ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS. NINE-TENTHS OP Ml, STOMACH TKOUBLK SAID TO BE DUE TO ACIDITY. •A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE ON CAUSE AND CURE. A famous "Vliysiciau whoso 6iic«ossfnl researcues into the caiiso and euro of eloinach, and intestinal diseases have earned for him an international reputation, said in the course* of si recent lecture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of tlie vital organs, were directly traceable to a. deranged condition of tho stomach, which, in turn was duo nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, which not only irritated and inflamed the delicate lininE of, Hie slomiioh, but also set up gastritis and- stomach inkers. Tt is interesting to note that ho and his colleagues havo secured remarkable results by tho use of. ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by nentralisin" the acidity of the food, removes the source of tho trouble. Ho contends that it is as foolish to treat tho stomach itself ns it would bo for a man who stepped on a tack t» rub liniment on the foot without first removinK ilio hick. Tlemove tho tack and the foot w,,l he. itself-neutralieo the acid and stoinn.'h troubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless, so long u tho content* of «« domaoh remain acid; remove the acidity, and there will be no need for medmne-the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity should get a small bottle of hUnrated magnesia from their cliemist nnrt take half a teaR poonfu,l in a duartor nf a glass of- hot or cold water after meals, repeating _ in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this bang the doso which the doctor has found most eflicacioua in. nil cases.—Adrt.
