Education has done much for the suppression of annoyances
from this source. The good breeding which has penetrated
even to the masses of society has succeeded in making acts
unfrequent which are considered such evidence of rudeness
& ill manners as to make their exercise perilous to the
reputation of the offender.

The power of preventing disagreeable emissions
from the mouth is not possessed to the same extent – but
absolute power is possessed to regulate them so the as
to prevent their offensiveness to others. Eructation
which cannot always be controlled may be made less unannoying
to those present by covering the mouth with a pocket watching the direction in which the blast
handkerchief – is in cases of suddenness the annoyance will not reach any person, – then let the air escape in that direction
may be greatly diminished by placing the hand upon from the smallest possible aperture at the corner of your mouth. So
the mouth the act may be unperceived.

If there be persons on every side within reach of the blast
either cover your mouth with your handkerchief or your
hand – the carbonic acid gas will descend by its own
gravity.

If you are at table with any person opposite to you
the covering your mouth is better than your visibly puffing
out the effluvia – for if the distance be so great that the
annoyance will not affect your companion's sense of smell
you may save him from fancying that he does perceive
it – a fancy likely to be created by his perceiving that
the act of eructation has had place.
