HOW TO STOP PAIN IN THE STOMACH.

THE VALUE OF MAGNESIA AND HOT WATER. >

Generations of people have employed hot water as a soother of pain .$n the stomach, bat modern physicians and specialists have discovered and used "successfully an addition which renders the hot water trebly efficacious. Hot water is still recommended in all cases of stomach pain, from whatever cause arising, but Btill better* results are obtained 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 combinations of the two. Readers who are subject to pain in the stomach, especially after eating, should try this hot water and mag.nesia 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, tho 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 chemists everywhere; but to avoid confusion with the acetates, citrates, and oxide of magnesia, or equally unsuitable mixtures of bismuth and magnesia, it is important that bisurated should be asked iov very distinctly. .___ „
