REMARKS PRELIMINARY TO THE MEDICAL PORTION OF THIS WORK.

        That a knowledge of diseases is necessary to their cure, will be readily acknowledged; but a great difference of opinion prevails amoug mankind as to how this knowledge

should be obtained. Some say it should be the result of personal experience; while others contend that education and theory alone, is all that is necessary to make a skillful physician. The union of observation, with the deductions of theory, will probably be found to lead to the safest conclusions. A medical education should be united with experience. Every disease is to be known by its peculiar symptoms, and the sagacity of the physician will be exercised in discriminating between different diseases by their different symptoms.

        Regard should always be paid to the constitution, manner of life, age, sex, temper, &c. Some constitutions are peculiar and require a peculiar treatment. It would be injudicious to treat the tender, delicate and sickly in the same manner as the hardy and robust.

        Females have diseases peculiar to themselves--their system is more tender and irritable and demands greater caution.

        The following enquiries should be made previous to administering medicine to a sick person.

        When were you taken? How were you taken? To what disease are you most liable? Is the disease constitutional or accidental? Are you temperate in eating and drinking? What has been your general health? What were your feelings for several days previously to being taken, &c.? If the patient be a female, you should also ascertain whether she has been regular in her monthly periods? Whether there is any suppression of urine, &c.

        A physican, on entering the room of a sick person, should be easy and affable in his manners, and wait patiently the subsiding of any strong excitement his presence may have created.

        THE PULSE.--By the pulse is meant the beating or throbbing of an artery, which is occasioned by the motion of the heart in propelling the blood through them. This motion of the heart and arteries is spoken of at greater length in the anatomical part of this work. The physician derives great information as to the condition of his patient, from knowing how the blood circulates. This is ascertained by feeling the pulse. The pulse in different persons varies, it beats quicker in the sanguine than in the melancholly--in the young and vigorous, than in the old and declining--children have quicker pulse than adults. The

usual standard of a healthy indication by the pulse in grown persons is from 66 to 80 strokes in a minute.

        Good health is indicated by a strong, firm, regular pulse.

        1. When the pulse resists the pressure of the finger, feels full, and swells boldly under the pressure, it is called a full strong tense pulse--if slow and irregular, it is called a weak, fluttering and irregular pulse.

        2. When the pulse feels like a string drawn tight, and gives considerable resistance to the presure of the finger, it is termed a hard, corded pulse.

        3. The soft and intermitting pulses give their own meaning by name; they are very easily distinguished from each other, as in cases of great weakness of the system and a languid circulation, or on the approach of death.

        4. An intermitting pulse is sometimes produced by oppression of the stomach and bowels, it also arises in some instances from an agitation of the mind. A vibrating pulse, with quick, weak pulsations, acting under the fingers like a thread, quick but very weak and irregular, indicates a highly dangerous state of the system. This pulse is generally accompanied with deep sighs, difficult breathing, and a dead, heavy languor of the eyes.

        The above directions will enable any person to distinguish the different states of the pulse; and enable him so far as the pulse can give any indications, to judge of the nature and stage of the disease.

PART TWO.
CONTAINING A DESCRIPTION OF THE SYMPTOMS
OF DISEASE, AND THE METHOD
OF TREATMENT.

        I will not trouble the reader here with a long treatise on the doctrines, or what is called the pathology of diseases, which would prove both tedious and tiresome, without imparting the least benefit to those for whom this work is especially intended. But in giving the symptoms of disease, or the various aspects under which it makes its appearance, I will endeavor to do it in both a concise and comprehensive manner, confining myself, principally, to

those diseases which are most common in our country, and peculiar to our climate. It is very necessary that the head of every family should be instructed, to some extent, in the method of curing their own maladies; simple remedies, and such as are at hand in most families, will, if taken in due time, often throw off diseases which might have baffled the skill of the most experienced physicians if it had been let to run on without remedy for a length of time. A full conviction of this fact will induce me to simplify the HEALING ART, so that any family, possessing an ordinary share of common sense, may become their own physician in most cases of disease, without the hazard of increasing the hold of disease or weakning the power of life. The Indian system of practice may appear simple to many persons who are not acquainted with their success in treating diseases, but I flatter myself that a fair trial of their method of treating diseases as is herein laid down, will almost invariably be crowned with success, and many painful and truly distressing complaints which have hitherto been considered by the whites, as incurable, will be found to yield speedily to simple remedies.

