INSURING GOOD DIGESTION. Importance of Preventing Food Fermentation in Stomach. Good digestion uusally moans good health, >So long as the stomach does its work properly disease can find no lodgment in tho human system; the liver, kidneys and intestines will perform their work perfectly and remain in perfect health; but interfere with the proper digestion of food and an unending train of, troubles is set in motion. About the only tiling that will upset the stomach and interfere with the digestion is an excess of acid, usually caused, by food fermentation. Food fermentation is due to chemical action in the food itself. This fermentation causes the formation of gas, or wind, as well as acid, resulting in the unnatural distention of the stomach and the burning by the acid of the de licato lining of the' .stomach. Medicines and tonics cannot relieve this condition—they usually make it worse. The fermentation and acid are to blame, and these, must be overcome and prevented by taking after meals half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. Physicians recommend bisurated magnesia especially because it stops or prevents fermentation of food and neutralises the acid instantly, making it bland and harmless, without irritating or upsetting the stomach in any way. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist and try it the next time your food ferments and upsets your stomach. Note how quickly the acid is neutralised, and how soon you forget that you have such a tiling as n stomach. s
