Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia is produced by variety of causes, and
is accompanied by variety Of symptoms. In some
cases there is too free secretion of the gastric Juices
when the person will suffer from the rising of food
sour stomach and water brasil In other cases there
will be deficiency of gastric juice when the food will
ley in the stomach without being dgesed giving rise
to sense of fullness, with dull, heavy pain in the
region of the stomach eructatons of wind and some
times nausea and cramping spells. Sometimes the
lining membrane of the stomach is infamed giving
rise to constant tenderness at the pit of the stomach
In some cases the appetite will be excessive and in
some deficient In some cases there will be pain i'm
mediatey after eating, in some cases half an hour or
an hour afterwards, and in cases the pain will
occur only when the stomach is empty Persons
suffering from dyspepsia very often have furred
tongue, foul breath, costiveness followed BY diar-
rhoea,p aptation ofhc heart pains through tie back
shoulders or limbs, dull headache dizziness, sour
gloomy feeling, peevshness, nervous irritaby and
general weakness. How few people in this country
are entirely free from all of these painful feengsl
What an amount of human misery and suffering is
produced by imprudent living
a disease which assumes such variety of symp-
toms must of course require different treatment in
different cases While one person might be cured by
living on Graham bread and milk Others would be in
jured by such diet 1t is therefore important that the
physician should prescribe the habits OF diet and life
appropriate to each case. By the proper combna-
ton Of hygienic and tonic treatment, we may hope
to effect permanent cure in few months time.

Disease Of the Skin.

The most common forms of skin diseases are
1st Eczema, popularity known as moist letter, salt
rheum and eryspelas. This is characterized by the
discharge of waery fluid which dries down and forms
little scales, and by considerable itching especially
at night. 1t is most common upon the hands and
arms, but may appear upon any part of the body.
cd. Psoriasis, popularity known as dry letter. This
is characterized by eruption Of dry scales with no
discharge, and usually with but little itching 1t may
appear upon any part of the body
Sd. lmpetigo This is characterized by an erup-
ton of little sores, which discharge matter 1t usually
indicates poorer condition of the general health
than the other skin diseases we have mentioned.
There are many other forms of skin disease but these
we have mentioned are by far the most frequent
In curing skin disease it is necessary to investigate
carefully the condition of the general health
Every disease has cause and the physician who
would be successful, must Understand what the cause
is and direct his treatment towards its removal We
find that nearly all skin diseases have their origin in
some arrangement of the blood of the general sys
TEN, and therefore in order to treat them successfully
it is necessary to combine local and constitutional
treatment

HemOrrhoids or Piles.

This painful disease depends upon enlargement of
the Hemorrhodal veins, and other blood vessels of
the lower bowel rectum, caused by torpor Of the
liver, constipation of the bowels, straining at STOOL
&c. Sometimes these enlarged veins become dis
tended with blood and protrude from the mouth Of
the bowel rectum when they become very painful,
inhamed and liberated to bleed from the slightest
cause. The enlarged veins producing Piles being
seated inside of the recium has rendered it difficult
by ordinary means to apply suitable remedies to the
seat of the disease so as TO effect permanent cure

The Samson of the South lives in Calhoun Co.,
Mississippi. He is about thrty-five years old, and
weighs two hundred ard twenty five pounds. lie
has been known to carry three bars of railroad irop
when it takes from three to five ordinary men to
carry one. He take cask containing forty
gallons of whiskey or water and raise it from the
ground and drink out of the bung-hoe with as much
ease as Others could out of common pitcher, and
he has frequently taken barrel of flour under each
arm, and balancing sack of salt on his head
carried them for several hundred yards with appar
emily little effort.

Epilepsy or Fits,

Arc sometimes caused by an irritation of the stomach
or intestinal canal but more frequently they are the
result of some disease of the nervous system 1t is
useless to use remedy for Fits simply because it
has cured some else for there are seldom two
cases which require the same treatment When the
cause of the Fits be ascerancd as in very many
cases it can there is usually but little difficulty in
eilecting permanent cure.

GRANULAR LIDS

CROSS EYES.

On each side Of the eye we observe several muscles
designed to the eye, turning it round in all di-
rections. Occasionally, the nerves which run from
the brain to one of these muscles may become par
italy psralyzed from irritation of the brain caused
by teehng, disease of the stomach, the paroxysms of
IWhooping Cough, Fits or Commissions rendering one
lof the muscles and most frequently the external SO
weak that it cannot keep the eye-ba in place, but
allows it to turn inwards, causing internal squnt
or crooked eye, seriously mpairing vision and pro-
Iducing most unpleasant deformity. This deformity
can be relieved in a moment without touching the
Ieye by dividing the little muscle on the side which is
at fault when the eye becomes straight instantly, and
the sight rapidly improves by use
