IP FOOD DISAGREE DRINK HOT WATER. When food lies like load in the stomach and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is becauso of insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food fermentation. In such ca»ses try the plan now followed in many hospitals and advised vbv eminent specialists, of taking half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as vou can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the blood to the stomach, and the bisurated magnesia, as any physician or chemist can tell you, instantly neutralises th© acid and stops the food fermentation. Try this simple plan and you will be astonished at tne Immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. But be sure you ask the chemist very distinctly for bisurated magnesia, thus avoiding' confusion with the sulphates, oxides and citrates or bismuth and magnesia mixtures which are often unsuitable. Soldiers at the front ami travellers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared ahouid always take two or three five-grain tablets of bisurated magnesia after nieais to prevent fermentation and neutralise the acid. 6-11'ia
