Interesting inturnsuion About the
Stomach.
FROM tie New ~sss- T'-,h"ne.
The human stomach is the chief organ
of digestion. 1t is 'sthe expansion OF
the superior end OF the ailmentary can |
for the reception OF food, its disintegrs-
ton and solution. and the digestion OF
aibuninoid matter" The verase stom.
ach when inll is twelve inches long apd
four inches high. 1t is situated Oh the
left side OF the body below the diaph-
rsaSm, behind and beneath the free RIBS.
The external layer of the stomach IS q
reflection of the perltoneum or serious
membrane lining the abdominal cavity;
the second layer is muscular and has
shree seperate sets of fihers-the
obiieue, the longitudinal and the circu-
lar. The third coat IS cellular and con-
meets The muscular coat with the inter
nal mucous coat The third coat con-
tains the blood-vesse!s which supply the
capi.iaries beneath the secretiug glands
OF the mucous membrane. The fourth
coat or mucous Inning ofthe stomach has
glands of two kinds, the mu :ous gands
situated at the pyloric oritice-that
where the food leaves the stomach and
enters the second stomach or duodenum
and the pc ptic glands situated in all
other parts than the pv!Or-
us and secreting the gastric
juice. The main artery of the stomach
springs from the common root with tue
main arteries of the liver and Of the
spleen, and also receives two branches
Of each OF them. The terminal branches
of the pneumogastric nerve, which
gives eff branches controlling the action
of til heart and lungs, also of the Wind
pipe and Gsuphagus or guliet, are re-
CO we'd by the stomach. BY reason of
this ympnthetc connection of the stom-
ach with the heart and lungs apparent
disorders of these organs are
caused simply by functional disorders
of the stomach. What is considered
heart disease by many people is simply
one form of indigestion. and can be
cured by eating wisely and not too well.
Difficult breathing. hoarseness, coughing
are often caused by imperfect digestion.
When food is taken into healthy
stomach its presence there at once SUM-
mons the blood to the stomach, and
the mucous and the optic glands pour
their contents into the cavity; the
spiral movement OF tho mueu!ar
coat begin, the three sets OF
muscles-lonsitudina circular ard
obiique--freely propei the contained
food from side to side, unless hindered
by external compression in the shape of
corsets and tight Wristbands. Sue" por-
by the stomach are absorbed and ut
once enrich the blood, while those that
require to be mixed with the bile and
pancreatlc juice are, after being reduced
to PUPPY mass, permitted to pass
through the py.orous into the duoden-
UNI.
The muscular coats of the sto mach
will be of like tone with the other mus
cular parts Of the body. One cannot
have weak muscles in their arms and
legs and have strong muscles in their
stonacns, and the reverse Of this is
equally true. The iaborlns man with
theWs and sinews of steel can eat and
digest with robust enjoyment what
would give the weakling fit ofsickness.
If one would have sound and vigorous
digestion he must have vigorous muscles
Hence the necessity Of abundance Of
wholesome exercise to all who eat.
One may weaken the stomach by not
eating enough, as one may weaken it by
overlooking it and exhausting its ener.
gies. But errors in eating are far often
er than otherwise those of excess At
tacks of 'billcusness" are almost always
the result Of iDjudicious and excessive
| indulgence in eating, and can be cured
by abstinence for a time. One of the
most eminent physicians of the present
! day says: I'm the regulation Of diet,
much certainly is to be done in dyspep-
| tic cases hy attention to the
articles that are to be taken;
but am satisfied that much
more depends upon this quantity; and |
am even disposed to say, that the dys-
peptic might be almost independent if
any attention to the qua lily of bis diet,
if be rigidly observed the necessary re-
strictions in regard to quantity" The
very strong men and the very active
men are moderate eaters. And why?
Because it takes large amount Of nerve
force to digest food. Great eaters con-
centrate their nerve force in their stom-
achs and so have little left for brain OF
muscle.
One very frequent cause Of the de-
rangement Of the stomach is rapid eat
ing. The food half or not at ali mastica'
ted, and mixed with water instead oi
saliva to make it easily swallowed, is
put into the stouach and this organ is
required to perform not only its own
functions but those as well as of the teeth
and the salivary glands. DR.. Abernethy
told one Of his patients who was suffer
ing from dyspepsia that 'if he'd chew
his food half as we'll as he did his tobac-
co he would be we'll III month"
Another frequent cause of derange-
ment Of the stomach is eating when one
| is tired. The hearty meal Of the
tays should be near the middle of the
day or at the beginning, never at its
close. Those who turn day into night
may eat heartily at six o'clock, but the
mar who goes to bed at nine will sseer
best on a hearty breakfasts and dinner
So long as ono keeps the stomach and 1
