it will be necessary, in addition to either of the former plans, to give the organ tone and strength, by employing one or other of the subjoined pills, adopting them in the order in which they stand. Take of Sulphate of Zinc 10 grains—powder. Rhubarb, Powdered 20 grains. Extract of Gentian, sufficient to make a mass, which divide into thirty pills, one to be taken three times a day. Take of Nitrate of Silver (Lunar Caustic) 3 grains—powder. Quinine 4 grains. Ginger 6 grains. Mix well, and add extract of camomile sufficient to make a mass, which divide into twenty-four pills, one to be taken three times a day. When flatulence is attended with a sense of coldness in the stomach, a tea-spoonful of Gregory’s powder, with ten grains of soda, may be taken in a little aromatic water before breakfast each morning. DYSPEPSIA, Or indigestion, is that impaired condition of the stomach when the food is only half or imperfectly digested; producing want of appetite, a sense of distension, debility, headache, languor, want of sleep, and all those constitutional symptoms that usually attend an overtaxed and weakened stomach. _Treatment._—To effect a perfect restoration in the tone of the stomach, an entire change in the mode of diet is absolutely necessary, also in the habits and pursuits of the patient: the stomach must first be emptied and slightly stimulated by an emetic, or by a few alterative doses of blue pill and rhubarb, and the system submitted to a regular course of such tonics as infusion of camomile with carbonate of soda, gentian with potass, and, after a time, infusion of quassia with a few drops of muriatic acid. The food should be at first light and simple, and comprise the most solid aliments, and such as will compel a long mastication before swallowing; all drinks or stimulants with the meal being strictly prohibited till the salivary glands yield of themselves enough saliva to macerate the food; and this can only be effected by a long and perfect mastication. DYSENTERY. This is a disease more common in hot climates than cold ones, and both in its type and character approaches much more nearly than any other disease, to cholera. Dysentery is either the result of a congestive state of the bowels, or it proceeds from a chronic inflammation of the lining membrane of the colon. _Symptoms._—Dysentery commences with shivering, a griping flatulent state of the bowels, frequent discharges of mucus, or blood and mucus, and often blood alone; with loss of appetite, sickness, fever, and great debility.
