What is Dyspepsia :?

| PIT OF the StOmach-Whioh is caused by q
perm. Nnent contraction OF the stomach upon
undige. 7ted food. II generally begins imme-
diately, .or short time after eating; is often
very sevehe and obstinate.
2. FIatul ence and Acidity.-These symp-
toms arise fro n the indigestion of food, which
ferments instea Of digesting.
3. COstiveneaS and Loss or Appetite
These symptoms are the effects of the un-
natural condition o. food in the stomach, and
the want of pure bile and gastric Juice. The
stomach is often paipfn lily distended by wind;
the appetite is sometim. ss voraoious.
4. Gloom and Depra SsiOn Of Spirlts.-
This state unita many A A'r 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 forebodiRg of evil and an
indifference and positive inabfh ty to perform
the offices of life.
8. DiarrhGas-After being at 1'rst costive,
the sufferer is afflicted with diaryA pa, which
is owing to diseased condition Of 81 bowels
produced by the undigestsd food which
evacuated in the same condition .as when
eaten, and, of course, gives nostrergA to the
system.
6. Pains In All Parts Of the ID stem
arise from the action. of impnre blo.o7 h'pon
the nerves. They are felt chiefly in tlse ht 'ad,
sides, and breast, and N the extremitiss. In
many cases there is an uneasiness in tl,e
throat, with a sense of choking or suffocation:
the mouth is often clammy, with bad taste
and furred tongue.
z. COnsumptive Symptoms aud PalpSts,--
tiOn OF the Heart.-Many persons pronounced
as having these diseases have, in fact, nothing
but dyspepsia, the lung and hearb disease
being only symptoms.
=. C0ugh.-This is a very freqnent symp-
tom of Dyspepsia, and leads very often into
confr med consumption.
8. Want of Sleep.-A very distressing
symptom, resulting often in mental derangs-
ment.
10. Symptoms OfExternaI IRelation.--Tas
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 emaoiates
and wears out the patient.
IL Dizziness, Dimness Of Vision, Head.
ache, and Staggering in Walking.-These
are very alarming symptoms, which are
speedily removed by our medicine; but il
neglected, are quickly followed by uumbness
and sudden death.
l3. 1t is impossible for us to give all the
symptoms of Dyspepsia in so small space,
| but the above are considered suffcient-if we
add that the patient loses his memory and
regard to surrounding objects, and frequently
becomes mOrose and sour in disposition. We
| should say, however, that pains in the Joints
and stiffness of the limbs which go by the
name of rheumatism and neuralgia are pro.
duced by Dyspepsia. Also, hardness of the
muscles of the abdomen, which become con-
tracted and hard; and in some cases the belly
| sinks, instead of being gently prominent.
n. B.-Perhaps we have not said enough of
that strongest symptom of Dyspepsia, melan-
eholy. We have examined hundreds of cases of
Dyspeptics who were so much affected in their
minds that they constantly foreboded loss of
their reason, which untitled them for business
of any kind, and many of them have been
patients of the Insane Asylum, VINO are now
permanently cured by our medicines.
We take pleasure in informing the public
that we have at great expense secured the
professional services of DR.. William 7. Magee,
who Was intimately acquainted with the pTl-
cate practice of the late DIR. Wishart, as well as
thoroughly conversant with his mode of
ascertaining the cause and effect of various
diseases. He enjoyed the fullest confidence of
the late DR.. Wishsrt, and was in consultation
with him almost constantly for many years.
He has in his possession various newly-dis-
covered and private remedies used by the late
DR.. Wishart in his private practice with such
uniform success in the cure of chronic and
lopg-standing diseases, which in hundreds Of
cases baflled the skill of some of the most
eminent physicians of various schools of the
land; and which contributed to a great extent,
and accounted for the enviable reputation he
enjoyed as successful practising physician
of the reformed school at the time of his de-
cease. In view of these facts, we most cor
daily recommend him to the former
patrons and friends of the late Dr..
Wishart, and to the afflicted, with the full
assurance that those who need professional
counsel or aid will find in the said DR.. Magee
physician of more than ordinary abilities.
He can infinitely describe your disease, ex-
plain the cause and effect of the same, as well
as give sound and practical advice for the pre-
servation of health prevention Of various dis
eases, and perform cures when all other physi-
clans fail. When hopelessly given up to die
by all other physicians, give our remedies a
trial.
