PEPSIN ACTS ONLY IN STOMACH Without Value in Intestines Which . . ..... - - Are Alkaline in Reaction. ( It is not becoming generally known to physicians that the extended prevalence of indigestion and dyspepsia, and the aparent inability of the medical pr&fessiori at large to deal with them, is in a ' large part due to the exaggerated importance attached to pepsin in the treatment of this class of maladies. . Pepsin, it has been found, will act only in an acid medium. , Alkaline destroys its value: On the otlier hand the intestines, the function of which is to select .the nouishmetit of eliminate the waste, are always alkaline in reaction. Conse-. queutly 'where . there is fermentation and gas In the intestines, pepsin is absolutely Inert and valueless. In order "that this poison and waste matter be thoroughly eliminated, instead of being given out by the intestines to spread disease through the' system It is necessary that the fermentation be checked, and the formation of poisonous gases stopped. It is important and gratifying to knaw that any good neutralizing mixture will do this. One of the best of these can' be made up as follows: One-half ounce sodium phosphate, one. ounce essence of sealmlnt, half teasoonful good baking soda, enough watiS- to make eight ounces. Dose, two teaspoonfula before each meal. It is said that this mixture acts directly upon the intestines, correcting acidity, checking fermentation, and placing them in proper condition to receive fresh chyme from the stomach It would have been well if these facts had been generally known long ago. Cut this out and save it. Tou may' need it. and any druggist can maie you this neutralizing mixture, or yrm'rcaii taQt It' up yourself at home.j
