Accumulation of Gas
i'm the Stomach
One OF the Most Common Symp-
toms of Dyspepsia and De-
ranged Digestion.

The presence OF a small quantity OF gas in the
alimentary canal may be described as consti-
tutinS the ordinary condition. as certain foods.
such as peas beans etc, naturally eliminate
and create gas while undergoing digestion.
1t is only when this gas sccumuIates to such
extent TO cause incOnv enience and helchIng
that person may be said to be suffering from
fatulence. This collection Of gas becomes In
extreme cases great that a swelling presents
itself In the pit Of the stomach; and when this
stage 10 reached. complaint is made that this
part feels tender TO the touch the clothes a ne
person being loosened TO obviate the distress
occssioned by pressure.
Attempts usually made to get rid OF this
stomach gas by eructation, and immediate re-
lief Is sometimes obtained when this Is accom-.
plished. Infants are very subject to na tulencs,
especially when their natural food IL taken
away too hastily and when food other than that
provided for them by nature Is given them.
Mothers and nurses are familiar with thi. In
fantiie trouble. and have various remedies for
Ii. the most popular Of which Is charcoal. which
relieves the trouble completely. by absorbing
the stomachic and intestinal gases. thereby
moving the colicky pains Of the infant. which
Is the symptom which most frequently causes
the nightly crying spells.
Charcoal Is marvellous absorbent. and IL
capable Of oAidIzing and absorbing one hundrea
times it's volume in gases. II is spplica-
stomach, and as IL il entirely harmless. 1t can
be taken by any one with comparative I'm
punity and without fear OF its doing any harm
whatever 10 the system.
Infants and old people can use IL as readily
as young persons and those In the prime OF life,
aud nothing but benefit result from Its use.
Ii can also be used I'm any quantity; and 10 this
respect IL differs from drugs sometimes en-
ployed for stomach troubles. the dosage Of
these must be regulated by q competent physi-
cian Not SO with charcoal. however as IL
shown by the fact that q French surgeon used
as much as fifteen ounces per day. every day Of
the last thirty years Of his lie.
