Gas in the Stomach is Dangerous.

PHYSICIANS RECOMMEND THE

USE OF MAGNESIA. ;

Sufferers from indigestion or dyspepsia should remember that the presence ot gas or wind in the stomach is troubled by excessive acidity.

This acid causes the food to ferment and the fermenting food in turn gives rise to noxious gases which distend the stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal organs, cause acute headaches, interfere with the action of the heart, and charge the blood stream with deadly poisons, which in time must ruin the health. Physicians say that to quickly dispel a dangerous accumulation ot wind in the stomach and to stop the food fermentation which creates the

gas, the acid in the stomach must be neutralised, and that for this purpose there is nothing quite so good as hali a teaspoonful ot pure bisurated magnesia taken in a little water immediately after meals. This instantly neutralises the acid, thus stopping fermentation and the formation of gas, and enables the inflamed, distended stomach 1 to proceed with us work under natural conditions.

Bisurated magnesia is obtainable in powder or tablet form from any chemist; but as there are many different forms of

magnesia it is important that the bisurated which the physicians prescribe should be distinctly asked for.
