ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS. COMMON-SENSE ADVICE BY A DISTINGUISHED SPECIALIST. "Acid" stomachs arc dangerous because acid irritates and inflames the delicato lining of tlio stomach, thus hindering iind preventing the proper notion of the stomach, and leading to nine-tenths _ of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Medicines and medicinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, asdangorous as evor. Tlio ncid must be neutralised, and its formation prevented, and tho best thing for this purpose is half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cokl water after eating, which not only neutralises the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed. Koods which ordinarily cause greatest distress can be eaten with impunity if tho meal is followed with a little bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained of any chemist, and should always bo kept handy.—Adyt.
