HOW DRUGS DELUDE DYSPEPTICS. A MENACE TO HEALTH. Dyspeptics who take, drugs commit a crime against their health, for drugs do not cure dyspepsia, neither do'they possess the power to neutralise acid in the stomach, which is the underlying cause of most forms of digestive and stomach I trouble. Drugs may appear to give relief in some cases of indigestion and dyspepsia, but that is because they numb the nerves of the stomach and render them, insensible to pain. Herein lies the chief danger; the symptoms of the trouble are covered up and hidden, while the cause of the trouble—that is. the acid in the stomach—remains as active and as dangerous as ever, and may in course of | time cause gastric ulcers to form. j Physicians have demonstrated over and over again that the stomach cannot i regain strength or the digestive organs J recover their power to function normally j unless kept free from irritant acid, and | j this can bo achieved witl. safety and ' certainty by taking half a, teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little water immediately after every meal. It can be relied upon lo neutralise acid and prevent fermentation of the food. This method is now being employed by hospitals throughout the country with marked success, and we urc sure the recipe will iprove valuable to many of our Headers. No difficulty should bo experienced in obtaining the pure bianrated magnesia., for it is stocked by highclass chemists everywhere, but make sure thai you .get the bisuratod form of magnesia, for the oxides, sulphates, and citrates art- quite unsuitable.—Advt.
