Accumulation of Gas
 In The Stomach
One of the Most Common Symptoms of Dyspepsia and Oeranseo
 Digestion.


 The presence of a small quantity of gas in the alimentary canal may be described as constituting the ordinary condition, as certain foods. such as peas. beans. etc. naturally eliminate and create gas while undergoing di- gestion.
 IL is only when this gas accumu- lates to such extent as to cause in convenience. and belching. that a per son may be said to be suffering from flatulence. This collection of gas be- comes in extreme cases so great that a swelling presents itself in the pit of the stomach; and when this stage is reached. 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 stomach-gas by eructation. and immediate relief is sometimes obtained when this is accomplished. Infants are very subject to flatulence. espe- cially when their natural food is taken away too hastily. and when food other than that provided for them by na- ture is given them Mothers and nurses are familiar with this infantile trouble. and have various remedies for It, the most popular of which is char coal, which relieves the trouble com pletely. by absorbing the stomachic and intestinal gases. thereby removing the colicky pains of the infant, which is the symptom which most frequently causes the nightly crying spells
 Charcoal is a marvellous absorbent. and is capable of oxidizing and ab- sorbing one hundred times it's own volume in gases. It is applicable to all cases of flatulence or gas in the stomach. and as it is entirely harm less, 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 use it as readily as, young persons and those in the prime of life. and nothing but benefit can result from its use II 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 competent physi- elan. Not so with charcoal. however. as is shown by the fact that a French surgeon used as much as fifteen ounces per day. every day of the last thirty years of his life.
