STOMACH MEDICINES ARE DANGEROUS. DOCTOBS NOW ADVISE MAGNESIA. Just how dangerous it is to indiscriminately dose tho stomach with drugs and medicines is often not realised until too late. It seems so simple to swallow a dose of some special mixture or to take tablets of some so-called remedy or other after meals, and the folly of this drugging is not apparent until perhaps years afterwards, liegr'ets are then unavailing; it is in the early stages, when indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, flatulence, etc., indicates excessive acidity of the stomach and fermentation of the food contents, that precaution should be taken. Drugs and medicines are unsuitable and often dangerous—they have as a rule little or no influence upon the harmful acid, and that is why doctors are discarding them and advising sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble to get rid of the dangerous acid and keep the food contents bland and sweet by taking a ■ little bisurnted magnesia instead. Bisurated magnesin is an approved antacid, which can readily bo obtained from the chemist. It is practically tasteless, and half a teaspoonful taken in a little warm or cold water after meals will usually be found quite sullicieut to instantly neutralise .excessive aciditv nf the stomach and prevent all possibility of the food fermenting.-Advt.
