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 aiimentary canal may
ne described as constituting the or
dinary condition, as certain foods,
such as peas, beans etc, naturally
eliminate and create gas while under
going digestion.
1t is only when this gas accumu-
lates to such extent as to cause IN
convenience and belching, that a
person may be said to be suffering
from flatu.ence This collection OF
gas becomes 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
rid of tnis stomachgas by eructa-
ton, and immediate relief is some
plished. Infants are very subject to
llatulence. especially when their ma
tural food is taken away TOO hastily,
and when food other than that pro-
vided for them by nature is given
them. Mothers and nurses are famil-
lar with this infantile trouble, and
nave various remedies for it. the
most popular of which is char; oal,
which relieves the trouble complete
ly, by absorbing the stomachic ano
intestinal gases, thereby removing
the colicky pains of the infant whicn
is the symptom which most fire.
quently causes the nightly crying
spells.
Charcoal is a marvellous absorbent
and is capable OF oxidizing and alb
sorbing one hundred times its own
yolumne IN gases. 1t 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 it's doing and harm whatever
to the system.
Infants and old people can use IL as
readily as young persons and those
in the prime of life, and nothing but
benefit can result from its use. Il
san also be used in any quantity; ana
in this respect II differs from drugs
sometimes employed for stomach
troubles, as the dosage of these must
be regulated by a competent physi-
clan. Not so with charcoal, however.
.as is shown by the fact that
French surgeon used as much as flt-
teen ounces per day every day OF
the last thirty years of his life.
