the improper use of artificial digest.
ents or drugs like pepsin or soda pills
and tablets in the treatment of stom-
ach trouble declares a well-known
physician.
In fully nine cases out of ten di.
gestive trouble is caused by an excess
of hydro-chloric acid in the stomach,
which sours and ferments the food,
creating gas on the stomach and often
causing intense pain or burning.
The forcing of food from stomach to
intestines with artificial digestents in
such a case is almost criminal folly
as serious intestinal indigestion may
very easily follow. Instead the STAN.
ach should be given a magnesia bath
to clean out the acids sweeten the food
contents, soothe and allay inflama-

walls and thus permit the normal
healthy digestion of the food.
You can give your acid inhamed
stomach no finer treatment than a
magnesia bath. 1t is simple, easy and
pl J>sant to take, cannot injure the
stomach and Is not at all expensive.
Just get a small bottle Of Bisurated
