The Formation
OF Stomach Gases
Many Different Causes Are Concerned
in Gaseous Accumulation in
the Stomach,
a Trial Package Of Stuart S Charcoal
Lozenges Sent Free.

In cases of chronic gastric catarrh
the secretion of digestive juices in the
stomach is deficient; the food is dI
gested slowly. the secretion is not
normal; and fermentation occurs with
the evolution Of much gas.
1t is evident, however, that A CON
siderable time is required 10 allow gas
10 be formed in any large quantity in
the stomach, and therefore, fatulence
from this cause Is not likely 10 occur
until some time after food has been
eaten. If the pylorus, or opening from
the stomach into the intcstiues does
not close. properly. gas may pass from
the duodenum into the stomach, and
distend 1T, and such disteusion may
occur at any time of the day or nicht,
and is not entirely dependent upon
the decomposition of food in he ston.
acb. although this may be a prominent
cause IN many cases.
There is still another cause of ex-
cesslve hatulence, and that is the
swallowing of air. There is no doubt
about air being carried down into the
stomach by the food eaten; but it is
also known that liquids force much
greater quantity Of air into the ali
mentary tract than foods do
STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENG ES
were especially designed for tho relief
and cure of stomach and Intestinal
gas-formation and accumuls ton. no
matter what the cause may be. Over
4 century ago physicians discovered
that charcoal possessed wonderful
powers OF absorption, not found in any
other remedial agent. Charcoal is def
1itely known TO lessen and cure hatu.
lence by oxidizing and absorbing the
excess of gas from the stomach; but.
In addition To that property, IL also
acts as mocha uical stimulapt and
cleanser re the stomach and intestinal
walls, ana it excrts a purifying and
antiseptic effect on the allmentarv Gu
nal. which is similar 10 the action of
tooth powder in the mouth
Stuart s Charcoal Lozcnges are high
" recommended by sll sufferers from
iiatulence or gas in the stomach and
other parts of the alimeDtary tract. as
the one remedy which has given com
plete relief from all such disaprecablc
symptoms. Many persons who had
been using various other remedies
without relief. have given these power
