Medicines and medicinal treatments a.rc neeless in each cases, fof thoy leave the source of the trouble, tho acid in the stomach, as dangerous as over. The acid must bo neutralised, and -is formation prevented, and tho best thing for this purpose is 'half a teospoonful of bfcuratcd magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralises the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause greatest distress can be eaten with' impunity if the mnal is followed with a little bisurated magnesia, which can be' obtained of any chemist, and should always ho keot. handy.
