Excerpt from Index Raisonn??? to the New Materia Medica Butyric-acid causes the eructation or vomiting of a nauseous acrid or rancid-smelling volatile acid. Oxalic-acid causes a peculiar form of indigestion, attended with great melancholy. Muriatic-acid is most common in those who eat much meat; Lac tic and acetic-acids in those who prefer vegetable food. Mere mechanical irritation of the inner surface of the stomach will excite the secretion of gastric juice; the irritation of chronic gastri tis, or simple ulcer, or cancer, will do the same; also the irritation from the presence of some hard or indigestible substance, or reflex nervous irritation; a deficiency of gastric juice Will allow acetous fermentation to arise in the food; unhealthy gastric juice will permit the same; obstruction of the pylorus, or feeble action of the muscular coat of the stomach by which the food is detained too long in the gastric cavity, will be followed by the same effect; as also a catarrhal state of the stomach in which gastric juice is poured out sparingly, and unhealthy mucus secreted, which rapidly decomposes and acts as a ferment.
