    Flatulency. Gentle laxatives, moderate exercise, and a careful diet, are the only remedies for this unplesant dis- ease, which is either occasioned by intemperance or costiveness. Gout. The patient should abstain from all fermented and spirituous liquors, and be very moderate in the use of wine ; all fat, rancid, and salted provi- sions, as well as all high seasoned dishes, should be carefully avoided. Barley-bread should be eaten constantly. Absorbent powders of two scruples of magnesia, and four grains each of purified kali and rhubarb, should be taken during the intervals of the gouty fits, and repeated every other morning for several weeks. The feet should be kept moderately warm. A gentleman of the name of Reynolds, has lately discovered a cure for this dreadful disorder. Gravel. This disease is sometimes occasioned by the gout and rheumatism; it is also promoted by the use of sour liquors, food that is difficult of digestion, espe- cially cheese, and by a sedentary life. Respiration should be promoted by gentle, methods ; constant temperance should be observed in respect to the food, and moderate exercise should be taken. For medicine take the juice of horse radish, made into a thin syrup, mixing it with sugar, of which take a spoonful every four hours. Heartburn. Stale liquors, and flatulent food, will promote this disease, consequently they should be avoided.
