PRACTICAL PRESCTtIKTION AGAINST STOMACH ACIDITY.

BY A SPECIALIST. /'Nine-tenths .of all .cases of stomach trouble nowadays/” says a leading, specialist, i f ‘are caused by too much aoirt. In . the beginning the stomach itself, is not diseased, but if- this acid, condition is allowed to continue, the acid ■» very likely to eat into the stomach walls and produce ia stomach ulcer or cancer, either of which may render a radical surgical operation necessary, even to prolong iiio. Therefore an 'acid: stomach is really a. dangerous condition and should be treated seriously., It is utterly useless to take pepsin and ordinary stomach tablets. The excess acid must, be neutralised by the administration of an efficient antacid. For. this purpose physicians nearly always recommend taking half a teaspoonfuf of bisnrated magnesia in a little water after each meal. Larger quantities may be used if necessary, as it is absolutely harmless. But be sure to get the bisurated magnesia, as other forms of magnesia have not the same action in the stomach as the bisnrated, and frequently do more harm than good.