        Believing that colds are directly or indirectly the cause of most diseases by checking perspiration, obstructing the general or natural circulation of all the fluids, and there-by producing a marked action, or in other words, a diseased condition of the whole system--I will first begin with colds.

CATARRH OR COLD--(Oo-hur-tlah.)

        Colds are so common in every country, and their modes of treatment so generally known, that the reader will doubtless conclude that little or nothing need be written on a subject which is already so familiar. But when we reflect that it is often the forerunner and not unfrequently the foundation of other diseases which are difficult to remove, and in many instances highly dangerous, and even fatal, in despite of medical aid--the subject does not appear so trivial as on first thought; but is one which certainly demands the serious attention of all those who wish to enjoy a reasonable portion of health.

        Persons of delicate constitutions are most liable to take cold--and from the great carelessness of such persons in neglecting to avoid exposure--and to remove cold in its

earliest stages, originates most of the consumptions in this, as well as other countries. It is often the foundation of a host of other diseases, such as pleurisy, liver complaints, fevers, asthmas, &c. I therefore feel it my duty to impress it on the mind of the reader, that cold, however simple it may at first appear, should be taken in its earliest stage, at which time it is easily thrown off and by very simple means.

        SYMPTOMS.--A dull heaviness in the head, frequent sneezing, a discharge of watery mucous from the nose or eyes, or both, a stoppage in the nose and head--it is frequently attended with chillness, succeeded by flushes of heat, a very disagreeable fullness is felt about the eyes. Cold is often attended with soreness of the throat, cough and pain in the chest. Here I repeat that most of the consumptions of this country are occasioned by neglected colds, brought on by exposure to night air, by changing warm clothing for thin, by sudden check of perspiration, by damp feet, &c.

        TREATMENT.--Cold in its first stage may be thrown off very easily, and by very simple means, such as a free use of sage, mint, ground ivy, balm, pennyroyal; pepper or ginger teas, or any sweating tea that the patient may prefer, to which may be added a portion of the diaphoretic drops. If the violence of the attack requires it, bathe the feet in warm water fifteen or twenty minutes, then wipe them dry and draw on warm stockings. If the head should be much stopped up with cold, sweat it by covering it over with flannel or other covering, and place a hot rock on the hearth, then sprinkle water and vinegar on the rock, at the same time holding the head over it. After steaming the head in the above manner, care must be taken to avoid exposure to a free current of cold or damp air, which would check the perspiration suddenly, and in all probability do much more harm than the steaming had done good. If the symptoms are inflammatory, give cooling purges, such as cream of tartar, salts, castor oil, rheubarb, or any cooling cathartic. If the throat is sore, apply the red pepper poultice, or a poultice of onions or garlic, either of these poultices will give relief to the breast if applied to that part, in case of oppression from cold. If the patient is troubled with a cough, look under that head for a remedy; by turning to the index you will be referred to numerous valuable articles for coughs, some of which can be easily procured in all cases, I presume, with but very

little trouble or expense. The onion, garlic or pepper poultice, applied to the feet will also aid in produing a free perspiration. The following remedy, says Dr. Gunn, "has frequently afforded relief in cases where colds had nearly settled down into confirmed consumptions--take one tea spoonful of flaxseed, half an ounce of liquorice, and a quarter of a pound of raisons, put them into two quarts of rain water, and simmer the whole over a slow fire until you reduce the quantity to one quart; then prepare some candy made from brown sugar, and dissolve it in the quart of liquor. A half pint of this syrup is to be taken every night on going to bed, mixed with a little good vinegar to give it a slightly acid taste. This will certainly relieve a cold in a few days." The vinegar stew is also very good for colds, and should be prepared in the following manner: If the vinegar be very strong, add a little water, then put it on the fire until it becomes hot, then add a little butter and sweeten it well with honey This stew or syrup is good to relieve soreness in the breast, it is also good to check the cough arising from cold. A tea spoonful of paragoric or half that quantity of Bateman's drops may be added to the tea, which is to be drank for cold to great advantage.

INFLUENZA OR MALIGNANT SORE THROAT.
(Oh-ch-tlah-tsu-ni-sik-wah-his-lee.

