Page 169 - The mixture of soda, bismuth, and calcimba is in use for such indigestion, with good results. The dietary in such a case should consist of the blandest food, milk with or without baked flour in it, beef tea with baked flour; nothing more till an improved condition of the tongue tells of a more normal condition of the stomach. In such cases a plain opium pill at bedtime often soothes the stomach very nicely. Then there are cases where imperfect digestion is accompanied by the production of fatty acids,...
Page 167 - Then, again, in order to aid the defective action upon starch by the natural diastase being deficient in quantity or impaired in power we add the artificial diastase "maltine." But, as Dr. Roberts points out, in order to make this ferment operative it must not be taken after a meal is over. Rather it should be added to the various forms of milk porridge or puddings before they are taken into the mouth. About this there exists no difficulty. Maltine is a molasses-like matter, and mixes readily with...
