Physicians say that to qniclcly dispel a dangerous accumulation of wind in tho stomach and to stop the food fermentation which creates tho gas, tho acid in the stomach must ho neutralised, mid (hat for this purpose there is nothing quite so good as half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, taken in a littlo water immediately aftor meals.
