ACID STOMACHS NEED MAGNESIA. Drugs may give temporarykrelief from the pam which usually results from an excess of ecid in the etomach, but drugs do not eliminate the, acid, and in consequence the pain returns —worse than before. * To effect -.-a cure you must first eliminate the acid which is the cause of all -the trouble, and a sure way to accomplish this is to take a little bisurated magnesia after your meals. This quickly neutralises the harmful acid; prevents the food turning, sour and fer-j menting, soothes and heals the inflamed 1 stomach and enables you to again eat and enjoy the foods you fancy, secure in tho knowledge that no pain or discomfort will result. Of course, it will be understood that ordinary forms of magnesia, such as the citrates or sulphates, will not accomplish these happy results, neither will crude mixtures of bismuth and magnesia. You must got tho bisurated magnesia, which is a form prepared specially for use in cases of digestive and stomach trouble. This can veadily be obtained of high-class chemists everywhere in • both powder and tablet form, the latter being especially suitable for travellers and others compelled to take meals away from home. 673
