EASES, Part ii. by DR.. WILLIAM EVANS.-Hav-
ins, in Part given accurate and explicit descrp'
lon OF the Pathology Of TWO Of the most fatal Genera
Of Human Diseases, Marasmus and DiarrhGa in all
their known varieties and Indicated the most proba
bic and approved means of their cure, DR.. WILLIAM
EVANS proceeds to inform the public OF the Pathols
gy Of Others which but little understood by any
except the regular and well educated members Of the
medical profession In thus disseminating among the
many, branch Of knowledge which has hitherto
been confined to the few, ne need not repeat that ne
considers this information to be OF vital importance
and inestimable value to his fellow men. What can
be gilmore importance to mankind IN the present life,
than knowledge of those diseases which are con.
tnually bringing it to close And Of what know
ledge ought mankind to be so thoroughly possessed,
as knowledge of the malades to which Their own
persons exposed The first diseases which DR..
William Evans will describe in this Second Part OF his
Pathology are some of the species of the Genus LII

which will be described in its proper order, al
though Cardlalgy is sometimes an attendant ofDys-
pePsa, as it is of a multitude of other complaints.
The first symptom is heartburn, gnawing or
burning uneasiness, chiefly felt near the carda, with
a slight tendency to faint. The second symptom is
an extension of the pain to the pit of the stomach

children, is always successful. Two of these pills,

produced not only Mysteries but sufocaton. 1t is
frequently caused by drinking large quantity of cold
fluid when the system is highly heated and by eat

raw vegetables In young infants it arises from the

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 Camomile
preparation is known both far and near. To married
ladies, especially, who at interesting periods, are all
subject to it, these pills have always proved choice
and favorite acquisition. If the nature of the circum
stances admitted of certificates from these ladies' he
has no doubt but he could obtain many thousands in
this city alone and is, every lady who has tried
them will not hesitate TO recommend them to anoth-
er in the highest terms ofapproval. They are how
ever equally eficacious to all persons, of any age
sex, who may be afflicted with sickness of the sto-
mach. Since single trial will prove this fact it is
unnecessary to describe the scientific of their
happy efficacy in the case; one general cause, how
ever is their effect upon the sensoral function gener
ally, which is well known to be inseperably connect
ed with all disturbances of the stomach.
