WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT.

A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE. “Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble arc, nine times out of ten. duo to acidity: therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most foods which arc pleasant to tho taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh, and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated, and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well-fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet, or fatty food, and aro trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try a meal of any food or foods which you may like in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards half a tcaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralise any acid which may be present, or which may bo formed, and instead of tho usual feeling of uneasiness and fulness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best fOod corrective and antacid known. It is not a medicine, and has no directaction on the stomach; but by neutralising tho acidity of tho food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which inflames tho delicate stomach lining, it does more, than could possibly bo done by any drug or medicnc. As a physician I believe in tho use of racdicino whenever necessary, but I must admit that I cannot seo tho sense of dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs instead of. getting rid of the acid—the cause of all tho trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist, cat what you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed above, and see if I’m not right.”
