WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT.
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE,

indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are, nine times out of
ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach
sufferers should. whenever possible, avoid
eating food that is acid in it's nature. or
which by chemical action in the stom-
ach develops acidity. Unfortunately,
such a rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant to the taste as we'll as those
building properties. This is the reason
why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers
are usually so thin, emaciated and lack
ing in that vital energy which can only
come from well fed body. For the bene-
fit of those sufferers who have been
Obliged to exclude from their diet all
starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are try
ing to keep up a miserable existence on
gluten products, / would suggest that you
should try a meal of any food or foods
taking Immediately afterwards a tea
spoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little
hot or cold water. This Will neutfalize
any acid which may be present or which
may be formed. and instead of the usual
feeling of uneaSinesS and fullness, you
will find that your food agrees with you
perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubt
less the best food corrective and antacid
known. 1t has 10 direct action on the
stomach; but by neutralizing the acidity
of the food contents, and thus removing
the source of the acid irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining 1t does
more than could cossbly be done by any
drug or medicine. AS a physician, I be-
lieye in the use of medicine whenever
necessary. but l must admit that I can
not see the sense of dosing an inflamed
and irritated stomach with drugs instead
of getting rid of the acid-the cause of all
the trouble. Get a little bisurated mag
ncsia from your druggist, eat what you
want at your next meal, take some of the
bisuarted magnesia IS directed above, and
