ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS.

NINE-TENTHS OF ALL STOMACH TROUBLE SAID TO BE DUE TO ACIDITY.

A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE ON CAUSE AND CUBE.

A famous physician whose successful researches into the cause and cure of stomach and intestinal diseases ' have earned for him an international reputation, said in the course of a recent lecture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of tho vital organs, were directly traceable to a deranged condition of the stomach, which in turn was due nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, which not only irritated and inflamed the delicate lining of the stomach, but also' set up gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is interesting to note that he and his colleagues have secured remarkable results by the use of ordinary bisurated magnesia, which, by neutralising tho acidity of the food, removes the source of the trouble. He contends that it is as foolish to treat the stomach itself as it would be for a man who stepped on a tack to mb liniment on the foot without first removing the tack. Remove the tack and the foot will heal itself —neutralise the acid and stomach troubles will disappear. Irritating medicines and medical treatments are useless, so long as the contents of the stomach remain acid; remove the acidity, and there will be no need for medicine—the inflamed lining of the stomach will then heal itself. Sufferers from acidity should get a small bottle of bisurated magnesia from their chemist, and take half a teaspoonful in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after meals, repeating in fifteen minutes, if necessary, this being the dose _ which the doctor has found most efficacious in all cases. *

When buying NAZOL—the moneysaving remedy- for coughs and colds—look for the name NAZOL on the red carton. No cold is NAZOL-proof.
