WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble, about nine times
out Of ten, are due to hyperacidity;
therefore stomach sufferers should,
whenever possible, avoid eating food
that is acid in its nature, or which by
chemical action in the stomach de-
velops acidity. Unfortunately, such a
rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the taste as we'll as those
which are rich in blood, flesh and
nerve building properties. This is the
reason VIII dyspeptics and stomach
sufferers are usually so thin, emanci-
ated and lac ling in that vital energy
which can only come from we'll fed
body. For the benefit to those suffer
ers who have been obliged to exclude
from their diet all starchy. sweet or
fatty food, and are trying to keep up
a miserable existence on gluten
products, 1t is suggested that you try
meal of any food or foods which you
like. In moderate amount, taking i'm
Llediately afterwards a teaspoonful of
Bisurated Magnesia in a little hot or
cold water. This will neutralize any
exc. ) acid which made be present, or
hich may be formed, and instead of
the usual feeling of uneasiness and
fullness, you probably will find that
your food agrees with you perfectly
There is nothing better than Bisurated
Magnesia as a food corrective and ant
acid. 1t has no direct action on the
stomach; but by neutralizing the
acidity Of tie food contents, and thus
removing the SQUIRE of the acid irri-
tation which i.flames the delicate
stomach lining, it does more than
could be possibly done by any drug or
medicine that acts upon the stomach
lining rather than the stomach con-
tents. Medicines of various kinds
should be taken whenever necessary
but there is no sense in dosing an in
famed and irritated stomach with |
drugs instead of getting rid of the
acid-the cause of the trouble. Get
a little Bisurated Magnesia from
Thistlethwaitc or any druggist, eat |
what you want = your next meal, take |
some of the Bisuratec Magnesia, as
directed above, and see if this isn't
the best advice you ever had on the
subject of eating.-adv.
