Specialist Explains Cause Of
Stomach Trouble
.vALuAsLE ADVICE TO SUFFERER

There are many different forms OF
stomach trouble" said ,weI-known
specialist recently, but practically all
are traceable to excessive acidity and
food fermentation. That Is why the
results obtained from the use of drugs
are usually so disappointing. Admitting
fermentation and consequent acidity OF
the food contents to be the underlying
cause Of NEST forms of indigestion, 1T
naturally follows that the use of re-
liable antacid. such as the pure bisur-
ated magnesia which is SO frequently
prescribed by physicians, will produce
better results than any known drug or
combination Of drugs. Accordingly l
almost invariably advise those who
complain of digestive trouble to get
some bisurated Magnasia (note the
name carefully, as other forms are I'M
suitable for this purpose) from their
druggist, and taken from one to two
teaspoonfuls of the powder, or two .
grain compressed tablets. with little
water after meals. This by Immediately
neutralizing the acid and stopping the
fermentation, removes the cause of all
the trouble ana insures normal and
healthy digestion"
