INDIGESTION
By W. Biddle Gilman, M.
The second cause of Atnic Dyspep
sia is due to influence effecting the
cerebro spinal nervous system, result
ing in the greater or less exhaustion
of that portion of our anatomy, these
influences are close and continous
study without suffient exercise, more
especially in the open air, excessive
grief, great anxiety, mental excite
ment and distress and exhaustive
physical or mental fatigue.
In case of close and continuous men
tal application to study, especially for
an object difficult to obtain, when un
due fears are entertained as to the re
sult, in case of great mental anxiety
in business matters, or even in a hard
and dubious struggle in the attain
ment of a living^ more particularity
in certain literary pursuits, all of
the symptoms and conditions are very
similar and as the whole physical or
ganism sympathizes with the mental
more or less stamped is plainly to be
seen in the following- marked manner:
The face assumes a haggard and care
worn expression, the eye is more or
less, sunken, with contracted pupil
and the manner is restless in a great
degree, not only shifting the body
from one position to another almost
continuously, but the hands, feet and
head are included in the general rest
lessness, in some cases, though some
what rare, even the muscles of the
mouth, eys and nose, in fact most of
the facial muscles are under the same
influence; persons so affected usually
suffer very much with frontal head
ache accompanied with roaring in the
ears and much giddiness, their slum
bers are usually disturbed,very much
by unpleasant dreams and pass many
restless nights, obtaining very little
sleep, it being of short duration and
very easily broken, the pulse is sharp
irritable and at times irregular, the
bowles are generally quite changeable
sometimes loose approximating di
arrhea and at times exceedingly con-
sipated, the tongue is white coated,
flabby and tooth marked on the edges,
with enlarged papillas, then is a fre
quent feeling of sickness at the stom
ach and sometimes vomiting of un
digested food taken, perhaps, manj
hours, and even at times days pre
viously, throbbing sensations, due to
the pneumogastric nerve may be pres
ent, the stomach and abdomen being
the parts affected thus. The same
sensation may also affect other por
tions of the body, there is also a sen
sation of weight in the stomach with
distension and distress, as if of a
great mass of undigested food, even if
the patient has eaten but little, the
appetite is generally poor, frequently
for a period of time be entirely ab
sent, upon passage of food through
the pylorus into the duodenum or sec
ond stomach severe spasmodic pain or
cramp may result.
As stated above, food may remain
undigested in the stomach many
hours, and there have been cases in
which it has been retained for days
tl^e gastric juices not being of a
quality to dissolve or digest the sub
stances thus retained, consequently
fermentation takes place with the re
sultant heartburn, pain and flatulance,
this condition is more likely to occur
when an excess of fod is taken, more
especially when sugar is taken as a
part of the meal, and is almost cer
tain to occur if fruit and sugar are
combined, by that I mean cane sugar,
not the sugar In the fruit, as for in
stance in the banana which is whole
some.

The
Wins
Last week the first peaches went out from Southern Pines. They were
Mayflowers, and they brought six dollar a crate. This at the rate of twenty-
five cents a quart, and it is a whaling good price.
Some of the big- orchards have sold their crop at three dollars a crate on
the station platform. This leavs a big margin of profit.
It is estimated that the crop this year will bring the Sandhills a million
dollars, and there is now very little doubt as to the product and the money.
While every other place is grieving over ruined crops through the spring
frosts Moor County Sandhills are reveling in a crop that has never been
approximated.
Th result will be another big expansion of orchards, for the one main
feature is settled forever. When peaches are made any place on the con
tinent they will be made in the Southern Pines belt, and when they bring
any price the Southern Pines peach will be in the list of toppers.
The Peach Wins
The Moore County peach sits at the head of the table as us|ial.
The Edgemoore Heights peach locations are among the best in the
world.
