    Nausea, or Want of Appetite. This is generally, in my opinion, rather a symptom of other diseases, than a disease of itself; l| particularly of the Asthma, Dropsy, Hypochondria, Melancholy and Nervous Complaints, Gout, &c.: for when the humours are corrupted, and the spirits :j depressed, as in malignant diseases, the faculty of j digestion is impaired ; for nature in general seems so ] intent upon expelling another disease, as to neglect j this. Begin the cure with a vomit of about 20 grains l! of ipecacuanha ; a course of the Cordial Balm of Gilead; exercise; early rising ; temperance; and the cold bath. These being observed, the cure will soon be obtained.
