What is Dyspepsia :?

diately, or short time after eating; Is often |
very severe and obstinate.
2. Flatulence and Acidiiy.-These symp'
toms arise from the indigestion Of food, which
ferments instead of digesting.
3. COstiveness and Loss OF Appetite
These symptoms are the effects Of the I'M
natural condition of food in the stomach, and
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 unfta 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.--After being at first costive,
the sufferer is afflicted with diarrhoea, which
is owing to diseased condition of the bowels,
produced by the undigested food, which is
evacuated in the same condition as when
eaten, and, of course, gives no strength to the
system.
6. 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 sutfocaton
the mouth is often clammy, with bad taste
and furred tongue.
2. COnsumptive Symptoms and Palpita-
tiOn of the Heart.-Many persons pronounced
as having these diseases have, in fact, nothing
but dyspepsia, the lung and heart disease
being only symptoms.
8. 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 ReIatiOn.-The
patient is affected painfully by cold and heat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness of skin,
and the skin is often affected by erupdons and
letters. The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society
as much as possible.
IL. YOmiting.-A frequent and distressing
symptom. 1t relieves the pain, but emaoiates
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.
IL. 1t is impossible for us to give all the
symptoms of Dyspepsia in so small a space,
but the above are considered snfioient-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-
choly. 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, who are now
We take pleasure in informing the public

professional services of DR.. William F. Magee,
who was intimately acquainted with the pre-
cate practice of the late DR.. Wishart, as we'll as

diseases. He enjoyed the fullest confidence Of

daily recommend him to the former

cures when other physicians and all remedies
