Physician's Advice on Cause
and Cure.
A famous physician whose success
full researches into the cause and cure
have earned for him an international
reputation, said In the course of q re-
cent lecture that nearly all intestinal
troubles, as well as many diseases of
the vital organs, were directly trace
able to deranged condition of the
stomach, which In turn was due nine
times out of ten to excessive acidity,
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which. not only. irritated
and infiamed the delicate lining OF the
stomach, but also set up gastritis and
stomach ulcers. 1t Is interesting to
note that he condemns the use. of
patent medicines as well as of medical
treatment for the stomach, stating
cured remarkable results by the use
OF ordinary bisurated magnesia,
which, by neutralizing the acidity of
the food, removes the source of the
foolish. to treat the stomach itself as
u would be for man who stepped
on 2 tack to rub Imminent on the foot
without first removing the tack. Re-
itself-neutralize the acid and the
stomach troubles will disappear Ir-
'ritating medicines and medical treat
ments are useless, SO long as the con-
move the acidity and there will be no
need for mediciTle--the infiamed lining
Of the stomach will then heal itself.
Sufferers from acidity, sour stomach

druggist, and take a teaspoonful In a
