DON'T NEGLECT DYSPEPSIA.

A DANGEROUS POLICY LEADING TO UNTOLD -MISERY LATER ON.

Untold misery invariably results from neglect of the early symptoms of indigestion anil dyspepsia, and there is always tno possibility that stomach ulceration or gastritis may develop. That is why it is so dangerous for those who experience pain after eating, with a flushed face, hearthum, etc., to wait and see if the symptoms will subside of their own or become worse. Be assured that they will certainly become worse unless you take steps to neutralise the acid, which is the root cause of the trouble. To neutralise acid in the stomach, and so prevent food fermentation and unpleasantness after meals, is quite an easy matter. Simply get some bisurated magnesia from the -chemist, and take half a teaspoonful in a little water immediately after meals. This plan surely preferable to dosing the stomach with drugs or confining yourself to an unattractive diet of easily digested foods. It enables you to eat freely of the foods you fancy, for, by taking th-3 ' bisurated magnesia, you keep the stomach quite free from acid and prevent all possibility of food fermentation. Food remains bland and sweet until perfectly digested.-' and consequently there is no pain. This plan is recommended by many specialists, and is worthy of a thorough trial by all, but to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates, or oxidesof magnesia, readers should ask the chemists very distinctly for the bisurated, the form prepared especially for stomach use. —Adrb.
