STOP STOMACH DRUGGING.
NEUTRALISE THE DANGEROUS ACID WITH A LITTLE MAGNESIA. Stomach drugging is dangerous. Drugs deaden tho nerves and render them insensible to pain, but pain serves a good purpose —it is Nature's method of indicating that something is interfering with the smooth working of the human organism. When the fault is corrected, the pain will cease. Pain after eating—heartburn, flatulence, etc., etc., usually indicates not that the stomach is diseased, but that it is troubled by excessive acidity. The acid irritates and inflames tho delicate lining of tho stomach and so causes pain. Obviously it is of prime importance that tho cause of this pain should bo removed, and to accomplish this you should obtain some pure bisurated magnesia from your chemist and take half-a-teaspoonful in a little water immediately after meals. This will instantly neutralise tho harmful acid in your stomach and prevent all possibility of food fermentation. Drugs do not ovei-come this acid— they simply deaden tho symptoms and givo a false sense of security. That is why tnoso who rely on drugs gradually become worse and worse, until the stomach itself becomes actually diseased.—A dvt.
