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 de-
scrtbed as constituting the ordinary con-
ditiOn. as certain foods. such as meas.
beans. &C, naturally eliminate and Gre
ate gas While undergoing digestion
II is only when this gas accumulates
70 such an extent as 10 cause incOnven-
fence, and belching that a person may
be said 10 be suffering from natulence.
IhlS collection or 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-gas by eTuCtatlon. and
immediate relief IS sometimes obtained
when this is accomplished. Infants are
very subject 10 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. Mothers and nurses are
familiar with this infantile trouble, and

popular Of which is charcoal. which re-
ueves the trouble completely. by absorb

thereby removing the COlicly pains OF the
infant, which is the symptom which most

spells

taken. by any one, with comparative i'm
puntty and without fear Of its doing any
harm whatever to the system.
Infants and old people can use IL as
readily as young persons and those in

be used in any quantity; and I'm this re-

dosage Of these must be regulated by a
competent physician. Not so with char
