Undigested food delayed in the stom.

Indigestion is caused by IIyper-acidity,
meaning, there is an excess of hydro

vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sours in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the stom-

heavy, lumpy misery il the chest, we
belch up gas, we eructate sour food or

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
ey . Stomach Specialist

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles. have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble. that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in the stomach. ag-
gravated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining of
the stomach and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stom-
ach abnormally, causing that full
abnormal, but irritated almost past en-
durance by these foreign 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 is to neutralize the acid
| and stop the fermentation by taking in
a little warm or cold water immediate
| 1y after eating, from one to two tea
spoonfuls Of bisurated magnesia, which
/. is doubtless the best and only really
effective antacid and food corrective
known The acid will be neutralized
and the fermentation stopped almost
instantly, and your stomach will at
once proceed to digest the food in a
healthy, normal manner. Be sure to
ask Mcbride & Will Drug Company OF
any druggist for the bisurated mag
nesia, as I nave round other forms
