Accumulation of Gas
 In the Stomach
One of the Most Common Symptoms of Dyspepsia and Deranged Digestion

The presence of small quantity of gas in the ailmentary canal may be described as constituting the ordinary condition. as certain foods. such as and create gas while undergoing di- gestion.
 It is only when this gas accumulates to such an extent as to cause incon- venienee and belching that a person may be said to be suffering from fatu- lence. This collection of gas becomes in extreme cases so great that a swell ing presents itself in the pit Of the stomach. and when this stage is reach ed complaint is made that this part feels tender to the touch, the clothes of the person being loosened to obviate the distress occasioned by pressure.
 Attempts are usually made to get rid of this stomachgas by eructation. and immediate relief Is sometimes obtained when this is accomplished. Infants are very subject to fiatulence. especially when their natural food Is taken away too hastily and when food other than that provided for them by nature is given them. Mothers and nurses are familiar with this infantile trouble. and have various remedies for it. the most popular Of which is charcoal. which relieves the trouble completely, by absorbing the stomachic and fntes.

 Charcoal is a marvellous absorbent, and Is capable Of oxidizing and absorb ing one hundred times its own volume in gases. It is applicable to all cases of fiatulence or gas in the stomach. and. as 1t is entirely harmless. it can be taken by any one. with comparative impunity and without fear of its doing any harm whatever to the system.
 Infants and old people can dse ft as readily as young persons and those in the prime of life, and nothing but bene- ft can result from its use. It can also be used In any quantity; and in this respect it differs from drugs sometimes employed for stomach troubles. as the dosage of these must be regulated by a competent physician. Not so with charcoal. however as is shown by the Tact that a French surgeon used as much as fifteen ounces per day every day of the last thirty years of his life.
