STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY.

SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST. •So-called stomach troubles, such ns indigestion, wind. stomachache. and inaljiliiv to retain food. instead of indicating that the stomach is out of order, arc in nine cases our of 30 simply evidence that, fermentation is taking nlaee in the food contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach, and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The stomach, however. is not at fault. The trouble lies entirely in the fermentation of food. Such fermentation :f unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may involve the most serious consequenees if not prevented. To prevent or stop fermentation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralise the acid, and vender it bland and harmless, half a tea-poonfu! of bisuratod magnesia, probably the best and most effeotive antacid known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water immediately af'er eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation. and neutralises the acidity in a few moments. Ferment afion, wind, and acidity are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any chemist, and tints enable the stomach to do its work properly without being hindered by poisonous gas and dangetotis acids.—M.F.P.
