Flatulence is due to the presence of
gas in the stomach and intestines,
(which often rolls about, producing bor-
borygmi, or rumbling noises in the in
testinal system, and causes the victim
Of his trouble considerable enbarass-
ment, when such noises occur while In
z company.
an analysis of gas from the stomach
shows that 1t consists to a great extent
sof nitrogen md carbonic acid. 1t is
u therefore probable that some of the
gas in the stomach consists simply of
air which has been swallowed, although
for the most part the source of fiatu-
lence is the gas given off from the food
In the abnormal processes Of decom-
position.
In cases of chronic gastric catarrh,
Ethe secretion of gastric juice in the
K stomach is deficient, the food is d.
gested slowly. and fermentation oc-
s5curs with the evolution of gas.
Swallowed air. however. plays a more
important part in causing flatulence or
gas in the stomach and intestines than
is generally supposed, and while food

air into the stomach with 1t, fluids, es-
pecially those of a tenacious character.
such as pea soup, appear to carry down
q great deal.
Flatulent distension of the intestines
3 occurs when a large amount of gas or
air, either swallowed or evolved from
the decomposition of food, escapes from
1.-The stomach into the intestines through
the py~lorus. The enormous distension
OF the intestines and dilatation of the
stomach with gases. and the rapidity
with which such fatulence occurs. has
4 long been a puzzle to medical men, and
has led some to think that the only
possible explanation thereof is a ranid
evolution of gas from the blood.
In the treatment of gas IN the stom-
zach and intestines, charcoal is consid-
cred by most physicians as the leading
n most effective remedy. Carmina-
tives, or medicines, such as pepper
mint ~cardamom. sodium bicarb, etc.
which expel the gas from the stomach
in large volumes through the mouth
are. resorted to by some people, but
their use is disagreeable. and the fire.
