n PATHOLOGY OF PREVALENT DIS
EASES, Part H. by DR.. WILLIAM EVANS.-Hav-
ing, in Part l. given accurate and explicit descrip
ton Of she Pathology q we o. the most msI Genera
of Human Diseases, MaTasmus and Diarrhea, IN oil
their known varieties and Indicated the most preba-
bic and approved means of their cure, Dr.. WILLIAM
EVANS proceeds to inform the public Of the Pathols-
gy Of Others which are but little understood by any
medical profession. In thus disseminating among the
many, branch of knowledge which has hitherto
been confined the few, he need not repeat that he
considers this information to be of vital Importance
and inestimable value 70 his fellow men. What can
be Of more importance to mankind in the present life
than knowledge of those diseases which con.
trrually bringing it to close And Of what know
ledge ought mankind 10 be so thoroughly possessed
as knowledge of the maadies to which their own
persons are exposed The first diseases which Dr.
William Evans will describe in this Second Part ofhis
Pathology, some of the species of the Genus LII
moss, OF Morbid Appetite, which forms the fifth Ge-
nus of the Order Enterca Of the class CGliaca and
treat of the principal diseases of the digestive function
and Ahmenta-y canal. Lmoss Cardalagia or Car
diagy, impaired appetite, with gnawng or burn
ing pain in the stomach or epi gastrlum and enden-
cy to faint. This species differs from dyspepsy
which will be described in its proper order al
though Cardialgy is sometimes an attendant Of Dys-
pepsia, as il is Of a multitude Of other complaints.
The first symptom is heartburn, gnawing or
burning uneasiness, chiefly felt the cardia with
a slight tendency to faint The second symptom is
an extension of the pain to the pit of the stomach ;
anxiety, nausea GOODNESS OF the extremtes failure
Of the strength, and great tendency to faint This
is called syncoptica, or 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 nsipd, bat
sometimes acrld, 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
of spirituous liquors. Obsructed perspiration, depra
we'd bile excessive use of purgatlve medicine. In
females, by pregnancy the use of too coplous guam
&C.
butter decayed cheese, and sometimes by night
watching and care ofmind. In children It'll frequent.
ly caused by worms and unrpe fruit.
The first remedy is good aromatic tonic, for
whilst magnesia and soda, which are commenlyt1-
ken in this case, will seldom relieve it for than
half an hour, two or three of the CAMOMlLE
PILLS, taken in a good draaght of moderately warm
water have almost invariably accomplished cure
Their effect on the heartburn of pregnancy, and OF
children, IS always successful. Two of these pills,
taken during the height of the symptoms, Will gene
rally relieve them Immediately and two of the beau
ful APERIENT FAMILY PILLS, taken at bedtime,
will remove il for considerable time even in habits
that are most subject to it. :. Lmoss FlatHs, or Fla
tuIency, impaired appetite, with accumulation Of
wind in the stomach and intestinal canal; and fire..
quent regurgtatiOn. Great restessness anxiety and
oppression attend this disease, which has sometimes
produced not only Mysteries, but suffocation 1t is
frequently caused by drinking large quantity Of cold
fluid when the system is highly heated and by eat
ing cucHmbers radishes, salads, onions and other
raw vegetables In young Infants it arises from the
inability of their tender ston,achs digest the great
quantity offeed with which they are overloaded and
the best remedy for it is to feed them for time
maternal milk alone. Adult persons of either sex,
need only take few Of the CAMOMILE PILLS, to
experience speedy relief. Their carmnative and arc
maticpropertes alone independently of their high tonic
action would produce this effect with certainty and
speed. - "

! STOMACH rejection or tendency to reject its con-
| tents In this malady from whatever cause it may
arise, the efficacy of DR.. William Evans's Camomilt
preparation is knewn both far and near. To married
ladies' especially, who at interesting periods, are al
subject to it, these pills have always proved choict
and favorite acquisition. II the nature of the circlm
stances admitted of certificates from these ladies, he
has no doubt but he could obtain many thousands r
this city alone; and, it is every lady who has tree
them will not hesitate TO recommend them to anoth
| er in the highest terms Of approval They are, how
ever equally efficacions to all persons of any age Of
sex, who may be afflicted with sickness of the sto

unnecessary TO describe the scientific of the
happy efficacy in the case; one general cause how

ally which is well known To be nseperaby connect
ed with all disturbances Of the stomach.
