HOW TO STOP PAIN IN STOMACH.

THE VALUE OF MAGNESIA AND HOT WATER. Generations of people have employed ho|j water as a soother of pain in the stomach, but modem, physicians and specialists hav« discovered and used successfully an addition vhigh. renders the hot -water trebly efficacious. Hot water is still recommended in all cases of stomach pain, from whatever cause arising, but still better results are obtainsd if a little bisurated magnesia is added. Hot water attracts blood to the painful part and the bisurated magnesia neutralises the acid, which is usually the underlying cause of the pain. That is why such excellent results follow combination of the 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 • teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia immediately after meals, the dangerous stomach acids are destroyed, and food remains bland and sweet until perfectly digested. The bisurated' magnesia, which is extensively used in hospitals, can readily be obtained from chemist* everywhere 5 but to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates, and oxides of magnesia, or equally unsuitable mixtures of bismuth and magnesia, it is important that bisurated should be asked for very distinctly. —652
