...Flowing Juices. What seems to be acid indigestion, usually with nausea and belching, has the same causes as heartburn. An antacid tablet may help. The catch is that the layman usually cannot tell the difference between this and a medically significant form of indigestion. This inflammation of the stomach (gastritis) is part of the pattern of peptic ulcer. Then the trouble is not a simple backup of the evening's Scotch, steak and potato but a too-free flow of hydrochloric acid and other digestive juices from the stomach walls into the stomach itself and the duodenum. The excess...
...ultimate American goal in Southeast Asia is to stem the flow of Communism, and if an increased effort on America's part leads to even more aggressiveness by the Chinese-supported Communists, where will it all end?

...Steady Flow. This is the job that has been taken over by the big steel cylinders, otherwise known as mercury-arc valves. Perfected for high-voltage use by Dr. Uno Lamm of Sweden's ASEA company, they are filled with hot mercury vapor and act like instantaneous switches. High-voltage AC from step-up transformers runs into them, and whenever the current changes its direction, it is switched to the opposite pole of a DC transmission line. A bank of valves switching in unison produces a steady flow of current...
...testify that Pickrick is indeed involved in business on an interstate scale. Half a dozen surveys of Pickrick's parking lot showed that 2% or 3% of the cars parked there carried out-of-state plates. The Government also showed that Pickrick perforce depends on foods that flow through interstate commerce. Maddox's fish comes from Virginia's and Florida's coasts, his braunschweiger and beef ribs from Iowa, his catchup from California, his green beans from Oregon, his Tabasco sauce from Louisiana, his lettuce from Texas, his hams and bologna from Tennessee...
