ACID STOMACHS ARE DAHGEROUS.

KIKE-TENTHS OF ALL STOMACH TROUBLE SAID TO BE DUE TO ACIDITY. A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE ON CAUSE AND CURE. A famous jVhysican whose successful researches into the cause and core ol stomach and intestinal diseases have earned for him an international reputation, Bald in the course of a recent lecture that ncarl.r all Intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organ?;, were directly traceable to a deranged condition of the stomach, which in tnrn was due nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, which not only irritated and Inflamed the delicate lining of the stomach, but also set tip gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is interesting to note that he and ■ hit colleagues have secured remarkable re suits by the n%e of ordinary '%lsnrated' magnesia, which, by neutralising th« acidity of the food, removes the source ol the trouble. He contewte that it is as foolish to treat the stomach itself as i 1 would- be for a man wlw stepped on t tack to Tub liniment on the foot withom first removing the tack. Remove the tacl and the foot will heal itself—neutralist The acid and stomach troubles will dt» appear. Irritating medicine* and medic* treatments are -cselees. so long as thi contents of the stomach remain acid remove, the acidity, and there will be b< need for medicine—the inflamed lining o: the stomach will then heal itself Sufferers from acidity should get a emal ihottle of "bisnrated" magnesia from thei: chemist, and take half-a-teaspoonfnl in a quarter of a glass of ift or cold wate alter -meale. repeating in fifteen stiavte* if necessary, this being the dose whk3 the doctor has found most efficacious ll all cases.—{Ad.)
