Stomach Troubles

iHEY RANGE MINOR FUNCTIONAL DIS
ORDERS TO SERIOUS Dl SEA n!
AN ILL-TREATED ORGAN = CAUSES
AND SYMPTOMS OF SOME DISEASES
OF THE STOMACH
(By DR.. Wilbert Shallenberger)
Constantly mistreated as the stomach 10.
disorders and diseases Of this organ are num-
erous and varied and few people escape them.
1t has been said that IS per cent Of all d.
seases originate in the stomach. Probably
this 10 approximately true. The continued
abuse of the stomach will cause a strain on
its functional powers. producing chronic ston,-
ach trouble and other complications.
Dispepsia is very common form Of ston,-
ach in which its functions are disturbed Of
u functional nature, great error has been made
by some in regarding it always as disease
of disability. Usually. i is dependent on ir-
nr7ntity of food taken or both. Overlooking
.ie stomach. stale vegetables or meats, unripe
fruit, irregular meals, improper prepared
food. eating too frequently or too rapidly. in
swallowing the food, drinking extremely hot
or extremely cold beverages. are among the
frequent practices that contribute to stomach
arrangement. Some of these practices are
fixed habits with a large percentage of our
population, both urban and rural. Moreover.
mental or physical strain from over-exertion
quite often is contributing cause.
Among the usual symptoms of dyspepsia are
a coated tongue. offensive breath. acidity. fiat
ulency. unpleasant excavations and sick head.
ache. Rational treatment will combat the
cause. put the patient on diet easy of d.
gestion, and by proper remedies strengthen
e system in every practicable manner. OF
course, different treatment is required when
the disease is connected with an infiammatory
condition of the mucous lining of the stomach.
Gastritis or Inflammation of the stomach is
another disease of that organ frequently found
by the specialist whose extensive practice
covers wide field. There are two distinct
forms-acute and chronic Acute gastritis
generally occurs as a result of other diseases.
Early symptoms are burning sensation with
nausea and vomiting. In some instances,
there is hiccough and intense thirst.
a Chronic gastritis or gastric catarrh is the
nore common form. One of its most strik-
hg symptoms is an irregular appetite. This
voracious at times; at others, the mere
sight of food will cause sensation of weight
Ind heaviness at the pit of the stomach. The
sufferer frequently becomes melancholy and
emaciated. Common causes are great mental
excitement excessive eating and drinking, and
the use of alcoholic liquors. In the treatment
all medicines with a tendency to irritate the
stomach must be avoided. The desire for
drink in this arrangement is just as capri
cious as that for food.
What is gastralgia? 1t is neuralgia of the
stomach. There is no Inflammation. The
characteristic color of the tongue is white.
There is little. if any. desire for liquids. In

Pyrosis consists of hot sensation in the
stomach. with eractatons of an acrid. burn

ton in the parts over which it passes. The
word literally means II burn" When the
disease is functional, attention to diet and the
use of bitter absorbents will afford relief.
Occasionally however, this aff1iction is symp.
tomato of organic disease of the stomach.
The stomach was assigned by nature to .
very important function in the process of di-
gestion. Yet. it has been called the most
abused organ of the human body. This accu-
sation is by no means groundless. No wonder
then. that stomach troubles and digestive

Modern scientific treatment. following accur-

she turned to the defense of many
old-fashioned ideas about loyalty
and trust.
Just consider how fleeing is
mans interest in his vagrant ro-
mances," she said to me in our first
talk the afternoon after Chrys and
Jordan had set out on their honey
moon. "Monogamy is a grand in
stitution."
l concluded that Ann had been
wondering how she ever could have
brought the Lorimer name so close
to some ugly scandals.
Il wish l had a child" she con-
tinued. l stared as the ingenue
wife went on:
The normal life-that's the only
way to happiness. Follow nature,
and you'll be all right. Depart from
nature, and a married woman is
bound to be perfectly vwretched,
sooner or later. Then 1 guess she
makes everybody else w~retched,
too"

she came into the family. She had
found her place among us at last.
She had been doing a good deal of
reading while nursing Jim back to
health. She concluded our talk with
of her half-thought-out ideas:
"Monogamy is the ideal state for
a man and a who love each
other, now, isn't it?"
l agreed very gravely. Ann went
on:
Jane, do you know, some quite
intellectual persons lately are COM
ing to the defense of monogamy?"

The next morning when l was

speak to me on the phone l answer

sire to make a chump of myself for
the second time.
Today she was not delivering a
message from Dot.
Hello, Tom" she began. II just
wanted to remind you of u en-

look your handsomest; you know
you are taking me to the theatre"
L made some foolish reply and
asked her what she wanted. / could
not believe she had called up merely
to say that.
Il wanted to find out If it were
possible to get you to answer the
telephone. You're such a fearfully
busy mani l mustn't take up any
more of your time. G~ood-by." She
rang off.
This annoyed me considerably.
The two stenographers looked at me
with interest: they are always Curl

even more curious If they could

That evening, as we were dressing
to go out, Dorothy said to me:
They're a funny couple"
"Who?" But l knew whom she
meant.
Edith and George"
whats the latest?"
Edith was telling me today about
their wedding. 1t was a very quiet
one-just a few people there. After
tie ceremony they went to the Bilt-
more for luncheon; they were going
South and their train didn't leave
until 4 o'clock.

"Well, Edith was tremendously

I gave a short laugh. "They'r,

No. but they get along bette

Ann Gets II Straight

Before Chrys became Mrs. Jordan
spence, she communicated with the
trustees of Certeis' fortune, intend
ing to refuse to accept 1t. She dis
covered that a claimant for it had
appeared. Certeis had a son, born
in Europe, a son who had no legal
rights under the laws of inheritance.
But the young mar is DR.. Ger
tets cLild--his documents prove it,"
said Chrys. HE has been expen-
sively educated, but not otherwise
provided for. And as 1 am a femin-
istS I am going to make people see
that children born out of wedlock
have rights .as human beings, rights
which the fathers seldom respect
Chrys accepted the portion of Ger
teis' fortune which was not entailed,
and then Immediately transferred
the property to the famous spy's I'M
recognized son.
There was a simple wedding in
the Lorimer mansion. To it came
Ann and Jim Lorimer.
The bebe, Ann, had improved but
not because ChryS and l had tried
to be our sister-in-law's keeper with
any degree of success
Ann herself had finally begun to
cultivate the little seed of fineness
in her own nature. 1 suppose it is
never too late for an individual to
develop that. AS soon as Ann de-
serted the frivolous, freaky set
which so long had taken her away
from Jimmy, as soon as she under
took the duties neal at hand, she
became a really delightful little
woman.
