Acidity of the Stomach - Victorian Health and Medicine
From 'The Dictionary of Daily Wants' - 1858-1859
ACIDITY OF THE STOMACH is chiefly characterized by sour eructations, and.
is a sure symptom of a weak or deranged digestion.
Small doses of carbonate of soda or sal volatile, with extract of gentian
added, should be taken three or four times daily.
At the same time the bowels should be kept regular, all gross and oily
food should b& avoided, and as much exercise as is compatible with strength should be
taken daily in the open air.
