What is Dyspepsia {?

Pit OF the StOmach-Which is caused by
permanent contraction Of the stomach upon
undgested food. 1t generally begins imme-
diately, or short time after eating; is often
very severe and obstinate.
9. Flatulence and Acidity.-These symp-
toms arise from the indigestion Of food, which
ferments instead of digesting.
3. COstiyeness and Loss of Appetite.-
These symptoms are the effects of the un-
natural condition of food in the stomach, aud
the want of pure bile and gastric juice. The
stomach is often painfully distended by wind;
the appetite is sometimes voracious.
4. Gloom and Depression Of Spirits.-
This state un6ta many for the enjoyment Of
life, and is caused by the impure blood fur
nished by imperfect digestion. In this stage
Of the disease, many persons commit suicide.
There is a constant foreboding of evil, and an
indifference and positive inability to perform
the offices of life.
5. DiarrhGa.-Atter being at first costive,
the sufferer is afflicted with diarrhea, which
is owing to diseased condition of the bowels,
produced by the undgested food, which is
evacuated in the same condition as when
eaten, and, of course, gives no strength to the
system.
6. Pains In ALI Parts Of the System
arise from the action of impure blood upon
the nerves. They are felt chiefly in the head,
sides, and breast, and in the extremities. In
many cases there is an uneasiness in the
throat, with sense of choking or suffocation:
the mouth is often clammy, with bad taste
and furred tongue.
z. COnsumptive Symptoms aud Palpita-
tiOn Of the eHeart.-Many persons pronounced
as having these diseases have, in fact, nothing
but dyspepsia, the lung and heart disease
being only symptoms.
3. C0ugh.-This is a very frequent symp-
tom of Dyspepsia, and leads very often into
confr med consumption.
8. Want of Sleep.-A very distressing
symptom, resulting often in mental derange-
ment.
10. Symptoms Of External atiOn.-The
patient is affected painfully by cold and heat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness of skin,
and the skin is often affected by eruptions and
letters. The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society
as much as possible.
IL. VOmiting.-A frequent and distressing
symptom. 1t relieves the pain, but emaciates
and wears out the patient.
12 Dizziness, Dimness of Vision, Head.
ache, and Staggering in Walking.-These
are very alarming symptoms, which are
speedily removed by our medicine; but if
neglected, are quickly followed by numbness
and sudden death.
13. 1t is impossible for us to give all the
symptoms of Dyspepsia in so small space,
but the above are considered suficient-if We
add that the patient loses his memory and
regard to surrounding Objects and frequently
becomes morose and sour in disposition. We
should cay, however, that pains in the joints
and stiffness of the limbs, which go by the
name of rheumatism and neuralgia, are pro-
muscles of the abdomen, which become con-
traoted and hard; and in some cases the bel y
sinks, instead of being gently prominent.
N. B.-Perhaps we have not said enough ot
that strongest symptom of Dyspepsia, melaa-
eholy. We have examined hundreds of cases Of
Dyspeptics who were so much affected in th ir
minds that they constantly forebodsd loss Of
of any kind, and many of them have be-a
patients of the Insane Asylum, who are no v
permanently cured by our medicines.
We take pleasure in informing the pubic
that we have at great expense secured th4
professional services of DR.. William +. Mag
who was intimately acquainted with the 1r,.
sate practice of the late DR.. Wishart, as well ~
thoroughly conversant with his mode Of
ascertaining the cause and effect of vario1 =,
diseases. He enjoyed the fullest confidence . {
the late DR.. Wishsrt, and was in consulate n
with him almost constantly for many years.
In view of these facts, we most orr
daily recommend him to the form ,r
patrons and friends of the late DE-.
Wishart, and to the afflicted, with the full
assurance that those who need profession Il
counsel or aid will find in the said DR.. Mage
a physician of more than ordinary abilities.
He can minutely describe your disease, ex-
plain the cause and effect Of same as we'll AZ
adm mister remedies known only to himself
and the late DR.. Wishart, that will perform
cures when other physicians and all remedies
fail.
Come ye who are afflicted with Consump.
tion, Coughs, Colds, Bronchial Affections, or
Pain in the Breast. He will by the help Of
an all-wise and benefcent Providence, restors
