Acid stomachs are dangerous be
cause acid irritates and infiames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach. and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medi-
cinal treatments are useless in such
cases. for they leave the source of the
trouble. the acid in the stomach. as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized and it's formation pre-
vented, and the best thing for this
purpose is teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia. a simple antacid, taken in
a little warm or cold water after eat
ing. which not only neutralizes the
acid, bat also prevents the fermenta-
tion from which acidity is developed

little bisurated magnesia, which can
be obtained from any druggist. and
