WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD KNOW.
PHYSICIAN'S TIMELY ADVICE. The fact that few dyspeptics really understand the causo of their trouble is probably, the reason why drugs, are still ■used to such an alarming extent. ■ The practice is •wrong, however, and is strongly condemned by many physicians. The presence of acid in the stomach is the cause of practically all forms of digestive trouble, and this can bo neutralised and rendered harmless by the occasional use of ordinary bisurated magnesia—a product which can be obtained of any chemist. Physicians use bisurated magnesia themselves as well as recommend it to their. patients, because they recognise that it not only overcomes dangerous stomach acid and thus ensures easy digestion, but by its use no harmful' drug is .introduced into the system and therefore there can be no unpleasant after-effects. Half a. teaspoonful taken in a littlo water after meals is usually quite sufficient to keep tho food contents of the stomach free' 1 from, fermentation and acid, thus ensuring normal digestion.
