Accumulation of Gas
in the Stomach
One of the Most 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 ordinary condition, as
certain foods, such as peas, beans, ETC.,
naturally eliminate and create gas while
undergoing digestion.
It is only when this gas accumuIates to
such extent as to cause inconvenience,
and beiching, that a person may be said
TO be suffering from flatulence. This col
lection of gas becomes in extreme cases
so great that a swelling presents itself
in the pit of the stomach; and when this
stage is reached complaint is made that
TINS part feels tender to the touch the
clothes Of the person being loosened to
obviate the distress Occasioned by pres
sure.
Attempts are usually made to get rid of
this stomach-gas by eructation, and i'm
mediate relief is sometimes obtained when
this is accomplished. Infants are very
subject to flatulence. especially when
their natural food is taken away too has
tily, and when food other than that pro-
vided for them by nature is given them.
Mothers and nurses are familiar with this
ntanUle trouble, and have various rem
edies for it, the most popular of which is
charcoal, which relieves the trouble COM
pletely by absorbing gases, thereby re-
moving the colicky pains of the infant,
which is the symptom which most fire.

is capable Of oxidizing and absorbing one
hundred times its own volume in gases.
IL is applicable to all cases of flatulence
or gas in the stomach, and as 1t is en-
t1rely harmless, ii can be taken, by any
one, with comparative impunity and with
out 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 benefit can
result from its use. 1t can also be used
in any quantity; and in this respect it diff
fers from drugs sometimes employed for
stomach troubles, as the dosage of these
must be regulated by a competent physi-
cian- Not so with charcoal, however, as
is shown by the fact that a French sur
geon used as much as fifteen ounces per
day, every day Of the last thirty years
of his life.
