Nervous Indigestion

TIME Chinese believe the seat Of the soul
l. TO be the stomach. The ancents re-
garded the bowels as the seat of the emo
tions The old Greeks called man who
was depressed a hypochondriac ODelow the
ribs) we say he is down in the mouth"
because the angles Of his mouth are drawn
down, instead of up as in smiling or
laughing There is really good basis for
the ancient notions referred to. The or
gans Of the abdomen are much more closely
associated with mental states than we ap-
preciate.
We do not think with the stomach nor
feel with the ntestines, but the state OF
the stomach and bowels influences our
thoughts and our emotions TO a striking
degree The region OF the stomach Is the
seat Of the solar plexus, that great abdom-
inal brain which exercises controlling in
fuence over all the functions Of digestion,
blood circulation, eliminatlon-all the au-
tomato processes Of animal life. The great
sympathetic chain OF ganglia is the center
OF the organic life Of the body.
Through the close association Of the solar
plexus and the brain there is an intimate
connection between digestion and mental

action. Nausea and even vomiting may be
produced by purely mental Impressions, In
like manner, disturbed digestion may react
upon the mental state unfavorably.
The after-dinner drowsiness, nervousness
ana depression are to large extent de-
pendent upon the relation of the abdominal
blood-supply to that Of the brain. The large
vessels which supply the stomach, intes-
tines and other abdominal organs are to-
gether known as the "splanchnic vessels f"
These great vessels have twice the capacItv
or those OF the muscles, and so per cent
more than the vessels of the skin, and are
capable when dstended of holding all the
blood in the body After a meal they he
come distended with blood as the result
OF the normal congestion attending di-
gestion. Through lack of proper nervous
regulation, the vessels of the various or
gans OF digestion are, in the neurasthenic
person, widely dlated, so that these organs
are overflled with blood. The effect is 10
rob the brain of blood during the early part
Of the digestive process.
This fact explains the mental confusion.
inefficiency, drowsiness and sometimes faint
ness that follow a meal in cases OF gastric
neurasthenia.
Many gastric neurasthencs suffer from
hyperacidity, due TO excessive secretion of
gastric acid. With this condition is usually
associated an excessive secretion of fluid
as the result of which an abnormal amount
OF fluid is withdrawn from the blood which
still further decreases the supply OF blood
TO the brain, and intensfes the nervous
symptoms.
