STOMACH DRUGGING IS DANGEROUS. ' DOCTORS NOW ADVISE MAGNESIA. Just how dangerous it is to indiscriminately dose the stomach with drugs and medicines is often not realised until •too late. It seems so simple to swallow a dose of some special mixture or .to take tablets of pepsin, etc., after meals, and the folly of this drugging is not apparent until, perhaps, years afterwards. Regrets are then unavailing; it is in the early stages, when indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn., flatulence, etc., indicate excessive acidity 'of the stomach and fermentation of the food contents, that precaution should be taken. Drugs are unsuitable and oite-n dangerous—they have little or no influence upon the harmful acid, and that ia why_ doctors aro discarding them and advising sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble to get rid of the-dangerous acid and keep the food contents bland and sweet by taking a little bisurated magnesia instead. Bisurated magnesia is an antacid, which can readily be obtained from the chemist. It is practically tasteless, and half-a-teaspoonful taken in a little warm or cold water after meals will usually be found quite sufficient to instantly neutralise excessive acidity of the stomach a,nd prevent possibility of the food fermenting.—Advt.
