DESTROY STOMACH ACIDS BY TAKING MAGNESIA.

If yom suffer from indigestion or dyspepsia, you doubtless havd a grievance against your stomach —it hurts you. Possibly you know that you can alleviate this pain and pacify your stomach by taking some pepsin or powerful painkilling drug after meals, but is it wise to make such a petched-up peace with your stomach? Remember that \n nine cases out of ten it is excessive acidity that causes stomach pain, and that drugs and medcinjs should only be used when, the stomach ie actually,diseased, -which rarely is the cap, and then only on your physician's advice. Drugs may numb the pain, but the sense of security and well being they give you- is usually false, because they do not destroy the acid which almost invariably is the cause of the trouble. • There 'is really only one preparation which can bo relied upon to do this, and that is bisurated magnesia, which most chomi?ts stock in powder and tablet form. Half a teaspoonM o f bisivrated magnesia powder or two compressed tablets taken with a little water after meals will neutralise the acid_ instantly, and also prevent all possibility of the food fermenting in the stomach. It is because of this well-known fact that bisurated magnesia is now eo extensively used in hospitals.—Advt.
