the chemist very dls- i tinctly for bisurated magnesia.—(Ad.) * _ j
