Carbonic acid gas, says medical
authority, has the singular property OF
lessening the sense of hunger, and
may probably be remembered in deal
ing with cases of diabetes. The seat
of hunger is found in the solar pick
US. BY the use of water charged with
carbonic acid gas the branches of the
solar pleNus distributed through the
mucous membrane of the stomach are
influenced in such way that the alb,
normal irritation of the pleNus which
is the foundation for the ravenous
hunger often present in diabetes and
certain forms of indigestion may be
greatly mitigated, if not appeased.
