Practical Prescript ion Against Stomach Acidity. v — -+ " BY A SPECIALIST. " Nine-tenths'of all cases of stomach trouble nowadays," says a leading specialist, "are caused by too much acid. In the beginning the stomach itself is not diseased, but if this acid condition is allowed to continue, the acid is very likely to eat into the stomach walls and produce stomach ulcer or cancer, either of which. may. render a radical surgical operation necessary, even to -prolong life. 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 teaspoonfull of bisurated magnesia in a little water after each meal. Large quantities may be used if necessary, as it ra 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 bisurated, and frequently do more harm than good/
