Accumulation of Gas
In The Stomach
One of The Nest Common Symptoms
Of Dyspepsia and Deranged
Digestion.

The presence of a small quantity
Of gas in the alimentary canal may
be described as constituting the ordi-
nary condition, as certain foods, such
as peas, beans, etc, naturally elmi-
nate and create gas while undergoing
digestion.
1t is only when this gas accumu-
lates to such extent as to cause H.
convenience, and .belching, that per-
son may be said to be suffering from
iatulence. This collection of gas be-
comes in extreme cases SO great that
z swelling presents itself in the pit OF
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 looS-
ened to Obviate the distress occasion
ed by pressure
Attempts are usually made to get
rid of this stomach-gas by eructation,
and immediate relief is sometimes Oh
tanned when this is accomplished. In
fants are very subject to hatulence,
especially when their natural food Is
taken away too hastily, and when
food other than that provided for
them by nature is given them. Moth
ers and nurses are familiar with this
infantile trouble, and have various
remedies for it, the most popular or
trouble completely. by absorbing the
stOmachic and intestinal gases, there
by removing the cOlicky pains of the
infant, which is the symptom which
most frequently causes the nightly
crying spells
Charcoal is a marvellous absorbent,
and is capable of OXidiZing and alb
sOrbing one hundred times its own
volume in gases. 1t is applicable to
TFn
stomach, and as it is entirely HARM
less, it can be taken, by any one,
with comparative impunity and with
out fear of its doing any harm what
ever 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
benefit can result from its use. It
can also be used in any quantity; and
in this respect IT differs from drugs
sometimes employed for stomach troll
bles, as the dosage of these must De
regulated by a competent physician.
Not so with charcoal, however, as IS
shown by the fact that French sur
geOn used as much as fifteen ounces
per day, every day of the last thir
" years of his life.