        This dangerous disease is sometimes called putrid or ulcerous sore throat. The symptoms are, soreness of the throat, attended with fever. The swallowing becomes more and more difficult, the skin burning and disagreeably hot without the least moisture, the pulse very quick and irregular, it is also attended with nausea and sometimes vomiting, restlessness, great debility, the face becomes flushed, the eyes inflamed, and the neck stiff, the mouth and throat assumes a fiery red color, and the palate and glands of the throat become much swelled as the disease advances, the whole internal surface of the mouth and throat will become interspersed with brown or ash colored spots, which soon become so many ulcers discharging an acid matter; a similar matter runs from the nose, and escapes at the mouth, this matter soon affects the lips and neighboring parts, and in some instances the brown spots extend over the whole body, the tongue becomes covered with a thick brown fur and the breath very offensive; there

is generally a purging, and in many cases, a frequent dischatge of excoriating matter or fluid from the fundament. If the disease is not checked, the ulceration corrodes deeper and deeper extending down the alimentary canal, and if still suffered to proceed, they become gangrenous; a severe purging ensues, and death closes the painful scene. The following symptoms are unfavorable and denote a fatal termination; the feet and hands become cold, the eruptions suddenly disappear, or become of a dark livid color, the inside of the mouth and throat assume a dark hue, purging a black matter of a very offensive smell, the pulse becoming small, quick and fluttering, hurried breathing with frequent sighing; and a cold clamy sweat. On the contrary, the symptoms are favorable when the fever in some degree abates and the skin becomes gradually soft and moist, the breathing becomes more free and natural, the eyes assume a natural and lively appearance, the eruptions on the skin become of a reddish color over the whole body, and the parts which separate from the ulcers fall off easily, and leave the sores of a clean and reddish color, the tongue gradually becomes clean and clear of the dark fur with which it is covered. These are favorable symptoms and denotes the recovery of the patient.

        Putrid sore throat, is an infectious or catching disease; and hence it sometimes prevails as an epidemic, and generally makes its appearance in the fall or early part of the winter seasons, especially when preceded by a dry, hot summer. Children and persons of delicate constitutions are most liable to be the victims of this dangerous disease. Neglect of cleanliness, eating damaged provisions, breathing impure air, or whatever tends to produce putrid fevers, will predispose to an attack of this complaint. When relief is not had, this disease generally terminates fatally between the fourth and seventh day.

        TREATMENT.--This disease generally makes its appearance at the close of sultry seasons, when the system is much weakened by protracted exposure to intense heat and when people have been for some time exposed to breathing the putrid atmosphere arising from stagnant waters and decaying vegetables. This fact will at once show the impropriety of administering sever purges or drawing blood. The stomach must be cleansed by an emetic of gulver and Indian physic, and the bowels relieved

of their putrid contents by injections, of thin gruel or soap-suds, to which may be added hogs lard and a little gulver syrup; no cathartic stronger than castor oil or rheubarb should be taken into the stomach. Well prepared charcoal, taken twice or three times a day, will be of great benefit. The mouth and throat must be washed and gargled with a preparation made as follows: Take of cayenne pepper in powder, two table spoonfuls, a small quantity of catnip and half a spoonful of common salt: pour on them one pint of boiling water, let them stand a half hour and strain off the liquor and add to it a half a pint of good vinegar--the patient should also swallow a table spoonful of this preparation every fifteen minutes. If the patient should become very weak, bathe him well in a strong decoction of red-oak bark, in which may be put one-fourth whiskey. If the weakness be very considerable, give wine or toddy made with spirits and sweetened with sugar to strengthen and support the system. For an external application to the throat, use a poultice made by thickening rye-meal or wheat-brand in red pepper tea.-- After the stomach is cleansed, give Virginia snake root tea, (commonly called black snake-root,) or seneka snake-root tea freely. The bowels must be kept regular through the whole course by the use of injections. If the first emetic should fail to subdue the disease it should be repeated in moderation on the day following. By properly attending to the emetic, the acid matter may be thrown off, which would otherwise produce injury by descending into the bowels. The strength of the patient must be supported by a generous, nourishing and easily digested diet, comprising but little if any animal food.

PLEURISY.--Oh-ne-squah-ga-ni-tsu-na-his-na.

