INSURING GOOD DIGESTION.

IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTING FOOD FERMENTATION IN STOMACH.

Good digestion usually means good health. So long as the stomach does its work properly disease can find no lodgment in the human system; tlhe liver, kidneys and intestines will perform their work perfectly and remain in-perfect health; but interfere with the proper digestion of food and an unending train of troubles is set m motion." About the. only thing thiat will upset the stomach and interfere with the digestion is an excess of I acid, usually caused by food fermentation. Food fermentation is due to chemical action in the foot! itself. This fermentation causes the formation of gas, or wind, as well as acid, resulting in the unnatural distention of the stomach and the burning by the acid of the delicate lining | of tJie stomach. . Medicines and tonics cannot relieve this condition- -they usually make it worse. The fermentation and acid are to blame, and these must be overcome and prevented by taking after meals half a teaspoonful or bisurated magnesia in a little not or cold water. Physicians recommend bisurated magnesia especially because it stops or prevent fermentation ot. food and neutralises the acid instantly, making it bland and harmless, without irritating or upsetting the stomach in any way. vet a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist and try it the next time .your food ferments and upsets your stomach. Note how quickly the acid is neutralised, and how soon. ;you forget that you have such a iSimg as » stomach. .
