ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS NINE-TENTHS OF ALL STOMACH TROUBLE SAID TO BE DUE TO ACIDITY. 4. PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE ON CAUSE AND CURE. A x famous physician whose successful researches into the cause and cure of stomach and intestinal diseases have earned for him an international reputation, said in the course of a recent lecture 'that' nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, were directly traceable to a deranged condition of the stomach, which in turn was due nine, times out o^ ten to excessive } acidity, which not only irritated and inflamed the delicate lining of the stomach, but also set up gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is interesting to note that he and his colleagues have secured remarkable results by the use of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by neutralising the acidity of the food, removes the source.of'the trouble. He contends that it is as foolish to fcreat the stomach' itself as it would be\for a man who stepped on a tack to rub liniment on the foot without first removing the tack. Remove the tack and .the foot, will heal itself —neutralise the acid and stomach troubles wiill disappear: Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless, so long as the contents of the- stomach remain acid; remove the acidity, and there will be no need for medicine—the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal' itself. Sufferers from acidity should get a small bottle of biswrated magnesia from their chemist, and take half a t.easpoonfivl in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after meals, repeating in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose which the docI tor has found most efficacious in all cases. —-Advt.
