      \ 7 IEWS on INDIGESTION as the GRAND V SOURCE of GENERAL NERVOUS DISTURBANCE . By JAMES COCKLE , Surgeon . 'Tis strange the body thus should sway the spirit-That when our grosser parts are out of tune , They , like some demon-spell , enchant the mind , Making &U discord there . " The influence of a disordered condition of the body over the operations of the mind had not escaped the observation of our great poet ; and there is certainly no class of disorders in which this mysterious sympathy is more frequently developed than in those of the stomach and liver . It must be unhesitatingly conceded that good digestion is essentially requisite to sound health ; for no sooner arc its important instruments weakened , oppressed , or otherwise out of tune , than the entire harmony of the constitution is destroyed ; the nervous system becomes morbidly sensitive , producing in the body pain , spasms , &c , and affecting the mind by disturbing the quiet of the night with uneasy dreams or nightmare , and tinging even our waking hours with sadness . To those who suffer Irom indigestion In all its varied forms , with torpid liver , inactive bowels , &c , and which by neglect often lead on to confirmed disease , Mr . COCKLK'B ANTIBIUOUS PILL 8 cannot be too strongly recommended , as by combining aromatic , tonic , and aperient properties , they remove all oppressive accumulations , regulate the secretion of the liver , strengthen the stomach , induce a healthy appetite ,-and impart tranquillity to the nervous system . 18 , New Ormond-street , London . May be had of all respectable medicine vendors , at Is . lid ,, 2 s . lid ., and 4 s . Cd . each . Of whom also may be had , COCKLE ' S INFLUENZA AND COUGH LOZENGE ; A most efficacious , safe , and agreeable preparation , for the relief and cure of influenza , colds , coughs , hoarseness , chronic bronchitis , asthma , &c , complaints which arc so troublesome , and peculiurly harassing at the present season .
