PRACTICAL PRESCRIPTION AGAINST STOMACH ACIDITY.

BY A SPECIALIST.

" Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach trouble nowadays,*' 6ays a loading specialist, "are caused bv too much acid. In tho beginning tho stomach itself is _ not diseased, but if this acid condition is al-1 lowed to continue, the acid is very likely j to eat into tho stomach walls and produce j stomach ulcer or cancer, either of winch may render a radical surgical operation nec'oseary, even to prolong life. Therefore, an 'acid etomach' is really a dangerous condition, and should bo treated seriously, It is utterly useless to take, pepsin and ordinary stomach tablets. The excess acid must bo neutralised by tho administration of an efficient antacid. For this purpose physicians nearly always recommend taking half a tcaspoc/nful of Disunited magnesia in a littlo water after each meal. Larger quantities may bo used if necessary, as it is absolutely harmless. But, bo sure to get tho bisurated magnesia, as other forms of magnesia havo not tho same action in tho stomach ns tho bisurated, and frequently do moro harm than good;"—
