which gives rise to it. The tendency to convert every thing into an acid that exists in the stomachs of these patients, is generally too obstinate to be easily removed; it will require a long perseverance in the plan here laid down in order to eradicate the disease. Indeed I would recommend them never to drink any malt liquor without a portion of the Carbonate of soda, or some other alkaline salt in it, and to pay the greatest attention to regularity and choice of diet. One of the draughts, No. 1 or 2, or any thing of the same nature which may be found more agreeable, should be taken whenever the dyspeptic symptoms are at all urgent, and repeated as often as occasion may require. Costiveness should be always obviated by such means as the patient finds most agreeable to himself. If the constant use of the Soda will not keep the bowels sufficiently open, aperients must be had recourse to, and the draught, No. 3, will, I think, answer the purpose sufficiently, if not, its strength maybe increased. Where there is much languor and debility, with loss of appetite, I would recommend the _Pilulæ Ferri Comp._ of the London Pharmacopæia, and a decoction of bark, or infusion of Gentian or Quassia, but the cure cannot be wholly entrusted to tonics. By steadily persisting in the plan above laid down, I have succeeded in bringing this monster under some kind of control, so as to be able to commit myself to the arms of sleep with a degree of confidence unknown to me for years before; and if in consequence of irregularity, fatigue or ill health, I am occasionally visited by this fiend of darkness, I fly with equal confidence to the antidote, which fails to chase him from my couch. What has been said with respect to the treatment of Night-Mare, will apply equally to the other kinds of disturbed sleep which I have noticed in this work. They originate from the same cause, and will be removed by the same remedies. In children, frightful dreams frequently result from worms, and consequently will be remedied by any kind of treatment which removes the worms themselves, and with them the trash which forms their nest. This trash of itself frequently exists without the worms, and produces all the symptoms which they occasion, and amongst others, Night-Mare and disturbed sleep. By the treatment above recommended it will be evacuated, and its further formation prevented. If any unfortunate sufferer from this distressing complaint shall obtain relief by the method here laid down, the end of writing this little Treatise will be fully answered, which is to restore the blessings of repose to those who are deprived of it by this hideous fiend.
