Practical Prescription
AGAINST Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths Of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom-
ach itself Is not diseased but II this
acid condition is allowed to continue,
the acid is very likely to cat into the
stomach walls and produce stomach
ulcers which may render radical
surgical operation necessary even to
rrolong life. Therefore, an "acid stom-
ach" Is really dangerous condition
and should be treated seriously. 1t is ut
terly useless to take pepsin and ordi-
nary stomach tablets. The excess acid
or stomach hyperacidity must be neu-
tralized by the administration OF an eff
cient antacid. For this purpose the best
remedy Is bisurated magnesia taken in
teaspoonful doses In a fourth Of a glass
of water after each meal. Larger guam
titles may be used IL necessary as It is
absolutely harmless. Be sure to ask
your druggist, for the bisuratea mag
pesa as other forms Of maGnesia make
effective mouth washes but they have
lot the same action on the stomach
as the bisurated.-Advt. y
