Extract

Most individuals consume daily nearly a pound of carbohydrate food in the form of starch or sugar.

The cheapness of sugar in recent times has led to its increased consumption. In 1891 the annual consumpt of cane sugar alone per head of the population was estimated at 80 lbs.

There can be no doubt that the increased consumption of sugar has been followed by an increase in the number of cases of acid dyspepsia, which may in some individuals become so troublesome that they are obliged to abandon saccharine articles of diet as much as possible.
