WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US? a thief at night it steals in upon us un awares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a ood taste, especially in the morning. A sort ot sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach: sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes arc sunken, the hands and feet become cold and fed clammy. After a while a cough sets in— at first dry, but after a few months is attended with a greenish colored expectoration. The afflicted one feds tired a 1 the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and nis evil foie’ odi gs. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when risi n' upsuddenly. The bowe's beco ■ e cos live; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant ; the whites of the eyes becone tinged with yellow, the orire is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is f equen ly attended with palpita tion of the heart; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration-and weakness. All of these are in turn present It is thought tot nearly one-third of our popn’ation has this ' |n some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken be nature of this disease. Some have treated t for a liver complaint, others for kidney JitMiy, eta, eta, bus none of the various kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmoniously upon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well; for in Dyspcpia (for this is really what the disease is) ail of these organs pat take of this disease and require a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. Seigel’s Curative syrup acts like a charm m this class of complaints, giving almnaf imm-diate relict The following letters hom chemists of standing in the community vhere they live show in what estimation the . rticle is held.
