HOW TO PREVENT
! ACID STOMACHS AND

~ . Stomach Specialist.

AZ q specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment Of
stomach troubles. have been forced to
tho conclusion that most people who
complain Of stomach trouble possess
etomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal Tho real trouble. that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
Is acid in the stomach. usually due to
or aggravated by. food fermentation.
Acid irritates the delicate lining Of the
stomach and food fermentation causes
wind which distends the stomach ab-
normally, causing that full bloated feel
Ing. Thus both acid and fermentation
interfere with and retard the process of
digestion. The stomach 10 usually
healthy and normal. but irritated al

elements-acid and wind. In all such
cases-and they comprise over 80 per
cent Of all stomach difficulties-the first
and only step necessary IL to neutralize
the acid and stop the fern ,ntation by
taking in a little warm OF cold water
Immediately after eating. from one to
two teaspoonfuls Of bisurated magnesia.
which is doubtless the best and only
really effective antacid and food cor
rective known. The acid will be neu-
tralized and tho fermentation stopped
almost instantly. and your stomach will
at once proceed to digest the food In q

ask your chemist for the bisurated
