Bread and DNspepsia.

The conclusion that wheat bread Is
unfit for dyspcptcs. sometimes jump
cd at because i'm effects are noticed to
follow its use. Is erroneous. On the
contrary. It has been pointed out by
Bouchard and others that farinaceous
food IS peculiarly adapted to some dys.
peptic patients. 1t is the microbes in
the starch which are capable of pro.
ducing irritating acids that cause the
trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec
ommends that only he crust or toast
ed crumbs of the bread be used by
dyspeptics. particularly those whose
stomachs are dilatcd. The reason Of
this is explained by the fact that bak-
ing temporarily. though not perma.
nently, arrests the fermentation OF
dough. When II is again heated by
the warmth of the stomach the fer.
mcntation Is renewed. In cases where
the bread Is toasted brown through
