MYSTERIOUS STOMACH TROUBLES.
PRINCIPAL CAUSE REVEALED,
A great deal of mystery is made about stomach troubles, and many people go in. constant dread of life-long incapacity or the horrors of the operating table just because they experience pain in the region of the stomach for which they cannot account. Instead of looking for the cause of the trouble, they seem only too ready to describe themselves as “martyrs to indigossion” or “chronic dyspeptics.” Excessive acidity is said to be the direct cause of move than 90 per cent, of all stomach troubles, and, according to many eminent physicians, the occasional use of a reliable antacid, such as half a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in a little water after meals, will do more towards righting stomach derangements than all the patent foods and medicines ever invented, because this got as the root of the trouble —stops * fermentation of the food contents, and nutralisos t’/o acids which otherwise would irritate and inflame the stomach.—Advt.
