Cures For Hiccup
All my life I have been sub
ject to spells of hiccups, and
so I am much interested in
the subject. I
have virtually
always been
able quickly
to stop my
hiccups s i m
ply by sipping
water. By
swallowing re
peatedly, one
can rev erse
Aiv.rel tne waves ot
muscie contractions that are
coming up the gullet, and can
drive them down again
through the digestive tube.
Sometimes slowly eating some
dry toast will work ell.
When I was a small child, I
can remember that I often got
the hiccups after laughing too
heartily at something. When
we children got to laughing
uproariously, Mother would
say, "You had better stop that,
or first thing you know, you
will have the hiccups."
Once in my childhood I got
sn attack of hiccups that no
amount of sipping water
would stop. Then my old
Scotch nurse said she felt she
ought to warn me that site had
caught me in some mischief
or other, and when my mother
came home from a trip, it
would be her unpleasant duty
to tell what I had been up to.
This puzzled me greatly, and
I began asking Mrs. Black
just what she had found out.
Finally, she laughed and said,
"You've lost your hiccups;"
snd I had - she had scared
them out of me.
I am reminded of a time
during Wond War I when a
certain Bill Smith, a soldier
on the Argonne Front, got an
attack of the sort of hiccups
which keeps a man in torture
day and night for a week.
About the time that the poor
fellow was nearly frantic with
loss of rest and sleep, a huge
bomb exploded nearby and
threw dirt all over him. When
they dug him out they found
that his hiccups were gone.
After that whenever a big
bomb came over, the soldiers
would say, "There goes Bill
Smith's hiccup cure!"
Nerve Irritated
In the worse cases of hic
cups, I suspect that a virus
has irritated the "phrenic
nerve" which runs from the
neck down to supply the mus
cle of the diaphragm (midriff),
or perhaps it affects the mus
cle of the diphiagm. We doc
tors know that after some op
erations there is enough irri
tation of the lower surface of
the diaphragm so that the
poor patient suffers much
from hiccups.
I know that after my big
abdominal operation three
years ago, my greatest suffer
ing was due to hiccups which
lasted two or three days. For
tunately Dr. Mayo gave me
several big does of a barbitu
rate, so that I could sleep and
rest, and when I finally woke,
the hiccups were gone,
know that several times in
the past, when I saw a man
with the type of hiccups that
are likely to keep going for a
week or 10 days, 1 have been
able quickly to stop his tor
ture with a big dose of a
strong barbiturate.
Sometimes a person will get
hiccups when tie has become
constipated. What has hap
pened is that the distended
part of the lower bowel is
sending off waves of muscle
contractions which were run-
ning up even as far as the
back of his throat, thus caus
ing the hiccups. The minute
the persons constipation
relieved, he will have no more
hiccups.
