HOW TO NEUTRALISE DANGEROUS STOMACH ACIDS. Few people besides physicians realise the importance of keeping the food contents of the stomach free from acid fermentation. Healthy normal digestion cannot take place while the delicate lining of the stomach is being inflamed and distended by acid and wind—the results of fermenting food in the stomach. To secure digestion, fermentation must be stopped or prevented and the acid neutralised. For this purl pose, physicians usually recommend getting a_ little bisurated magnesia from the chemist and taking haT7 a teaspooniul in a little hot or cold water immediately after eating. They recommend bisurated magnesia because it is pleasant to take, has no disagreeable aftereffects, and quickly stops fermentation, neutralises the acid and makes the sour acid^food bland, sweet and easily digested. The regular use of bisurated magnesia T£ c f 1- 1"^ Tfm Set tne bisurated, as other kinds of magnesia are not so valuable—is a guarantee of healthy, normal digestion, for it overcomes and prevents that acid condition which alone is the cause of trouble.—Advt.
