FOR ACID STOMACHS USE MAGNESIA. The almost universal use of magnesia by physicians and specialists in the treatment of stomach troubles is due to the fact that it stops food fermentation and neutralises the acid—the direct cause of nearly all stomach troubles. Of the many forms of magnesia, such as oxides, carbonates, sulphates, etc., the most suitable and efficient, and.the one prescribed by leading specialists, is bisurated magnesia, half a teaspoonful of which in a little warm water, immediately after eating, will instantly neutralise the acid, stop the fermentation, and thus ensure painless normal digestion. Care should be taken to get bisurated magnesia, as its action is infinitely more effective. It is also, by the way, usually stocked by chemists in convenient compressed tablets as well as in the ordinary powder form. Stomach sufferers and dyspeptics who follow this plan and avoid the use of pepsin, charcoal, drugs, and medicines are invariably astonished' to find that the stomach, relieved of the irritating acid and gas. soon regains its normal tone, and can do its work alone without the doubtful aid of artificial digestants.— Advt.
