EASES, Part III. by DR. WILLIAM EvANS.-Hav-
ing, in Part l. given accurate anu explicit deecnp
ton OF the Pathology OF TWO OF the mosI ls.al oenera
of Human Diseases, Marasmus and Dlarrh6a, m 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 Pathole-
gy of others, which are but little UNDERSTOOD Dy any
eycent the repular and well educated members Of the
medical profession In thus disseminating among the
many, branch Of knowledge which has hitherto
been confined the few he need not repeat that ne
considers this information TO be OF vital importance
and inestimable 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-
tnually bringing it 10 a close And OF what know
ledge ought mankind 10 be 80 thoroughly possessed,
as a knowledge of the malades to which Their own
persons are exposed This first diseases which Dr.
William Evans will describe IN this Second Part OF MS
Pathology, some of the species OF the Genus d.
mosis, Morbid Appetite, which forms the nth Ge-
Of the Order Enerca, OF the class Coeliaca and
treat Of the principal diseases of the digestive function
and Alimentary canal. Limoss Cardalagla or Car
dialsy impaired appetite, with gnawing or burn
ing pain in the stomach or epl gasrum and tenden-
cy to faint. This species OILERS from dyspepsy,
which will be described in its proper order, al
though Cardlagy is sometimes attendant OF Dys-
pepsia as il is OF multitude Of other complaints
The first symptom is heartburn, gnawlng or
burning uneasiness, chiefly felt the cardla, with
slight tendency to faint The second symptom is
anxiety nausea GOODNESS of the extremltles, failure
of the strength, and great tendency 10 faint. This
is called syncopca sinking heartburn. The third
symptom is an extension OF the burning sensation
over the whole region Of the stomach, accompanied
with the rising of a watery 1uid usually nsipid, 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 spruous liquors, obstructed perspTation depra-
we'd bile, or excessive use of purgatve medicine. In
females by pregnancy, the use OF too copious guam
ties of very warm very cold drinks, animal fat
butter, decayed cheese, and sometimes by night

ly caused by worms and unrpe fruit.
The first remedy is a good aromatic tonic, for
whilst magnesia and soda, which are commonlytl-
ken in this case, will seldom relieve it for more than
half an hour, two or three OF the CAMOMlLE
PILLS, taken in good draHght of moderately warm
water, have almost invariably accomplished cure.

Children rs always successful. Two OF these pills,
taken during the height Of the symptoms viii gene

oppression attend this disease, which has sometimes
produced not only Mysteries, but sufocation. II is
frequently caused by drinking large quantity of cold
fluid when the system is highly heated ; and by eat
ing raw cucumbers radishes, salads onions and other
raw vegetables In young infants, 1t arises from the
inability of their tender somachs TO digest the great
quantity offoed 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 aro
