Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“Stomach” Ulcer
ACCORDING To recent conservative estimates, about half
a million people in our country today have ulcers of A
the digestive system in an active form. This includes both
ulcers of the stomach and ulcers of the duodenum-that
part of the small intestine into which the stomach empties.
There is evidence that this disease is increasing, especially
among those from 30 to 50 years of age.
Medical science can now offer greater hope than ever
before to those who have this condition. Many cases can
be cured completely, and others can be controlled. This
has been made possible largely by increased knowledge of
the nature of the disease-particularly of the part that the
emotions play in causing ulcers. There has also been great
improvement in methods of diagnosis and treatment.
An ulcer is essentially an irritated or inflamed area in
the lining of the stomach or duodenum. Although the
exact cause is unknown, there are several factors which
may be responsible for its onset. Contant abuse of the
stomach through eating hurried, irregular meals-or eating
food that is too highly seasoned, or too hot or too
cold-may lead to an ulcer. Prolonged emotional tension,
accompanied by excessive secretion of the acid digestive
juices formed by the stomach, is also believed to be an
important factor in the development of this ailment. As
the ulcer develops, pain, an unnatural feeling of hunger,
so-called "heartburn" and "indigestion," or other digestive
complaints usually occur.
Through improved X-ray techniques and other diagnostic
aids, the doctor can almost always determine the
size and location of an ulcer. [f the condition is detected,
he will recommend prompt treatment, as an ulcer may
quickly undermine general health by interfering with the
body's nutritive processes.
Fortunately, in many cases, ulcers can be treated successfully
by appropriate dietary measures. The patient
must also readjust his daily life so as to reduce mental
and emotional strain. In addition, new drugs are proving
helpful. Cases that do not respond to either drug or diet
therapy are often benefited by surgery.
As a safeguard against ulcers and other digestive diseases,
doctors urge immediate medical attention whenever
persistent discomfort occurs in the region of the stomach.
With prompt medical care, many persons with ulcers and
other digestive disorders recover completely and lead
normal, healthy lives.
