IF FOOD DISAGREES USE 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 cases try the plan now followed in many hospitals and advised by eminent specialists of taking half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as .you can comfortably drink it. The hot watet draws the blood to the stomach, and the bisurated magnesia, any physician or chemist can tell you instantly neutralise* the acid and stops the food fermentation. Try this simple plan _ and you will be astonished at the immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. Soldiers at the 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 meals to prevent fermentation and neutralise the acid.—644.
