So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach- ache and inability to retain food are in probably nine cases 'out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secre- tion of acid is taking placé In the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and céuses that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess de- velopment or secretion of acid. To stop, or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoontul ot Bisurated magnesia, a good and effec- tive corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or when- ever gas, sournees or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neu- tralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inex- pensive remedy to use. An antacid, such as Bisurated Mag- nesia, which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form, enables the stomach to do its work 'properly without the ald of artificial digestents. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurmated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose. a DOG DISEASES : and How to Feed Mailed Free to Ad. dress by the Author. lover Go.
