The Digestive System
In spite OF the name, there is
usually nothing very seriously
wrong with the process Of diges-
ton. The digestive system, like
most parts of the body, is able to
do fairly good work in spite often
Of quite severe organic disablli-
ties. Thus, although many people
have gallstones, they still are able
to digest their food even if occa-
sionally they have attacks which
interrupt the food intake entirely.
The nervous patient who gets
the idea in his head that indiges-
ton means that he is not digesting
his food thereby simply makes the
condition worse. He has some dis
agreeable symptoms but digestion
goes on just the same.
.AeSIg the most frequent % 10
disagreeable symptoms is gas
not pleasant, of course, but not
necessarily serious. There is al
ways some gas in the stomach as
can be seen by x-ray, and some gas
in the intestines. Contrary to the
general belief, this gas is not
caused by fermentation Of food.

ed on himself and found that he
got rid Of about one quart Of gas
