Accumulation OF Gas
In The Stomach
One Of the Most Common Symptoms of
Dyspepsia and Deranqed Digestion.

The presence of a small quantity of
gas in the ailmentary canal may be de-
scribed as constituting the ordinary
condition, as certain foods, such as
peas, beans, etc, naturally eliminate
and create gas while undergoing di-
gestion.
1t is only when this gas accumulates
TO such extent as to cause inconven-
ience and belching, that a person may
be said to be suffering from t1atulence.
This collection of gas becomes in eX-
IRENE cases so great that swelling
presents itself in the pit of the stom-
ach; 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-g gas by eructaton, and
immediate relief is sometimes obtained
when this is accomplished Infants are
very subject TO fatulence, 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 nfantile trouble.
and have various remedies for it, the
most popular of which IS charcoal,
which relieves the trouble completely,
by absorbing the stomachic and intes-
final gases, thereby removing the coll
icky pains of the infant, which is the
symptom which most frequently causes
the nightly crying spells.
Charcoal is q marvellous absorbent,
and IS capable OF oxidizing and absorb
ing one hundred times its own volume

of hatulence or gas in the stomach,
and as it is entirely harmless, it can
be taken, by any one, with compare tive
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 bene-
At can result from its use. 1t 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
fact that a French surgeon used as
much as fifteen ounces per day, every
day OF the last thirty years Of his life.

be employed in all cases where the

ton of food and also from the use Of

ach.
