WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT. A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE.

" Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ,ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, | avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the etomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which v are lich in blood, flesh, and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and etomach Bufferers aro usually so thin, emaciated, and ladking in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fed bedy. For the benefit of those sufferere who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet,, or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on glnten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid which may foe present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fulness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is. doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It ie not a medicine, and has no direct action on the stomach ; but by neutralising the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing tire source of the acid irritaiion which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine. As a physician I believe in the use of medicine whenever necessary, but I must admit that I carinot ccc the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs instead, of getting rid of the acid — tho cause of all the trouble. Get a little biburated magnesia from your chemist, eat what' you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed aibovo, and see if I'm not right."— Advt.
