GOOD DIGESTION WITHOUT MEDICINE.
ADOPTION OF , ANTACID THEORY. In the old days pain in the stomach after eating or inability to retain food, variously known as dyspepsia;, indigestion, or gastritis, called for the taking of powerful pain-killing drugs or useless and expensive artificial digestants; the usual result being big medicine bills and an irreparably damaged stomach and intestinal tract Modern enlightened research has changed all this. It hae shown conelusiyelr that acid and fermentation, which irritate and inflame the delicate stomach lining, is the direct cause of most of the_ trouble. Specialists therefore nowadays, instead of giving medicines and drugs, follow the more logical plan of neutralising the dangerous acid by 'taking immediately after eating, in a little water, half a teaspoonful of a form of magnesia prenared especially for stomach use, and known among chemists &s bifeurated magnesia,' Tin's quickly neutralises the ncid, stops food fermentation, and makes the food_ contents bland and eweet, this permitting the stomach to proceed with its work without hindrance and under normal conditions-. Try it and s.oe for yourself, but be sure that you get the genuine bisurated magnesia.—Advt.
