    Cibi certae species quibusdam palpitationes af- ferunt. Senac hominem cognovit, cui post coffaeam epotam palpitationes semper adfuerunt. Malpighus sine accessione hujus morbi legu- mina nunquam devorare potuit. Doctor Hamilton sic dicit *, Palpitation of the heart is not an uncommon attendant on dis- orders of the stomach,—it is to be considered, in- deed, as a symptom of dyspepsia. On some oc- casions, when it has been of long standing, and so violent and persevering as to have been the immediate cause of death, no organic disease has been discovered to which it might be referred. Doctor Guegory, in Praelectionibus suis, ait, quod ex quinquaginta qui palpitatione laborant, quadraginta et novem esse solere in quibus signa c cum ejus aut pericardii cavum, sed cum subjecta intes- tina occupant, et ventriculum. Quae saepe flatus disten- dunt adeo, ut septo transverso, et huic incubanti cordi incommodent; sic autem manifesto patet, quod in scho- liis, observationem illam additis xviii. semel, itcrum, ac tertio inculcatur, flatibus erumpentibus, levari aut solvi palpitationem.
