WHAT DYSPEPTICS

SHOULD KNOW.

PHYSICIAN'S TIMELY ADVICE

The fact that few dyspeptics really understand the cause of their trouble is prohablv the reason why dnigs are still used to such an alarm'.iig extent. The practice is wrong, however, and is strongly condemne 1 by many physicians. The presence of excess a°"'d in the stomach is the cause of pracii adv .ill forms of digestive trouble-, and this can be neutralised and rendered .harmless by the occasional use of ordinary bisurated magnesia—a product which can be obtained of anv chemist . Physicians use bisurated magnesia themselves as well as recommend it to their patients, because they recognise that it not only overcomes dangerous stomach acid and thus ensures easy digestion, out by its use no harmful drug is introduced into the system and therefore there can be no unpleasant after-effects. Halt a teaspoonful taken in a littlewater after meals is usually quite sufficient to "keep the food contonis of the stomach free from fermentation and acid, thus ensuring normal digestion.