        SYMPTOMS.--An accute pain in the side, extending to the back, breast and shoulder, when the breath is drawn:--The pain is much increased by a short dry cough which generally attends it. Great difficulty is experienced in lying on the affected side. It is also attended with chills and fevers, great thirst and restlessness as in the inflamatory fever. The tongue is covered with a thick whitish fur. The urine is high colored, the face flushed, and the skin dry and hot; sometimes the cough increases, and a tough phlegm is spit up. The blood when drawn from the

arm and admitted to cool in the vessel, is covered with a scum or coat of a buffly color, which always denotes inflamation.

        The causes which predispose to an attack of this disease, are cold, lying on damp beds, exposure to free currents of damp air, wearing wet or damp clothes, sudden changes from heat to cold, sudden check of perspiration, suppression of periodical evacuations, or by the repulsion of eruptions. It may also arise from intemperance, great exertion in singing, speaking or playing on wind instruments

        TREATMENT.--It is an inflammatory disease, and therefore requires the immediate reduction of the inflammatory symptoms; for this purpose bleed freely according to the strength and constitution of the patient. If the pulse should remain full and hard after the first bleeding, and the pain be relieved for a short time and then return, you must bleed a second, third, and even the fourth time, where the inflammatory symptoms require it. After the first bleeding, apply cloths, wet with hot water to the pained part, as warm as can be borne, and bathe the feet in warm water. At the same time give a purge of epsom salts or gulver pills, and let the patient drink freely of a tea made of one-third of silk-weed root to two-thirds pleurisy root. If this tea should increase the fever to any considerable extent, it may be used in smaller quantities and the lancet again resorted to. For a description of the above roots, look under their different heads You will also see the mode of preparing the black or gulver pill under its proper head.-- After the inflammatory action is in a considerable degree overcome, seneka snake-root should be combined with the silk-weed root and pleurisy root. A full description of these roots may be seen under their proper heads. After the abatement of the fever, if the pulse should sink and the patient become very weak, you should stimulate him with warm toddy or wine, mixed with warm water and sugar. This must be done with the greatest caution, taking great care not to stimulate so as to produce a return of the fever. If the extremities should become cold, apply plasters of ground mustard-seed wet with vinegar to the wrists, ankles and feet. These plasters will aid greatly in raising the pulse, and is not so apt to produce a return of the inflammatory symptoms as a too free use of spirits. The bowels must be kept open through the whole course by cooling

purges; such as salts, castor oil, cream of tartar, or gulver pills. The cathartics should be aided by mild and cooling injections, such as thin gruel, well strained new milk and water, &c.

        For further information on this subject examine under the head of "Clystering Diets." The strictest abstinence from all kinds of animal food, must be observed in this disease. The diets and drinks must be such as will have a tendency to keep down fever, and such as the stomach will most easily digest. The drinks should consist of flaxseed tea, slippery-elm tea, toast-water, &c. They should be taken warm, a little gruel, panada, or milk and water with mush, may be taken for nourishment.

        When recovering from this disease, great care must be taken to avoid sudden changes, dampness, cold, and very particularly avoid exposure to night air, excessive use of ardent spirits, violent exercise, &c. As the reverse of the above precautions generally produce dangerous relapses. Flannel, or some warm dress should be worn next the skin.

DROPSY--Tsa-no-tis-scoh.

        Dropsy is a disease of the whole system, arising from debility or weakness. This opinion is sustained by many of the most distinguished physicians in the United States. Dr. Rush was of opinion, that dropsy was caused by a morbid action of the arteries, and an increased action of the exhalents; or in other words, by an inactive state of the arteries and an active condition of the vessels which throw off the sweat from the body. Dr. Shelton's opinion is the very reverse, he says: "Notwithstanding the great popularity of this opinion and the high regard I have for Dr. Rush, yet I cannot concur with him. I believe the cause to be an increased action of the arteries and a decreased action of the exhalents. For we generally find in a Dropsy a quick pulse, which certainly indicates an increased action of the arteries; from the great fullness and distention of the exhalents, we might reasonably suppose they were too much relaxed, or too inactive to throw out the fluids as fast as they were forced into them by the active motion of the arteries." I have given the opinions of the above writers for the reflection and entertainment of the reader. The opinion of Dr. Shelton, however, accords nearest with my own.

