BILE and approved means OF their cure DR.. WILLIAM
EVANS proceeds to inform the public of the Pathole-
gy of others, which are but little understood bv anv
except the regular and well educated members Of the
medical profession. In thus dlssemina ling amonr the
many, branch Of knowledge which has hitherto
been confined to the few, he need not repeat that hc
considers this information to be of vital importance
and lnestlmable value TO his fellow men. What can
be OF more importance TO mankind in the present life,
than knowledge of those diseases which are con-
tinually bringing it to close? And of what know
ledge ought mankind to be so thoroughly possessed
as knowledge of the maades to which their own
persons are exposed The first diseases which Dr.
William Evans will describe in this Second Part Of his
Pathology, some of the species of the Genus Lii
moss, or Morbid Appetite, which forms the fifth Ge-
mas of the Order Enterca OF the class CGiaca and
treat of the principal diseases of the digestive function
and Aimentary canal. Lmoss CardiaIagia or Car
dalgy, an impaired appetite with gnawing or burn
ing pam IN the stomach or epl gasrium, and tenden-
cy to faint. This species differs from dyspepsy,

pepsla, as il is of multitude of other complaints
The first symptom is heartburn, a gnawng or
burning uneasness chiefly felt near the cardia with
slight tendency to faint. The second symptom is
an extension of the pain to the pit Of the stomach

is called syncoplica, sinking heartburn The third
symptom is an extension of the burning sensation
over the whole region of the stomach, accompanied
with the rising of watery fluid usually nsipid, bat
sometimes acnd, which is called the water trash
The first symptom Is most common, and affects both
sexes. In the male it is frequently caused by the use
Of splrtuous liquors, Obstructed perspratien depra-
we'd bile, excessive use Of purgative medicine. In
females, by pregnancy the use Of too copious guam
ties Of very warm or very cold drinks, animal fat
butter, decayed cheese, and sometimes by night

ken in this case, will seldom relieve il for more than
half an hour, two three of the CAMOMILE
PILLS, taken in a good draaght Of moderately warm

oppression attend this disease, which has sometimes
produced not only mysteries, but suffocation. 1t is
frequently caused by drinking large quantity of cold
