DYSPEPSIA HAS THE FOLLOWING
SYMPTOMS.

contraction OF the stomach upon undigested. food.
IL generally begins Immediately or a short time
after eating; is generally very severe and obst-
nate.
2 Flatulence and Acidty.-Those symptom,
ARISE from the indigestion of food which fer
ments, instead of digesting.
3, Costiveness and Loss of Appetite.-These
symptoms are the effects of the unnatural con-
dltlon OF the food in the stomach and the want
of pure bile and gastric Juice. The stomach 1.
olten painfully distended by wind; the appetite
is sometimes voracious
4. dloom and Depression of Spirits.-Ths
state units many for the enjoyment of life, and
is caused by the impure blood furnished by i'm
perfect digestion. In this stage of the disease
many persons commit suicide. There is n con-
stant foreboding of evil, and an indifference and
positive inability to perform the offices of life.
5. Diarhea.-After being at first costiye. III.
sufferer is afflicted with diarrhea, which ia
owing to diseased condition of the bowels pro-
duced by the undigested food, which is evacu-
ated In the same condition when eaten and of
course gives no strength to the system.
6. Pains in all Parts OF the system Arise
| They are felt chiefly in the head, sides, and
breast, and in the extremities. In manv cases
there is an uneosiness in the throat, with sense
OF choking or suffocation; the mouth is often
| clammy, with bad taste and furred tongue.
z. Consumptive Symptoms and Palpitation of
the Heart.-Many persons pronounced as having
these diseases have, in fact, nothing but Dys-
| pepsia, the lung and heart disease being only
| symptoms.
8. Cough.-This is a very frequent symptom
OF Dyspepsia, and leads very often into con-
frmed Consumption.
9. Want of Sleep.-A very distressing symp-
tom, resulting often in mental arrangement
| 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 affected by eruptions and tet-
ters. The gloomy dyspepde avoids society as
much possible.
IL. Vomiting.-A frequent and distressing
| symptom. 1t relieves the pain, but emaciates
| and wears out the patient
H. Dizziness, Dimness of Vision Headache,
| 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 symp-
toms of Dyspepsia in so small space, but the
above are considered sufficient, if we add that
the patient loses his memory and regard to sur
rounding objects, and frequently becomes morose
| and sour in disposition We should say, how
ever, that pains in the joints and stiffness of the
limbs, which go by the name of Rheumatism
and Neuralgia, are produced by Dyspepsia. Also
hardness of the muscles of the abdomen, which
becomes contracted aud hard, and in some cases
the belly sinks, instead OF being gently promi-
nent.
A touch of the Dyspepsia has changed mans
whole life, and an irregularity of the bile has
made many an angel almost fiend. II the gas
trio juice is all right, and the blood in swimming
order, the world is a NICE bright, pleasant place
from which nobody is in hurry to move; but IL
in that queer, mysterious fluid there is an alloy
the sky of life is all cloud, the winds howl.
and everything is dark and dismal. If you want
to feel happy, look after your digestive and cir
| culating systems.