        SYMPTOMS.--Dropsy may easily be distinguished from other diseases, by the collection of water in some part of the body, and by the feet and ancles swelling, the flesh will have lost its elasticity, or in other words, when pressed upon by the finger the mark or impression will remain for some time after the finger is removed, the place where the impression was made being much paler than any other part. Among physicians, it is called by different names, according with the different parts of the system in which the water is deposited. When the water is seated in the cavities of the head or brain, the disease is called by physicians, Hydrocephalus. When seated in the cavity of the chest, it is called Hydrothorax; when in that of the belly, Ascites; when seated in the scrotum or bag of the privates, it is called Hydrocele; and when the water collects in the cellular membrane, which is situated between the flesh and skin, it is called Hydrocele. These different locations of Dropsy are manifested by somewhat different symptoms.

        Anasarea or Dropsy of the celular membrane, first gives symptoms of its approach by swelling of the feet and ankles; this swelling may be distinguished from other swellings in the manner above stated. The swelling extends by degrees to the thighs, trunk of the body, and finally to the head and face. The breathing becomes difficult, particularly when the patient lies down. A cough soon follows, and a watery mucous is spit up, the urine is high colored, and is voided in very small quantities, and when suffered to remain in the urinal or pot it deposites a reddish sediment; the bowels are costive, and the thirst great. These symptoms are suceeded by a dull torpor and slow fever.

        Ascites, or Abdominal Dropsy, is generally preceded by a loss of appetite, sluggishness, dryness of the skin, thirst, oppression of the chest, cough, decrease of urine, a swelling of the abdomen takes place, which increases gradually, as the disease advances. As the water accumulates, the breathing becomes more difficult, the countenance pallid and bloated, the thirst immoderate; the urine scanty, high colored; and deposites a brick colored sediment.

        Hydrothorax, or Dropsy of the Chest, generally comes on with a sense of uneasiness at the lower end of the breast bone, and difficulty of breathing, which is much increased

by exertion, or by lying down. It is attended with a cough. at first dry, but afterwards a thin mucous is spit up; as the disease advances, the thirst increases; the complexion becomes sallow; the feet and legs swell; the urine is voided in small quantities, high colored, and deposites a red sediment. The face and extremities become cold, the pulse feeble, and irregular; the sleep is much disturbed, frequent palpitations of the heart; a numbness extends from the heart towards one, and sometimes, both shoulders; the difficulty of breathing continues to increase until death ends the patient's sufferings. Hydrocephalus, or Dropsy of the Brain, is a disease common to children, and will be spoken of under the proper head.

        TREATMENT.--Cleanse the bowels with anti-billious pills, or some other purge. After the bowels are well cleansed, the patient should take the diuretic pill night and morning, three for a dose, or more if the constitution of the patient requires it; also drink bitters by putting a table spoonful of steeldust, and about four ounces of vervine root, into a half gallon of good spirits; of these bitters the patient should drink three or four times a day what the stomach will bear.

        ANOTHER REMEDY.--After the bowels have been cleansed as above directed, let the patient drink freely of cold water off of the root of Ah-squah-na-ta-quah. This herb is fully described in materia medica, and is an infallible remedy for Dropsy; the root should be bruized before it is put into the water, about a half ounce of the root to a quart. the water may be renewed until the strength is all extracted. There are no disagreeable consequences whatever produced by the use of this root.

        The Chalybeat pill, taken night and morning after the bowels have been cleansed, will effect a cure in most casses. A Dose in this case is one pill about the size of a summer grape.

        Diets must in all cases of Dropsy be of the lightest and simplest kind. When the patient begins to recover from Dropsy, the appetite in most cases becomes voracious and almost insupportable, and if the patient is permitted to indulge it, to effect a cure will be found impossible. Water gruel, rye mush and butter milk or something of the kind is the safest nourishment I have ever tried in cases of this kind.

        After the patient is freed from the water, extreme debility usually takes place. At this stage of the disease, the patient should continue whichever of the above treatments may have been adopted, and additionally use wine and a decoction of wild cherry-tree bark, or a decoction of Columbo root, or any other stimulant or tonic that may be most convenient.

