Cold and Tobacco Smoking.

of observations made 011 twelve soldiers
in a military hospital, who were perfectly
healthy with the exception of slight: in-
juries, with the object of determining
the effect of cold applications to the
cpigastrium upon the rapidity of dich-
tion. The stomach tube was of course
freely as -d. and the completion of diges—
tion was taken to be marked by the dis-
appearance of solid particles in the gastric
contents, as revealed by drawing them
up through the tube. The author found
that when ice bladders were applied next
the skin over the region of the stomach,
digestion was retarded in nine out of
_ the twalve cases. Six of the men were
‘ smokers and six non-smokers. In the
former the time required for digestion
averaged seven hours. while in the (ta-c
