EASES, Part ii. by DR.. WILLIAM EvANS.-nav-
ton Of the Pathology of two Of the most fatal Genera
of Human Diseases Marasnus and Diarrh9a, IN all
their known varieties; and indicated the most preba-
BILE 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 by any
except the regular and well educated members Of the
medical profession. In thus disseminating among the
many, a branch of knowledge which has hitherto
been confined to the few ne need not repeat nal ne
considers this information to be of vital importance
and inestimable value " his fellow men. What can
be OF more importance mankind in the present life,
than knowledge of those diseases which are con-
tnually bringing il to close And OF what Know
ledge ought mankind 10 be so thoroughly possessed,
as knowledge Of the malades to which Their own
persons are exposed The first diseases which DR..
William Evans will describe in this Second Part OF his
Pathology are some OF the species OF the uenls III
moss, or Morbid Appetite, which forms the fifth Ge-
nus of the Order Enlenca, of the class CGlaca and
treat of the principal diseases of the digestive function
and Alimentary canal. Limosis Cardalaga or Car
diagy, an impaired appetite, with gnawing or burn
ing pain in the stomach or epgasrlum, and enden-
cy to faint. This species differs from dyspepsy
which will be described in its proper ORDER al
though Cardialgy Is sometimes an attendant OF Dys-
pessa, as 1t is of a multitude of other complaints.
The first symptom IS heartburn, gnawlng or
burning uneasiness chiefly felt near the cardla with
a slight tendency to faint The second symptom is
an extension OF the pain to the pit OF the stomach
anxiety, nausea coldncss of the extremites failure
OF the strength, anda great tendency faint. This
is called synceptca 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 nsipd, bat
sometimes acrld which is called the water trash
The first symptom is most common, and affects both
sexes. In the male it frequently caused by the
of splrituous liquors. obstruced perspration depra

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
watching and care ofmind. In children il is reqnent
ly caused by worms and unrpe fruit.
The first remedy is good aromatic tonic, for
whilst magnesia and soda which commonlytl-
ken in this case, will seldom relieve it for than
half an hour, two or three OF the CAMOMILE
PILLS, taken in good draaght Of moderately warm
water, have almost invariably accomplished a care

children, rs always successful. Two of these pills,
taken during the height of the symptoms, will gene

quent regurgitation Great restessness, anxiety and
oppression attend this disease, which has sometimes
produced not only Mysteries, but suflocation 1t is
frequently caused by drinking large quantity Of cold
fluid when the system is highly heated and by eat
ing raw cucnmbers radshes salads, onions and other
raw vegetables In young infants, il arises from the
inability Of their tender stonachs to digest the great
quantity offood with which they are overloaded !; and
the best remedy for it is 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 carmnative and aro-
maticpropertes alone independently of their high tonic
action would produce this effect with certainty and
speed
3. LIMOSIS EMESIS, or SICKNESS OF THE
STOMACH, rejection or tendency to reject its con-
tents. In this malady, from whatever cause il may
arise, the efficacy of DR.. William Evans's Camomile
preparation is knswn both far and near To married
ladies, especially who, interesting periods are all
subject to it, these pills have always proved choice
and favorte acquisition. Ii the of the crcum-
stances admitted of certificates from these ladies, he
has no doubt but he could obtain many thousands in
this city alone and ii is every lady who has tried
them will not hesitate to recommend them to anoth
er IN the highest terms of approval. They are, how
equally efcacious 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 il is
unnecessary to describe the scientific causes of fhe
happy efficacy in the case; one general cause, how
ever is their effect upon the seasonal function gener
ally, which is well known TO be inscpcrably connect
ed with all disturbances of the stomach.
