A WELL regulated and proportionate
In quantity of bile upon the stomach is
always requisite for the promotion of sound
health-it stimulates digestion, and kee 2s
the Observation-Disclosures fromall distractions.
On the inferior surface of the liver is pc
culiar bladder, in which the bile is first pre-
served, being formed by the liver from the
blood. Thence it passes into the stomach
and iGtestines, and rogulatesthei indigestion.
Thus we see when there is deficiency of
bile, the body is constantly costve. On the
other hand, an overabundance of bile, caus-
es frequent nausea in the stomach; and Of
ten promotes very severe attacks of disease,
which sometimes end in death.
Fevers are always preceded by symptoms
of a disordered stomach; as are also serofu.
ous disorders, and all sympathetic Junction.
al, organic or febrile diseases. From the
same cause, the natural and healthy action
ofthe heart, and the whole vascular system
is impaired and reduced below its natural
standard; as exhibited in palpitatlons, lam
guild pulse, torpors of the limbs, syncope,
and even death itself, in consequence OF an
overabundance of peculiar offensive sub
stance tn the digestive organs
The approach of bilious diseases is at all
times attended by decided symptoms Of an
existing diseased state of the stomach and
bowels; i. e. with those signs which are
known TO point out their contents to be of a
morbid irritating nature; but whenever the
alimentary canal happens to be loaded with
irritating matter, some arrangement of the
healthy operation, either of the general sys-
TEN, or of some particular organ of the body
is the certain result; and when this state
happens to be united with any other symp-
toms of disease, its effects are thereby much
aggravated. The progress of organic OBJ
struction is often so rapid as scarcely to adj
NIT of time for the application of such aids
as is to be offered by art, yet, in general, the
premonitory symptoms of gastric load are
perceptible for day or two previous to the
feverish paroxism, period, when the most
efhcacious assistance may be given, by an
loading the stomach and alimentary canal
of its irritating contents, and thus reducing
the susceptibility ofdisease.
MOFFAT'S LIFE MEDICINES,
Should always be taken in the early stages
of bilious complaints; and if persevered in
strictly according TO the directions, will pos
lively effect cure.
The mineral medicines often prescribed
IN these diseases, although they may affect
a temporary cure, at the same time create
an unhealthy state of the blood, and conse.
quently tend to promote return of the very
disease which they are employed to cure
1t is then by the use of purgativcs, exclu-
sively formed ofvegetable compounds, which,
possessing within themselves no deleterious
agencies, which decomposition, combination
or alteration can develope or bring into ac-
ton; and therefore CAPABLE of prodncinG ma
effect, save that which is desired-that a
safe remedy is found.
The LIFE PILLS and PHENIY BIT
TIERS have proved to be the most happy in
their effects in cases of bilious Diseases, of
any purely vegetable preparation ever of
fered to the public. If the stomach is foul,
they cleanse it by exciting IT to throw off its
contents; if not, they pass to the duodenum
without exciting vomiting or nausea in the
stomach; stimulating the neighboring vicera
as the liver and pancras, so as to produce a
more copious flow Of their secretions into the
intestines; stimulating the exhalent capil-
laries, terminating in the inner coat, which
an increased flow of the useless PARTICLES of
the body, foreign matters, or retained secre-
tions, are completely discharged.

cine see MoFFAT's Coon SAMARITAN, a COPY