        Dr. Gunn believes Dropsy to be an inflammatory disease and recommends bleeding freely, but goes on to speak highly of the advantages that have been derived from herbs of our own country, in this as well as other diseases. I quote the following from this author: "The following cures, which I shall notice, in the words of an experienced and distinguished physician, give evidence of the correctness of some of my introductory remarks, among which are the following: The discoveries of each succeeding day convinces, that the Almighty has graciously furnished man with the means of curing his own diseases, and there is scarcely a day, month or year which does not exhibit to us the surprising cures made by roots, herbs and simples, found in our own vegetable kingdom, when all foreign articles have utterly failed. The truth is, that the wise and beneficent Creator of the Universe, has made nothing in vain; and the time will come, when the apparently most useless and noxious plants, will be found eminently useful in the cure of diseases, which have hitherto baffled the profound skill, and most powerful energies of genius."--The following are the words of the author just alluded to: "I am knowing to two extremely distressing cases of Dropsy entirely relieved by means of the bark of common Elder. One a woman advanced in age, in the last stages of this disease, who lost a brother some short time previous, by the same complaint. The other a young woman, who had been for eighteen months confined to her bed, during four of which she was unable to lie down, and who is now wholy free from Dropsy, and recovering strength in a most surprising and unexpected manner. This young lady used the elder-barked-wine, at the instance of one of the most distinguished physicians of Boston, who had previously tried every known prescription without success, and the use of the elder bark entirely cured her. A great many other cases, less aggravated, have been cured by this bark. I have used it myself with unusual success,

and its immediate adoption by the afflicted, is truly important and deserving attention. The receipt is as follows: Take two handfuls of the green or inner bark of the white common elder, steep it in two quarts of Lisbon wine twenty-four hours--if this wine cannot be had, Teneriff or Maderia, will answer; take a gill every morning, fasting, or more if it can be borne on the stomach."

        We have never tried the above preparation of elder bark in wine, but having witnessed similar effects produced by the free use of the tea and decoction of this bark, we are bound to place full confidence in the above statements, and earnestly recommend its use to those who may be afflicted with this truly distressing complaint.

        Diets should consist of gruel, a little milk and mush, or something of a similar nature.

DYSPEPSY, OR INDIGESTION.
(Oh-ne-na-tse-tsunah-li-stoo-na.)

        SYMPTOMS--Are flatulency, defective appetite, palpitations of the heart, painful distention of the stomach and bowels. The last named symptoms greatly increased by eating a hearty meal or drinking spirituous liquors. This disease also extends its pernicious influence to the mind, which often becomes desponding and irritable, and the poor sufferer exhibits a peculiar anxiety of countenance. The sleep becomes disturbed and the urine high colored.

        CAUSES.--This disease originates in a great variety of causes. It arises in a great many instances, from a diseased state of the Liver as may be fully seen under that head. This lingering and painfully distressing malady is seldom to be met with among the Indians, owing, we suppose to the great simplicity of their diet, and the liberal exercise which they so generally take in the hunt, the chase, &c.; and the little use made by them of mercury in any form, or of strong minerals of any kind. This disease, on the contrary, appears to increase yearly among the whites. It seems to be a scourge upon the more refined portion of the human species, and one which refinement with all its charms, utterly fails to render agreeable, or in any respect desirable. It is to be found among all ranks and sexes; but when we meet with an individual who is afflicted with this torturing malady, and examine into his or her past life, the cause is generally obvious. An excessive use of

spirituous liquors of any kind, of tobacco, mercurial preparations, and other poisonous mineral substances used for medicines--improper diet, whether in kind or quality, inactivity of body, intense study, uneasiness, anxiety or grief, are all calculated in their nature to produce this painful disease. Dr. Carter, when speaking of the stomach, says. "It may be considered the great labratory or chemical workshop of the living power--where chemical operations upon our food and drink, are regularly performed, without effort, toil or study."

        Dr. Carter's statement respecting the stomach, shows at once the great necessity of regulating the food and drink according to the strength of this "chemical workshop."--The usual practice of over loading the stomach with high-seasoned, indigestible food, and a too free use of ardent spirits, injures its tone, and renders it incapable of performing its functions in a healthy manner. If Indigestion arises from a diseased state of the liver, there will also be felt a dead, heavy pain in the right side, also in the shoulder, and back of the neck. The urine on being deposited in a urinal or pot, will have in the bottom when cool, a reddish colored seddiment. The complection will become of a tawny or yellowish hue. The feet and hands, when held in one position, for a short time will become asleep for want of a free circulation of the blood. Great uneasiness will be felt throughout the whole system, and it is sometimes attended with vomiting. When these last named symptoms occur, you must refer to the proper treatment of the disease of the liver, &c.

        TREATMENT.--For common Dyspepsy, the patient must first sum up all the resolution which it is in his power to command, in order to regulate his diet with th
