Acid StOmachS Are

Common Sense Advice by a Distin-
quished Scientist.
Acid" stomachS are dangerous be
cause acid irrltates and infiames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medi-
cinal treatments are useless in such
cases, for they leave the source of the
trouble. the acid in the stomach, as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized and its formation prevent
ed. and the best thing for this purpose
Is a teaspoonful of bisurated mag
nesia. a simple anti-acid. taken in a
little warm or cold water after eating
which not only neutralizes the acid
but also prevents the fermentation
from which acidity is developed. Foods
which ordinarily cause distress NAV
be eaten with impunity if the meal is
followed with a little bisurated mag
nesia. which can be obtained from any
druggist, and should always be kept
handy (Adv).
