A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE. " If dyspeptics, sufferers from flatulence indiges­ .. tion, acidity, gastric catarrh, etc., would only take a quarter teaspoonful of pure l>Uurated magnesia in half a glass of hot water immediately after eating, they would soon forget that they were eve:r affiicted with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients." In explana­ tion of these words the specialist stated that most forms of stomach trouble were due to acidity and fermentation of the food contents combined with insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases the blood supply, and bisurated magnesia instantly neutralises the acid and stops food fermentation; the combina:tion of .the ~wo, therefore, being marvellously e:ffie1ent and mfimtely preferable to the use of artificial digestives, stimulants and medicines. It should be mentioned though that .he form of magnesia referred to is quite distinct from the sulphates, citrates, oxides, or the often-met mixtures of bismuth and magnesia, and to prevent confusion you should as~ the chemist very distinctly for bi.turated magnesia. IMPORTANT.-We are advised that Bisurated Magnesia is now obtainable of all chemists at the following prices : Powder form, 1/9 and 2/9 per bottle. Mint-flavoured Tablets, 1/1 and 2/1 per flask.­ Advt.
