they suffer the discomfort after meals
To put wholesome food into an acid
stomach only increases the discomfort,
because the acid mixes with the fresh
food and turns it sour, making a lot moro
acid. The acid condition causes food
fermenttion. which initiates, distends and
inflames the tender stomach lining, and
1t is not surprising that specialists say
acid stomachs are dangerous. This de-
cidedly dangerous and uncomfortable
condition can be overcome either by fol-
lowing strict diet or, and this fs tar
easier and more quickly effective, by
taKing a teaspoonful of bisurated mag
nesia in a quarter glassful Of water after
