STOP STOMACH DRUGGING.
NEUTRALISE THE DANGEROUS ACID WITH A LITTLE . MAGNESIA. Stomach drugging is dangerous. Drugs deaden tho nerves and render them insensible to pain but pain serves a-good purpose—it is Nature's method of indicating that something is interfering with the smooth working of the human organism. When. the fault is corrected, the pain will cease. Pain after eating—heartburn, flatulence, etc., etc., usually indicates not that the stomach is diseased, but that it is troubled by exeessivo acidity. The acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach and so causes pain. Obviously it is of prime importance that the cause of this pain should be removed, and to accomplish this you should obtain some pure bisurated magnesia from your chemist and take half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately aftcj; meals. This will instantly neutralise the harmful acid in your stomach and prevent all possibility of acid fermentation. Drugs do not overcome this acid —they simply deaden the symptoms and givo a false sense of security. That is why those who rely on drugs gradnallv become worse and worse; until the stomach itself becomes actually diseased. 521?
