STOMACH TROUBLES

Excessive acid In the stomach, OF
hyperacidity, as it is called, is primar-
lily responsible for nearly all cases OF
indigestion. dyspepsia. gGstritis, and
fiatulence, and quite frequently leads
to stomach ulcers. The successful
treatment for prevention as well as
cure OF such cases depends entirely
on neutralizing the excess acid. stop
ping the food fermentation, and heal
ing the inflamed mucous membrane
that lines the stomach. For this pur-
pose specialists are now advising the
use Of pure bisurated magnesia, which
has recently been found to be un-
equalled In the treatment of even the
severest cases. A teaspoonful in a
little water Immediately after eating
stops all pain almost instantly. neu-
tralizes the acid. and soothes the In
famed stomach and If regularly used
will quickly remove the cause Of the
trouble and effect complete relief.
