IF FOOD DISAGREES DRINK HOT WATER.

When food lies like lead iu the stomach and you have that uncomfortable distended feeling, it is because of insufficient blood supply tn the stomach, combined with acid and food fermentation. In such cases try the plan now followed in many hospitals and advised by eminent specialists of taking half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in half a glass of water as hot as you can com fori ably 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 the acid ami slops the food fermentation. Try this simple plan and you will be astonished at the immediate feeling of relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. But be sure you sisk the ■chemist very distinctly for bisurated magnesia, 11ms avoiding contusion with Ihe sulphates, oxides, and citrates or bismuth and magnesia mixtures which are often unsuitable. Soldiers at the front and travellers who are frequently abliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared should always take two or three five-grain tablets of bisurated magnesia after meals to prevent fermentation and neutralise the acid.
