ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS.
COMMON-SENSE ADVICE BY A DISTI NO DISHED SPECIAL! ST.
“ Acid ’’ stomachs aro dangerous because acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Medicines and medicinal treatments arc useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must, be neutralised, and its formation pre-
vented, and the best thing for this purpose is half a teaspoonful of h'surated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or* cold water after eatmg, which not only neutralises the acid, hut, also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed, Foods which ordinarily cause greatest distress can he eaten with impunity if the meal is followed with a little bieurated magnesia, which can he obtained of any chemist, and should always bo kept handy.—Advt.
