 indigestion.

Gas and wind in the stomach accom- panied by that full. bloated feeling af- ter eating are almost certain evidence of the presence of excessive hydrochlo- ric acid in the stomach. creating so- called acid indigestion"
 Acid stcmachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate iin- ing of the stomach. often leading to 2astritis accompa nied by serious stom- ach ulcers. Food ferments and sours creating the distressing gas which dis tends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart
 It Is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurgted Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eat ing. This will drive the gas. wind and bloat right out of the body sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent it's formation and there Is no sourness or pain.
