many, branch of knowledge which has hitherto
been confined to the few, he need not repeat that he
considers this information to be of vital importance
and inestimable value 10 his fellow men. What can
be of more importance 10 mankind in the present life
than knowledge of those diseases which con.

treat of the principal diseases Of the digestive function
and Alimentary canal. Lmoss Cardalagia or Car
diagy, an impaired appetite with gnawng or burn
