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, and intestines will perform their work perfectly and remain in perfect health ; but interfere with the pTojper digestion of food a«d an unending train of trnobles is set in motion. About the only thing that will upset the stomach and interfere with the digestion is an excess of acid, usually caused by food fermentation. Food fermentation is due to chemical action in the food itself. This fermentation causes the formation of gas, or wind, as well as acid, resulting in the unnatural distention of the stomach and the burning by the acid of the delicate lining % of the stomach. Medicines and tonics cannot relieve this condition— they usually make it wor»e. The fermentation and acid art to blame, and these must b» overcome and pre» vented by taking after meals half a tea* spooonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. Physicians recommended bisurated magnesia especially because it stops or prevents fermenta* tion of food and neutralises the acid Instantly, making it k bland and harmless, without irritating 'or upsetting the stomach in any way. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist and try it the next time your food feri ments and upsets your stomach. Note how quickly the add is neutralised, and how soon you forget that yoij have such .& thing as a stomacJi.— AdiW '~
