The c1111) physician then talked to him, pOlllllflg out that 1t was not gas from indigestion that vras causing his stomach but air that. he swallowed due to

1111s nervousness; that fennenta- itiou of food in the stomach was

; really uncommon.

Iii Handbook of Therapy, (Oliver and Fislibeln), published by The American Association, individuals ivho think that. it 1s the fermenta- ‘Jou of food that causes belching are zttlvized not to try to stop hhe belching of gas (a certain amount of which is normal) by the use of strong antlscptlcs.

‘In the majority 01f eases the gas present 1n tlie stomach (gas with- out odor) consists of swallowed air. Air swallowing 1s a frequent 01111.2(- of symptoms.“ The treat- ment consists in explanation to the patient. of the true cause of his simpitiins, and, in severe cases, giving of mild medicines to _ . tlie nerves. As a rule, even iii cases in which distress 1s pro- tlllCtKl by gas or belching, there is no fermentation in the stomach. The acid present 1n the flmlach contents is seldom the result of frrmcti on but 1s produced by the manufacture of too much stomach digestive julce.

Ifmvrvcr when the symptoms are due to nervousness and the swal- lnlviiig of air. but. to ordinary stomach indigestion; the proper diet should prevent distress. "Gen-
