What is Dyspepsia :?

Eu OF tne SlOmRCn-Whioht ts oau50d by
permanent contraction OF the stomach upon
undigested food. 1t generally begins imme-
diately, or short time after eating; Is often
very severe aud obstinate.
2. Fiatulence and Acidity.-These symp-
toms arise from the indigestion Of food, which
feIments instead OF digssting.
3. CoStivensss aud Loss OF Appetite
These symptoms are the effects o. the un-
natural condition Of food Ia the stomach, and
the want Of pure bile and gastric juice. The
stomach is often painfully distended by wind;
the appetite is sometimes vorsoious.
4. Gloom and Depression OF Spirits.-
This state uhiita many for the enjoyment Of
life, and Ia caused by the impure blood fur
nishsd by imperfect digestion. In this stage
of the diseaSe, many persons commit suicide.
There is constant forebodipg OF evil, and an
Indifference and positive inability to perform
the offices of life.
5. DiarrhGa. being at FIRST costive,
the sufferer is afflicted with diarrhoes, which
is owing to a diseased condition of the boWelM
produced by the undigested food which
evacuated in the same condition as when
eaten, and, of course, gives no strength to the
system.
G. Pains In All 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 a sense of choking or suffooation:
the mouth is often clammy, with a bad taste
and furred tongue.
2. COnsumptiye Symptoms and Palpita..
| tiOn OF the Heart.-Mapy persons pronounced
as having these diseases have, in fact, nothing
but dyspepsia, the lung and heart disease
being only symptoms.
!. Ceugh.-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 RelatiOn.-The
patient is affected painfully by cold and heat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness Of skin,
and the skin is often atfe cted by erupions and
letters. The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society
as much as possible.
IL. H0miting.-A frequent and distressing
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 il
neglected, are quickly followed by numbness
and sndden death.
l3. 1t is impossible for US to give all the
symptoms of Dyspepsia in 80 small space,
out the above are considered suf6cient-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, a 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 VIZ 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 aDy kind, and many of them have been
patients of the Insane Asylum, who 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. Mages,
who was intimately acquainted with the pr,-
cate practice OF the late DIR. Wishart as well as
thoroughly conversant with his mode Of
ascertaiDing the cause and effect Of various
diseases. He enjoyed the fullest confidence of
the late DIR. Wishart 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.. WisbaJt in his private practice with such
uniform success in the cure of chronic and
loDg-stsndipg diseases, which in hundreds of
cases bs filed the skill of some of the most
eniDeD Ut hysicans of various schools OF the
land; and which contributed to a great extent,
and accounted for the enviable reputation he
enjoyed as a successful practising physician
OF the r,torm' d school at the time of his de-
cease. In view OF these facts, we most oor-
daily recommend him to the former
patrons and friends of the late DR..
WibaIt and to the afflicted, with the full
assurance that those who need professional
counsel or aid will find in the said DIR. Magee
a physician of more than ordinary abilities.
He can minutely describe your disease, ex-
plain the cause and t6tct of the same, as well
as give sound and practical advice for the pre-
selvatiOn Of health, prevention OF various dis
eases, al perform cures when all other ply ST.
oiaDs tail. When bop-lessly given up to die
by all other physicians, give our remedies q
trial.
Come ye who are afflicted with Consump-
tiOn, Coughs, Colds, Bronchial Affections, or
Pain in the Breast, and he will, by the help Of
