INDIGESTION
EFFORTS TO CURE DOCTORS’ HOPE For the first time doctors are carrying out a really large and comprehensive survey among a wide variety of workers to find a cure for indigestion. In eight months two Londcm doctors, working at the Central Middlesex County Hospital—Dr F. Avery Jones and. Dr Richard Doll—will have talked to or examined 10,000 peopie. These people are employed in light engineering, in transport, in research. Charitable workers, waiters, and doctors themselves will also be included in the survey. The jobs chosen are those most subject to gastric trouble because of irregular meals, working against time, tension, or anxiety. “We are interested in people who haven’t got indigestion so that we can compare their conditions of work with those who have,” said Dr Avery Jones.
