"A WELL regulated and proportionate
quantity of bile upon the stomach is
always requisite for the promotion of sound
health-it stimulates digestion, and kee os
the intestinal canal free from all distractions.
On the inferior surface of the liver is a Pc
culiar bladder, in which the bile is first pre-
served, being formed by the liver from the
blood. Thence it passes into the stomach
and intestines, and regulates the Indigestion.
Thus we see when there is deficiency of
bile, the body is constantly costive. On the
other hand, an oyerabundance of bile, caus-
es frequent nausea in the stomach; and Of
ten promotes very severe attacks of disease,
which sometimes end in death.


Fevers are always preceded by symptoms
of dsordered stomach; as are also serofu-
lous disorders, and all sympathetic function
al, organic or febrile diseases. From the
same cause, the natural and healthy action
ofthe heart, and the whole vascular system
is impaired and reduced below its natural
standard; as exhibited in palpitatlons, lam
guild pulse, torpors of the limbs, syncope,
and even death itself, in consequence of an
overabundance of a peculiar offensive sub
stance to the digestive organs.


The approach of bilious diseases is at all
times attended by decided symptoms of an
existing diseased state of the stomach and
bowels; i. e. with those signs which are
!. known to point out their contents to be of a
morbid irritating nature; but whenever the
alimentary canal happens to be loaded with
irritating matter, some arrangement of the
healthy operation, either of the general sys-
tenn, or of some particular organ of the body
is the certain result; and when this state
happens to be united with any other syfnp-
toms of disease, its effects are thereby much
aggravated The progress of organic OBJ
slruction is often SO rapid as scarcely to adj
init of time for the application of such aids
as is to be offered by art, yet, in general, tie
premonitory symptoms Of gastric load are
perceplible for day ortwo previous to the
feverish paroxisin, period, when the most
eficacious assistance may be given, by un-
loading the stomach and aIimentary canal
of its irritating contents, and thus reducing
the susceptibility. Ofdisease.
