INSURING GOOD DIGESTION. IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTING FOOD FERMENTATION IN STOMACH. Good digestion usually means good health. So long as the stomach does its work properly disease can find no lodgment in the 'human system; the liver, kidneys, aud intenstines will perform their work perfectly and remain in. perfect health; but interfere with the proper digestion of food and an unending train of troubles is set in motion. About the only thing that wil upset the stomach and interfere with tbe tiigestion is an excess of acid usually caused by food fermentation, iood fermentation is due to chemical action in the food itself. This fermentation causes tho formation of gas, or wind, as well as Jicid, resulting in tho unnatural distention of the stomach and the burning by tho acid of the delicalo lining of the stomach. . ■.!•„„ Medicines and tonics canuot relieve this condition— they usually make it worse Tho fermentation and acid are to blame, and theeo must bo overcome and prevented by taking nfser meals half a teaspoonfut of bisurated magnesia in a littlo hot or cold water.. Physicians recommend bisurated magnesia especially because it Btops or prevents fermentation of food and' neutralises tho acid instantly, making it bland and harmless, without irritating or upsetting the stomach in any wav. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist and try it the next time your tood ferments and upsets your stomach. Note now ouio.Ely tho acid is neutralised, ajid how soon you forget that you have sucn a thing as a 6tomach.—Advt.
