TREATMENT FOR HEARTBURN.

If soda, taken in small quantities after meals, does not relieve the

distress, one may rest assured that the fluid is an alkali and requires an

acid treatment. Proceed, after eating, to squeeze ten drops of lemon-juice

into a small quantity of water, and swallow it. The habit of daily life

should be made to conform to the laws of health, or local treatment will

prove futile.
