During the past year several ply
sicians in New York have tried, with
a gratifying success, a novel treat
ment for dyspepsia and cancer of the
stomach by washing out that organ,
The process is very simple and not
dangerous. A long flexible piped is
passed down the throat Until one end
is in the stomach. The. upper end
has q funnel attached; into which hot
water. is poured uhtil the stomach is
filed. The weight of the water in
the pipe and funnel gives athydraulic
pressure sufficient to distend the
stomach. The pipe has an aperture
big enough to hold lead pencil.-
After the stomach has been filed, the
funnel end of the pipe is turned down
until it is lower than the bottom of
the stomach, and the stomach is
emptied as a barrel of any fluid is
emptied, through a siphon. The re-
suit is that the undigested food and
mucus ere washed out, and the hot
water closes the blood vessels aud re-
duces inflammation. The relief is
immediate, The dyspeptie may have
his stomach washed out before meal
so that he can take a fresh start.
After the lapse of sufficient time
for ordinary digestion, the stomach
may be washed out again. -
