WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT.

A PHYSICIANS ADVICE. " TxniOEflTiON and practically all forms of .stomach trouble are, nine, times out of ten, dv.c to acidity ; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most food which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh, and nerve-building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated, and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards half a teaspoonful of Insulated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid which may lie present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fulness, you will find, that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisuratcd magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antacid known. It is not a medicine, and has no direct action on the stomach; but by neutralising the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine. As a physician I believe in the. use of medicine whenever necessary, but I must admit that 1 cannot see the sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid—the causo of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia, from your chemist, eat, what you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed above, and see if I'm not right."Advt.
