INDIGESTION
Bv W. BIDDLE GILMAN, M.D.
(Continued from last week)
Frontal headache is the most likely
form of headache to accompany this
condition, but does not occur immedi
ately after a meal, usually coming on
some considerable time after eating,
for instance a dinner eaten today
may produce a headache tomorrow,
when however the gas which has form
ed in the stomach is eructaed the pa
tient most frequently experiences a
sense of relief, a condition which can
be brought about by taking about one-
half of a teaspoonful of supercarbo
nate of soda in a large cup of water
as hot as can comfortably be drank,
or the gas may pass on from the
stomach into the bowels, thereby do
ing away with the feeling of dis
comfort that was experienced while it
remained in the stomach, in fact the
feeling of pain and distension may en
tirely cease for the time being, but
unless the diet is more carefuly at
tended to you may expect a recurrence
from time to time until a more or less
chronic form asserts itself.
While the foregoing condition ex
ists there is frequently a sensation
of faintness, which in severe cases
may end in a greater or less degree
of prostration if nothing worse,some
times asmall quantity of easily di
gested nourishment in a dry form
will mitigate the symptoms, or a little
water may be employed in those cases
where there is exceeding faintness,
weakness or a tendency to collapse.
Fermentative dyspepsia is to some
extent different in its general char
acter and symptoms than the above,
in as much as it may assume several
different conditions, one of which is,
perhaps the most important of which,
that in which pain, distension and a
feeling of great fullness takes place
very soon after a meal and this is
follow’ed later by sickness at the
stomach and more or less frothy and
fermentative liquid matter is vomited,
this matter is sour smelling and dis
tinctly acid both in odor and taste
and leaves considerable froth upon the
>surlace, having a resemblance to
yeast having with it most frequently
a certain amount of carbonic acid,
leaving an unpleasant burning feel
ing in the mouth and throat.
This form of “indigestion” appears
to be the most common of all, though
it does not follow that each sufferer of
this complaint should experience it in
the same degree of severity, with some
it only makes its existence known
when they have partaken of some par
ticular article of diet or of some com
binations of food which will not pro
perly digest with them, or such which
upon the avoidance of which seems to
depend theirimmunity from attacks.
Wih others it seems to have_ a
periodicity, seems to and actually does
put in its appearance at regular in
tervals, and this I find to be partic
ularly so with those who are suf
fering from some abnormal condition
of the liver, or are of well marked bil-
lious temperament, or who may have
been unfortunate enough to have ac
quired malaria, I have one patient
whom I had the opportunity of watch
ing carefully for years, who remain
ed entirely free from these attacks
except when she drank coffee contin
uously for several days, and who at
one time abstained from coffee for
three years and over, and during
which time she did not have a single
attack, but upon returning to her cof
fee the attacks soon returned as well.

THE SONG OF THE HANDSAW
AND THE MUSIC OF THE HAMMER
Will be the chorus heard in the neighborhood of Southern
Pines and Knollwood this summer.
The club house at the Mid-Pines club, possibly the homes of
some of the early lot buyers at Knolwood and above the club
grounds, will be the inciting motive at that end. On the hill
in Southern Pines Mrs. Packard has begun a house eighty feet
long, Mrs. Atwood is about to begin another one of liberal size,
and the lumber is going on the ground for Mrs. DulFs big house
that will be a hundred feet on the main dimension. Donald
Herring is soon to start, and the Smith house will be commenced
before long. Others of not quite such magnitude are sched
uled, and it is whispered that the Lewis purchase means a building
of prominence.
You know what that is going to do with the land between the
two pointss
Edgemoore has a number of fine building sites that have not
yet been taken. The prices of this land is still ACRE prices, or
it is on that which has not been sold. What has been bought the
buyers seem to think is worth more money.
Some of the nicest ridge locations in the county.
Close to two stations,
Two postoffices,
Two golf clubs.
The hunt club,
On the Capitol Highway and the Seaboard Main Line.
Have you ever seen anything to equal it?
