INSURING GOOD DIGESTION IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTING POOD FERMENTATION IN STOMACH. Good digestion usually means good health. So lo!i<r as the stomach does its work properly disease can find no lodgment in tho human system: ihc liver, kidneys, and intestines \yill_ perform their work perfectly and remain in perfect health, but interfere with the proper digestion of food and an unending train of troubles is set in motion. About jho only thing that will upsot the stomach and interfere with the, digestion is an excess'of acid, usually can?od by food fermentation. Food fermentation is duo to chemical action in tho food itself. Tin's fermentation causes the formation of gas or wind, as well as acid, resulting in tho unnahu'al c'.istention of the stomach and tho. burning by tho acid of thi>, dclicato lining of the stomach. Medicines and ton ice cannot relieve this condition—they usually make it worse. The fermentation and acid are to blame, and these must be overcome and preveptod by taking- after meals half a teaspoonfal of bisnrated magnesia, in a little hot or cold water. Physicians recommend bisuratcd magnesia especially because it slops or prevents fermentation of food and neutralises the flciri instantly, making it bland and harmless, without irritating or upfiett'nsr tho stomnch in any way. Get a little bisurated mn<rnfS!a from your chemist and try it tho next time vour food ferments and uppots your stomach. Note how quickly the acid is neutralised, and how soon you forget that you have such, a thing as a stomach.—Adrt.
