HOW TO STOP PAIN IN STOMACH. . c THE VALUE OF MAGNESIA AND HOT WATER. ■Generations of people have employed hob water as a soother of pain in the stomach, but modern physicians and specialists have discovered and used successfully an addi"* tion which renders the hot water trebly efficacious. Hot water is sti|l recommended in all cases of stomach pain,.from whatever cause arising, but still better results are obtained if a little bisurated magnesia is added Hot water attracts blood to the painful part and the bisurated magnesia neutralises th© acid, which is usually th© underlying cause of the pain. That is why such excellent results follow combination of tbo two. Readers who are subject to pain in the stomach, especially after eating, should try this hot water and magnesia recipe. It renders dieting quite unnecessary, for by slowly drinking half a glassful of hot water containing half a tdaspoonfur of bisurated magnesia immediately after meals, the dangerous stomach acids ar© destroyed, and food remains bland and sweet ■ until perfectly < digested. The bisurated magnesia, which is extensively used in hospitals, can readily be obtained from chemists everywhere! but to avoid confusion with the acetates, and oxides of magnesia or equally unsuitable mixtures of bismuth and magnesia. It is important’ that bisurated should be asked •for very distinctly.—6s2.
