The context as explained is that the lady is complaining to her husband about his tendency to be too talkative and free with family secrets.
Just occurred to me that this must be almost literally and figuratively equivalent to gasbag.
There is a suggestion that some perhaps 17 century condition led to people uncontrollably belching gas.
