Gases form and cause all sorts of agony. The stomach demands more pepsin, hydro chloric acid and other digestive agents w hich it is unable to secrete. Medicines are not only worthless tn cases of this kind, but are actually in jurious to the -..b01e system. It Is sheer lunacy to pour a lot of vile stuff into the stomach -drugs that have no digestive power whatever.
