II years, and the shortest for one

Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by a Distin.
suished Specialist.

Acid stomachs are dangerous be.
cause acid irritates 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 pre-
vented, and the best thing for this
purpose is a teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia, simple antacid, 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 may
be eaten with IMMUNITY if the meal Is
followed with little bisurated mag
nesia. which can be obtained from
Wilkinson & Co., or any druggist.
and should always be kept handy.
