The stomach, like all the other or
gans of the body, is subject not only
to various forms of organic trouble,
but also to many kinds Of functional
disorder, or neurosis.
In these nervous disturbances of the
stomach pain may be just as severe
and the list of symptoms just as long
and as trying as In true organic dis
ease, and 1t is often impossible to con-
vince the victim that he is not suffer
Ing from some terrible local disorder
calling for immediate operation
The stomach is usually a somewhat
abused organ. 1t works hard, general
ly overtime, and often at tasks ex-
tremely distasteful to It, Small won
der, then, that 1t sometimes goes on
strike
When it decides to do this, the weap-
ons it controls with which to boycott
and intimidate the rest of the sys-
tenn are most efficient. In times of
normal health we are no more con-
scious of the tremendous commotion
and toll going on in the stomach than
the passengers on sunny deck are
conscious of the trials of the engine
room below them; but when the stom-
ach has stood all it is going to for the
present, it telephones the brain to that
effect, with the immediate result that
the whole consciousness is flooded with
the misery resulting from its rebellion.
The visible signs of this rebellion
are myriad. Among the most usual of
them may be mentioned nausea and
vomiting, eructations that are some
times so acid that the very throat is
scalded, disagreeable sensations after
eating, that range from discomfort to
agony; and naturally in time a gen
eral rundown condition" OF the sys-
tenn.
When it can be proved that this
state of affairs is traceable to abuse of
the stomach, the treatment becomes a
comparatively simple matter; but in
many cases of so-called nervous dys-
pepsia" the trouble will be found to
be fault of the nervous system, the
stomach itself showing no sign of dis
ease, but simply suffering from faulty
nervous control, just as any other or
gan of the body may. This diagnosis,
however, will be of little comfort to
the patient so long as his stomach is
made the vicarious culprit for the
guilty nervous system.
When the trouble arises from causes
that can be easily controlled, such as
improper food, hasty eating. irregular
meals, insufficient mastication, the
sure lies largely in the hands of the
patient himself
