SPECIALIST EXPLAINS CAUSE OF STOMACH TROUBLE. VALUABLE ADVICE TO SUFFERERS. "There are many different forms ot stomah trouble," said a well-Known spec'alist recently, "but practically all are t'.aceabie to excessive acidit; and food fermentation. That is why fie results obtained from the use of drugs are usually so disappointing. Adm.tting fermentation and consequent acidity of the food contents to be the'imdeily-ng cause of most forms of indigest'on, it naturally follows that the use of a reliable antacid, such hisurated magnesia whih is so frequently prescribed by phys : cians. wll prodrre l, p tt.pv lesn't- IliJi fh-ps rr combinat on of drnrrs. Accordingly I almost invariably advice those who complain of digestive trouble to pet some h ; mratrd magnesia (note the n-me ca-efnMy, as oth<r forms are not so futab'e for tMs purrose) from thr'r chem : st, and take half a teaspoonful of the powder, or two 5-grain compressed tablets, with a Jit-tie water after meak. This, bv immediately neutral-'s'ncc the f-topnins ti">e fermf>ntat : on, removes tho cause of the tronble and insures normal and heilthv d'gestion."
