insuring mm mmsnm, IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTING FOOD FERMENTATION IN " STOMACH. Good digestion usually means good health. So Jong as the stomach does its work properly disease can find no lodgment in the 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 &et in motion. About the only thing that will upsefc 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 detention of the stomach and the burning by the acid: of the delicate lining of the stomach. Medicines a,nd tonics cannot relieve this condition—they usually make ?t worse. The fermentation aiid 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 a.ny way. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your chemist and try it the next time your food ferments and iwets your stomach. Note how quickly the add is neutralised, and. how r-con you forget that you have such a thing a s a stomach.
