Stomach — (to strengthen)

CND-0134Stomach and bowels

Printed in the 1850 edition’s “A List of the Principal Diseases” as “—— (to strengthen)” under “Stomach” (the dash stands for the heading above it, or its first word); shown here as “Stomach — (to strengthen)”.

Modern literature has not yet been searched for this heading’s claims: it comes only from the 1850 index and has no search words yet.
