SWALLOWING AIR.

[By Family Doctor.1

There is a very common ferm of dyspepsin in which the minin There are symptom is "wind." many people who suffer terribly from this trouble.

The commonest cause of this complaint in the swallowing of air. following the unpleasant syrapton.

It is true that in some cases the habit of air-swallowing is started off by one infection of the gall- bidder or by some disturbance of the stomach; but more frequently than not there is no dlacase pre- sent at all and the condition is purely due to habit.

The cure is merely to make up your mind not to give way to the babit. It may be very difficult to resist the desire to do so; but if you will only make the effort und murered in resisting it for a day torno you will find that the troubla will leave you.

Remember that, practically speak- ing, a gas can ever be formed in the stomach; the only gas you can being up ja that which you must have swallowed.
