How to Prevent Acid Stomachs And Food Fermentation Yon may complain of stomach troublo and yet. your stomach mny be absolute ly normal and healthy. Tho real trouble tho troublo that nearly every body has at times is probably ex cessive acid in tho stomach. You may bo quite sure that this is your troublo if your food ferments, turns sour, causes 'belching, distress after eating, ete. Excessive acid irritates the deli cate lining 0f the stomnch abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both ncid and fermentation iuterfem with and retard tho process of diges tion. The stomach wall is usually healthy and normal, but irritated al most past endurance by these foreign elements ncid and wind, In all such cases and they comprise a great ma jority of all stomach difficulties tho first and only step necessary is to neu truli.e tho ncid and stop fermentation by taking iu a little warm or cold water immediately after eating, from, one to two teaspoonfuls of Disunited Mnunesin which is a remarkably ef fective antacid ami food corrective. The excess acid will bo neutralized uud the food fermentation stopM'd im mediately so that your stomach may then proceed to digest tho food in n healthy normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for Disunited Mag nesia rather than Magnesia in uny other form. Allen Co. It. F. PETERS, Manager
