Stomach Troubles
Due To Acidity
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN

On ME- w ohthh Il
A well-known New York physi-
clan in speaking of dyspepsia and
its proper treatment says that So
called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, stomach-ache
and inability to retain food, are
in probably nine cases out of ten
simply evidence that fermenta-
ton is taking place in the food
contents Of the stomach, caus-
ing the formation of gas and
acids. Wind distends the stom-
ach. and causes that full, oppres-
sive feeling sometimes known as
heartburn, while the acid irri-
tates and inflames the delicate
lining Of the stomach. The trou-
BILE lies largely in the fermenting
food, causing the formation of ex-
cess acid. Such fermentation is
unnatural, and may involve
most serious consequences IL not
corrected.
To stop or prevent fermenta-
ton of the food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the
dangerous acid and make 1t
harmless, teaspoonful of bisur-
ated magnesia, probably the best
and most effective corrector of
acid stomach known should be
taken in a quarter of glass of
hot or cold water Immediately
after eating, or whenever wind
or acidity is felt. This stops the
fermentation, sweetens the stom-
ach contents and neutrafizes the
acidity in few moments. Fer
mentation, wind and acidity are
dangerous and unnecessary. Stop
or prevent them by the use of a
proper antacid, such as bisurated
magnesia, which can be obtained
from any druggist, and thus en-
able the stomach to do its work
properly without being him
dered by poisoning gas and dan
gerous acids.
