DYSPEPTICS SHOULD AVOID DRUGS AND MEDICINES.

Try a Little Magnesia Instead. Some people instinctively shut their eyes to danger, and it may be that instinct, or custom, or habit causes dyspeptics to take drugs, patent foods and medicines, artificial digestants, etc. But dosing the eyes does not banish the danger, and it is certain that neither drugs nor medicines possess the power to destroy the acid in the stomach, which is the underlying cause of moat forms of indigestion and dyspepsia. They may give temporary relief, but ever-increasing quantities must be taken, and all the time the acid remains as dangerous ever. Physicians know this, and that is why the usual advice now- given to sufferers from digestive and stomach trouble is, “ Just get some bisurated magnesia from your chemist and take half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately after every meal. This will instantly neutralise the acid and stop food fermentation, thus enabling you to enjoy hearty meals without experiencing the least pain or unpleasantness afterwards.”
