Specialist Explains Cause of Stomach Trouble.

VALUABLE ADVICE TO SUFFERERS.

" There are many different .forms of stomach trouble, J> said a well-known specialist recently, " but practcilly all are traceable to excessive acklily and food fermentation. That is why the results obtained from the u^e of drugs are usually so disappointing- Admitting fermentation and consequent acid.ty of the food contents to be the underlying cause of most forms of indigestion, it naturally follows that the use of a reliable antacid/such as the pure bisurated

magnesia which is so frequently pre scribed by physicians, will produce better results than any known drug or combination of drugs. Accordingly I almost invariably advise those who complain ot digestive trouble to get some bisurated magnesia (note the name carefully, as other forms are unsuitable lor this purpose) from their chemist, and take halt a teaspoonful ot the

powder, or two 5-gram compressed tablets, with a little water after meals This, by immediately neutralising the acid and stopping the fermentation, removes the cause ol all the trouble and ensures normal and healthy digestion."
