WW "Wl
Chronic gastritis Is a common
disorder. It is a chronic inflam
matory and congestive condition
of the mucous membrane lining
the stomach with a breaking down
of the secreting glands and thick
ening of the membrane lining of
the stomach walls. Digestion is
imperfect, and the taking of food
is more or less promptly followed
by greater or less distress.
Chronic gastrltld is nearly ill
ways an advanced stage or- the
result of oft-repeated attacks of
acute gastritis. Dietary indiscre
tions are nearly always part of
the history. Excessive use of hot
nrcads, hot cakes, pie, too much
tea and coffee, etc.
One of the early symptoms Is
an excessive activity of the acld
sccreting stands of the stom
ach. Therefore, a chronic over
acidity of the stomach contents
is a warning sicnal of approach
ing chronic gastritis. The over se
cretion of the glands becomes a
chronic condition ann" even with
small meals there will he an ex
' cess of gastric juice nroduced. At
the same time the mucous
glands begin a protective over
activity to prevent the walls ot the
stomach from ulcerating or dices!-
ing themselves, and the result Is
is an pvr-csslve production of
mucous. This leads to a ireneral
f?!ing of d'scomfort and ful'ness.
There may be a sensation of burn
ing after food has been in the
stomach for short time and sd
called "heartburn" may be pres-1
cnt. When the stomach is emptied,
these symptoms will be reduced
in intensity or may entirely dis
appear to return with the next in
gestion of food.
As the disease progresses In
severity, these symptoms will be
come more marked and more con
tinuous. Frequent belching of sour
gas and even occasional spells of
vomiting sour tasting stomach con
tents will often occur. Later the
vomiting and nausea may become
more continuous. The appetite
may one day be excessive with
the person unable tn secure
sufficient food to satisfy ard
the next day he may be unable to
eat anything with any degree of
comfort. Fermentation rather than
digestion occurs in the stomach,
which increases both the amount
and acidity of the stomach con
tents with gas. A certain amount
of bile regurgitates or Is vomited
making the stomach contents very
bM'er.
The victim of chronic gastritis
as a rule has a chronic headache,
the tonuue is coated, he loses
wei'ht. the sky dry and pale col
ored. E'ther as a cause or as a
result, there mav be liver compli
cations, kidney troubles or ateri it
disturbances. Diabetes or anemia

Actual election of district board
memiicrs mis year is compounded
because the 1955 Legislature enact

tne smaller districts this year
elects at least three new direc
