GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS.
DYSPEPTICS ADVISED TO TAKE MAGNESIA AFTEE MEALS.
Sufferers from in caseation or dyspepsia should remember that the presence of gas or wind in the stomach invariably indicates that the stomach is troubled by excessive acidity. This acid causes the food to ferment, and th.-s fermenting food in turn gives rise to noxious gases which distend tho stomach, hamper the normal functions of vital internal organs, cause acute headaches, interfere with the action of tho heart, and charge the blood stream with poisons, which in time may ruin the health. It has frequently been shown that to quickly dispel a dangerous accumulation of wind in tho stomach and to stop tho food fermentation which creates the gas, tho acid in - the stomach must be neutralised, and for thla purpose there is nothing quite so good as half a teaspaanful of bisurated magnesia takvn in a little water immediately after meals. This quickly neutralises the acid, thus stopping fermentation and the formation of gas, and enabling tho inflamed, distended stomach to proceed with its work under natural conditions, Bisurated magnesia is obtainable of chemists in powder or tablet form, but as thero are many dif« ferent fcrms of magnesia it Is important tha.t tho bisurated magnesia should be distinctly asked for. —Advt.
