EASES, Part H. BY DR.. WILLIAM EvANS-Hav-
ing, in Part J. given accusase and explicit descnp
ton of the Pathology oftw ofthe most fatal Genera
Of Human Diseases Marasnus and Diarrh9a, IN all
their known varieties and Indicated the most prsba-
bic and approved means of their cure, Dr. WILLIAM
EVANS proceeds to inform the public of the Paihols-
gy of Others, which are but little Understood Dy 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 ne
considers this information TO he OF VIAL importance
and nestmable value 70 his fellow men. What can
be of more Importance mankind IN the present life,
than a knowledge of those diseases which are con-
tirnaly bringing it to close? And OF what Know
ledge ought mankind TO be so thoroughly possessed,
as a knowledge of the maladies 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 u
mosis or Morbid Appetite, which forms the NTH Ue,
nus of the Order Enerica, OF the class Ceaca; and
treat of the principal diseases of the digestive function
and Alimentary canal. Limosis Cardalaga or Car
dialgy, an impaired appetite, with gnawing or burn
ing pain in the stomach or ep sastrum, and enden
CIV to faint This species differs from dyspepsy,
which will be described in its proper order, al
though Cardiagy is sometimes an attendant OF DyS-
pepsa, as it is Of multitude of other complaints.
The first symptom is heartburn, gnawlng or
burning uneasiness, chiefly felt near the cardia, with
an extension of the pain to the pit Of The stomach ;
anxiety, nausea coldness OF the extremtes, failure
of the strength, and great tendency TO faint inns
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 nslpld, bat
sometimes acrd, 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 spirtuous liquors, Obsructed persplration depra-
we'd bile, or excessive use OF purgave medicine In
females, by pregnancy the use OF too copous guam
ties of very warm or very cold drinks, animal fat,
butter decayed cheese, and sometimes by night
watching and care ofmind In children tits freqrent
ly caused by worms and unnpe fruit
The first remedy is good aromatic tonic, Tor
whilst magnesa and soda, which are commonytl-
ken in this case will seldom relieve il for more than
half an hour, two three Of the CAMOMlLE
PILLS, taken in a good draHght of moderately warm
water, have almost invariably accomplished cure
Their effect 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 it for considerable time, even IN habits
that are most subject it. 2. Limosis Flaus or Fla
tuency impaired appetite with an accumulation Of
wind in the stomach and Intestinal canal and fire.
quent regurgitation Great restessness, anxiety and
oppression attend this disease which has sometimes
produced not only mysteries, but suffocaton. 1t Is
frequently caused by drinking large quantity of cold
fluid when the system is highly heated; and by eat
ing cucumbers, radshes salads, onions and other
raw vegetables. In young infants, it arises from the
inability of their tender stOnachs TO digest the great
quantity offood with which they arc overloaded; and
the best remedy for it is TO feed them for time on
maternal milk alone. Adult persons of either sex,
need only take few Of the CAMOMILE PILLS, to
experience speedy relief Their carminative and aro-
matcpropertes alone independently of their high tonic
action would produce this effect, with certainty and
speed.
3. LINOSIS EMESIS, or SICKNESS OF THE
STOMACH, rejection 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 knewn both far and TO married
ladies' especially, who at interesting periods, all
| subject TO it, these pills have always proved choice
and favorte acquisition. If the nature of the circuin
stances admitted of certificates from these ladies, he
has doubt but he could obtain many thousands in
this city alone; and, II is every lady who has tired
| them will not hesitate to recommend them to anoth
| er in the highest terms of approval. They are, how
ever equally eficacious TO all persons, OF any age OF
sex, who may be afflicted with sickness of the sto
mach Since single trial will prove this fact it is
unnecessary describe the scientific causes Of he
happy efficacy in the case; 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.
