ferers from Dyspepsia.
The stomach and intestines always con-
tain, even in health. a small amount of
gases They seem, both from a chemical
and mechanical point of view, to be es-
sential, to some extent at least, to good
digestion. A great deal of common air
is swallowed with the food, and the re-
markable facility with which air bubbles
are formed in the saliva is referable to
this special purpose
1t follows that oxygen and nitrogen are
natural to the stomach, and 1t has been
ascertained that nitrogen is greatly in
excess of oxygen, showing that even in
the stomach this gas is some way en-
ployed in the vital processes But as
gases are easily evolved by fermentation
and decomposition of food in the stom-
ach and intestines, and as saccharine and
other fermentable matters dissolve in
liquids are present in the gastro-intestin-
al tube, 1t results that its aeroform con-
tents are much more complex than is
generally supposed.
When digestion is perfectly healthy
there can be no fermentation and f1atu-
lence, but as soon as Indigestion occurs
carbonic acid gas and various other
gases are freely formed in the stomach
and bowels, causing much discomfort.
The remedies employed for the cure of
flatulence may be classified as follows
Those which prevent fermentation; those
which favor the expulsion of gas and
those which oxidize and absorb gases. OF
the remedies which possess the above
properties, charcoal is the only one
which has the power of preventing fer
mentation and decomposition of food, and
at the same time absorbing all excess
gases in the alimentary channeh
Medicines which expel gases from the
stomach, known as carminatives, are not
to be compared with remedy which alb
serbs the gases and prevents eructations
or belching. STUART'S CHARCOAL

A most unusual condition prevails at
the Jacksonville State Normal school, ac-
cording to President C. w. Daugette. who
has just returned from Birmingham,
where he attended an executive meeting
of the Southern Educational association,
IN that there are 10 more male students
matricGct ted at that school than there
are females.
President DaugSttc says that as a rule
in normal schools the female enrolment
is about 10 per cent to % per cent male,
and the reversal of this state of affairs.
he says, brings about one of the most
unusual conditions found in the entire
country, particularly in Alabama 1t is
accounted for in part by the fact that
the pedagogical profession in Alabama
has become a more dignified calling and
that the people of the state are paying
more for their educational services.
A great deal of new equipment has
been purchased for the normal with the
$1,000 fund donated by the Peabody board
and this will be installed at an early
date.
Capt. r. f. Kob, candidate for COM
missioner of agriculture and president
of the Shinbone Valley Mine and Timber
company, was in Admission today He
says that the surveys for the big projects
mapped out by this company have all
been completed and the construction OF
the 25-mile standard gauge railway line
will begin within a few Gays. Captain
Kolb says that he has frequently been
asked why he named this company Shin
bone" and he accounts for it by the fact
that the company's operations will be
located chiefly In Shfnpone valley, so
named in compliment to a great Chero-

now inferred in that valley.
