YuNIIE health and vigor Of The human frame
u depend entirely on the digestion the d'-
gestion on the hillary secretions. IL IL obvious
therefore, that any cause operating TO ''iiats
these secretions must, Of course, be productive
Of derangen and disease throughout the sys-
tenn.
The liver is the largest gland in the body. and
rom its minute and tardy circulation, The seat
Of disease is much oiiner attached 10 that organ
than il suspected. Bilious disorders are Insdi-
Gus in their attacks, slow in progress and much
varied in symptoms. Hence many fall victims
to them from the nature Of the disease not beng
scasonably detected, or properly treated where
by the chain Of diseased action becomes strength
ened and The links more difficult 10 be broken
So general is the prevalence of Liver Complaint,
that this organ is probably the seat oi most an
n,enis unattended W h Febrile action and that
the grand source Of health und disease Is con-
necIed with the healthy or disordered function OF
the Liver. and also, that almost every chrome
er lingering disease arises from some deiect
there.
The symptoms arising from chronic diseases
of the Liver are so various almost 10 battle de-
scription. They do not all appear in any ind-
vidual case, but show themselves in different per-
sons in great variety both in extent, number and
degree, as tho disorder exists in every gradallon
50 slight as to cause no alarm, beng nothing
more than lulness after meals, with some sore
ness Of the bowels, a disposition TO drowsiness;
erections Of wind, ringing in The cars, dizziness
Of the head, coldness Of the extiemities, followed
by burning In the soes Of the feet and palms Of
The hands, an unpleasant and sinking sensation
in the pit Of the stomach Some cases are at
tended with watchfulness, or unrefresbing sleep
disturbed by dreams. Pain, also in either side,
most frequently in the left, extending 10 Tho
shoulder blades. The mind is often irelnl and
irriiated by the most trhng causes; The memory
becomes impaired and there is general disin-
clination for bodily or mental eAertion. Tho
stomach syiDpatbizes, and is so much disturbed
as TO lead the patient TO suppose that his COM
plants arise from AN affection OF this organ,
while it is only affected by being in the vicinity
Of the real disease.
There is often loss Of appetite, nt other times
an unnatural craving for food.

Gus or sickly hue.-N Many other symptoms might
be named, but those already enumerated are The
most prominent and common.
