DYSPEPTICS SHOULD DRINK MORE HOT WATER. ■

When food lies like lead in the stomach, and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is because of insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food fermentation. In such casea try the.pla.n now followed in many hospitals and advised by eminent specialists of ta-k-. trig half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach, and the bisurated magnesia, as any physician or chemist can tell you, instantly neutralises the acid and stops" the food 'fermentation. Try this simplo plan and you will be astonished ai the immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. But be sure you ask" the chemist very distinctly for bisurated magnesia, thus avoiding confusion with _ the sulphates, oxides, and citrates or bismuth and magnesia mixtures which are often unsuitable. Soldiers at tho front and travellers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared should always take two or three five-grain tablets of bisurated magnesia after meaLsu to prevent fermentation and neutralise the acid.—Advfc.
