HOW TO GET RID
OF DYSPEPSIA
Don't Rely on Medicine; Don't Go on
Freak Diet; Common Sense and an
kntaoid Usually All That Are
Needed.

"If you have dyspepsia. Indigestion,
sour stomach, beiching, distress after
eating, heartburn or any other stomach
trouble due to hyperacidity (the usual
cause of stomach troubles), you should
take no medicine to act upon the stomach
itself. That is positively not the way to
cure the trouble. Again, you should not
half starve yourself by going without
the nutritious food that you need TO re-
build waste tissues. Some foods are not
good for people even when in perfect
health-very rich, sweet, highly seasoned
dishes. Avoid these. but eat fairly sub
stantiai meals of plain foods. Eat slow
Fly. Even II you drink nothing but water.
you should not drink with meals Drink
before and after eating. Do not take
pepsin or other. artificial digestants. If
you follow the foregoing simple instrue-
lions ii is probable that you, will not
need any medicine at all except. il you
want to call it medicine little .antacid
after meals. The best antacid Is ordl-
nary bisurated magnesia. which can be
purchased at any drug store This is not
to act upon the stomach but on the con-
tents of the stomach. The antacid, as
you can learn by consulting your die
tionary or encyclopedia, is merely to neu-
tralize or counterfeit the excess acid so
the stomach can digest the food, nor,
mally. Take a teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia in a little cold or hot water
after each meal. You should get imme-
diaee relief, even If your case is severe.
Careful, moderate eating and the use of
bisurated magnesa shauld put your
stomach in normal condition in short
time; if you have not allowed dyspepsia
to advance to the extreme stage OF de-
yeloping stomach ulcers.-Adv.
