Gastric
Your stomach is an organ between your esophagus and small intestine. It is where digestion of protein begins. The stomach has three tasks. It stores swallowed food. It mixes the food with stomach acids. Then it sends the mixture on to the small intestine.
Most people have a problem with their stomach at one time or another. Indigestion and heartburn are common problems. You can relieve some stomach problems with over-the-counter medicines and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding fatty foods or eating more slowly. Other problems like peptic ulcers or GERD require medical attention.
You should see a doctor if you have any of the following:
- Blood when you have a bowel movement
- Severe abdominal pain
- Heartburn not relieved by antacids
- Unintended weight loss
- Ongoing vomiting or diarrhea

ALKAL-ANTISEPTINE
A pleasantly aromatic liquid having an alkaline reaction and serving as an efficient antiseptic and germicide although not pois onous to the human subject. It differs from Antiseptine, q. v. in that it contains glycerin and is distinctly alkaline. Its chief active constituents are Thymol, Eucalyptol, Menthol, Sodium Borate and Sodium Benzoate. Internally it may be given in teaspoonful doses as a gastric and intestinal antiseptic with antacid properties, but it is much more commonly used locally 2

CAMPHOR MONOBROMATED
This compound of camphor possesses properties quite distinct from those of camphor itself. It is used chiefly as an antispasmodic in epilepsy, chorea and paralysis agitans and as a calmative agent generally, but its usefulness is limited owing to liability to produce gastric disturbance. Dose. 0.06 to 0.3 Grm. (1 to 5 grs.).2

CERIUM OXALATE
The most efficient remedy we have for vomiting depending on pregnancy or uterine irritation. Has been used in sea-sickness and in cholera with good results. Does not replace Bismuth in relieving gastric irritation. Dose, 0.06 to 0.3 or o.o'Grm. (1 to 5 or 10 grs.).2

IODOSYL
An organic chemical compound containing a little more than 655 of Iodine; empirical formula, C7H4O3I2. An amorphous powder, non toxic and free from irritant action, yet having antiseptic properties that make it invaluable in surgery. It may be used wherever iodo form is now employed with effects at least equally satisfactory. The results obtained with it in treating ulcerations of the cornea are par ticularly gratifying. It may be given internally as a gastric anti septic, in doses of 0.03 to 0.2

ACIDITY OF STOMACH
If due to fermentation, use antacids as palliatives to relieve im mediate distress, but prescribe also gastric antiseptics. Avoid indigestible food, particularly lats. If acidity is irom hyper-secretion, the remedies are antacids and henbane, for its inhibitive action on the secretions. In chronic gastric catarrh, bismuth. silver nitrate, antacids combined with salines. In all severe cases. lavage is the most useful treatment.2
