IF FOOD BIS AGREES DRINK HOT WATER.
I Tlhcn food lies like lead in the stomach and you have that uncomfortable distended feeling, it is because of insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food fermentation. In such cases try the plan now followed in many hospitals and advised by eminent specialists of taking half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach, and the bisurated magnesia, as any physician or chemist can tell you, instantly neutralises the acid and stops tho food fermentation. • Tr v this sinmlc plan, and you will bo astonished at tho immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. Soldiers at tho front and travellers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared should always take two or three fire-grain tablets of bisurated magnesia after meals to proTent fermentation and neutralise the acid. 4
