The uterus may directly influence the system, producing much irritation, and many disordered actions, and so doubtless may the stomach and liver ; but I question whether these different organs, do not more frequently cause sympathetic disorders, through the medium of the intestines. Even, in many cases of dyspepsia, perhaps in most, not dependent on organic disease, the com- plaint is referrible to the intestines; increased secretion of bile, acidity in the stomach, sickness and headach, depend...ing 248 more on the state of the bowels, than on primary disorders of the stomach. Hence, dyspeptic patients are sure to suffer, if they take much liquid, or soups, or acidifiable diet, or aliment which passes easily out of the stomach, and is pos- sessed of a gentle laxative quality ; for, thereby, the intestines are excited to a hurtful, but not to a sufficient degree ; they are irritated, but not stimulated to efficient action. A diet too light is, therefore, equally bad, in such cases, with one which is heavy and indigestible ; and that diet is best, which neither passes too readily, through the changes to be pro- duced on it, in the stomach, nor resists too long, nor runs rapidly into acetous fermentation.
