DISEASES OF THE LIVER.

sgy- When the celebrated Dr. Rush declared that drunkenness was a disease, he enuncated truth which the experience and observation of medical men is every day confirming. The many apparently in sane excesses of those who indulge in the of sp rituous iquors may be thus accounted for The true cause of conduct which is taken for infatuation, is very frequently diseased state of the Liver No organ in the human system when deranged, produ- ces more frghtful catalogue of diseases And if, instead of applying remedies to the manifestations of disease as is too often the case physicians would pre- scribe with view to the original cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by deranged state of the Liver. Three -fourhs of the diseases enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat in deceased Liver (See Dr. Gunns great works.)
