ACCUMULATION OF GAS
In THE STOMACH
One of the Most Common Symptoms
of Dyspepsia and Deranged Di-
gestiOn.

The presence of a small quantity
Of gas in the alimentary canal may
be described as constituting the or
binary condition, as certain foods
such as peas, beans, ETC., naturally
eliminate and create gas while uh
dergoing digestion.
1t is only when this gas accumu-
lates to such extent as to cause III
convenience, and belching, that Il
person may be said to be suffering
from fatulence. The collection of
gas becomes in extreme cases 50
great that 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 dis
tress occasioned by pressure.
Attempts are usually made to get
rid of this stomach-gas by eructa-
blOIy anu 1CllGl 10 SOluC-
times obtained when this is accom-
plshed. Infants are very subject to
flatulence, especially when their
natural food is taken away too has
tily, and when food other than that
provided for them by nature is given
them. Mothers and nurses are IA
miliar 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 stomachfc
and intestinal gasses, thereby remov
ing the colicky pains of the infant.
which is the symptoms which most
frequently causes the nightly crying
spells.
Charcoal is a marvellous absorb
ent, and is capable of oxidizing and
absorbing one hundred times it's own
volume in gases. 1t is applicable
to all cases of flatulence or gas III
the stomach, and as it 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 older people can use
it as readily as young persons and
those in the prime of life, and MOTH
ing but benefit can result from its
use. 1t can also be used in any guam |
tity, and in this respect it differs
from drugs sometimes employed for |
stomach troubles, as the dosage Of |
these must be regulated by a compe-
tent physician. Not so with char.
coal, 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.
Stuart's charcoal lozenges should
be employed in all cases where the
stomach is filled with gases result
ng from the fermentation and de-
of food, and also from
.he use of those vegetable foods l
which seem naturally to engender
md promote the accumulation of gas l

which have an enormous and ever

willow charcoal, combined with pure
honey, and furnish to the sufferer II
rom stomach-gases and foul breath 1

'oal can be administered TO the stom
