IT PATHOLOGY OF PREVALENT DIS
EASES, Part ii. by DR.. WILLIAM EVANS.-FIav-
ing, in Part given an accurate and explicit descrip-
ton OF the Pathology OF Two ofthe fatal Genera
of Human Diseases, Marasmus and Diarrhcsa. in all
their known varieties and indicated the most proba
BILE 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
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 he need not repeat that he
considers this information to be of vital importance
and lnestlmabe 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
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 Iii
mosls or Nor bid Appetite, which forms the fifth &C.
nus of the Order Enterica, of the class CGaca and
treat Of the principal diseases of the digestive function
and Allmentary canal Llmosis Cardalaga or Car
dlalgy, an impaired appetite, with gnawipg OF burn
ing pain IN the stomach or cpl gastrum and enden
cy to faint. This species differs from dyspepsy
which will be described in its proper order al

pePsa, as 1t IS OF multitude of othef. COMPLAINTS.
The hrst symptom IS heartburn, "a gnawing or
burning uneasiness, 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
anxiety, nausea codness of the extremities failure
of the strength, anda great tendency to faint. This
is called syncoprca or sinking heartburn. Tho third
symptom is an extension of the burning sensation
over the whole region of the stomach, accompanied
with the rising of watery fluid usually insipd bat
sometimes acrid, 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 spnuous liquors, obstructed perspration depra-
we'd bile or excessive use Of purgative medicine. In
females by pregnancy, the use of too copious guam
ties of very warm on very cold drinks animal fat,
butter, decayed cheese, and sometimes by night
watching and of mind In children it is freqnen-
ly caused by worms and unripe fruit
The first remedy is good aromatic tonic, for
whilst magnesia and soda, which are commonlytl-
ken in this case will seldom relieve il for more than
half an hour, two three of the CAMOMILE
PILLS, taken in good draught 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
