When they do so they surprise their
| owner beyond degree. He is ordinarily
aware when he Is going to belch, be-
cause there Is a distinct effort on his
part to start something first. Not so,
food.
In discussing aerophogy, DR.. c. D.
Aaron, Of Detroit, puts the matter thus:
The victim remembers the great re-
lief produced by belching. When he
feels nervous, weighty, pressed upon,
distended. or painful. he belches."
The effort required makes you. with
out being aware of 1t, swallow air and
without too long delay, 1t Is allowed
or forced to come back into the mouth
quickly after each expulsive pressure in
the stomach.
Self-conscious, nervous, anxious per-
sons and those restricted by habits.
prejudices. and faulty education. are
given to air swallowing. Tobacco chew
distempers are decidedly less likely to
be air-swallowers than sleepless, ner-
vous. gluttonous persons.
Most of those who over-eat. who suf-
Ter mental or nervous exhaustion, or
who are easily frightened. are air
swallowers. Curious to tell. all who are
will Indignantly deny It, and resent the
imputation.
Instead of "cherchez Ia femme"
search yourself. and ten chances to one
you find that you are one of the stand
ing army of voluntary belchers.
Many alleged examples of ,.indiges-
tion," heart burn and the like. are
actually nothing but the habit OF belch-
ing the swallowed air. Until the alert
doctor proves this to you. you will scoff
at the notion. or be greatly disappoint-
ed that you lack a real gastric disease.
One Of the tests of this vicious and i'm
polite. II not vulgar habit of belching. is
to be able at your own sweet will. to
spout forth air. Another test is to try
tn belch with the mouth wide open.
While the mouth Is open. no air can be
swallowed and the belching ceases Thus
IL Is proved that instead of emptying
the stomach Of gas, the victim has been
literally pumping it up as you do an
automobile tire.
