explain pain IN the abdomen Is q
very bad guess made by the patient
and acquiesced in by the doctor for
the sake OF conyepience or to gain
time. Gas. whether swallowed or
developed from fermentation, never
causes pain. Conditions, functional
and organic, in the stomach or else
where, which cause the gas may also
cause burning or pain.
"An acid stomach" is make-be-
lieve diagnosis designed to cover
both horns Of dilemma. If the nor
NAL hydrochloric acid Of digestion
is secreted in excess, as it often Is
in ulcer cases and others, that is
one thing; if food ferments, as it
often does in obstruction from can
GER, ulcer, ptosis, dilatation Of the
stomach, and other conditions out
side OF the stomach, butyric, Tactic
and acetic acids are produced, and
that is a very different thing. What
would be good for one kind Of acidity
would be likely to add fuel to the
fire of the other.
Names in the art of medicine are
treacherou5 things, especially SO in
cases of supposed stomach trouble"
If test meals and chemical analyses
were more popular in diagnosis the
stomach would be spared a lot of
abuse. At any rate much good medi-
cine would be saved.

Coming Back

tOfllUk DdCk
The man who can't come back
never had much of an excuse for
coming in the first place.
The fellow who can't get up after
the first few knockdowns wasn't
worth knocking down.
Some people seem to think when
they are handed a stiff uppercut in
business or some other way, that
1t Is their duty to lie there and
wait till the world comes around and
apologies for the wallop.
It's q good, long wait-believe us!
You never get any apology from
the world unless you go out and cut
a good, heavy elm club. hit the world
a swat over the ibex, take 1t by the
throat and compel it to take 1t all
back and promise to be good.
The world never sees a man who is
lying on his spinal column waiting
for voluntary reparation.
Some people have personal grief
and proceed to feature 1t.
That is almost as bad from the
standpoint Of mental and physical
health as it is bad In tasre.
1t is an insult to a living world
and does no good to the dead to send
up rockets in the face Of live humans
proclaiming your own selfish sorrow.
Live people not only expect but
really need. all the attention you can
spare from yourself.
SO the human being who is Of the
slightest Importance should bestir
himself and impersonate a good, live
rubber ball-spend as little time as
possible on the ground, and bounce
just that much higher when thrown
down harder.
