Derangements Of the Liver s. Stomach,

are sources Of insanity. From disorder or OBJ
struction morbid action of the sympathetic
aud other nerves follows, and the functions OF
the brain are impaired and deranged; derange-
ment there will also produce diseases Of the
heart, skin, lungs and kidneys. 1t IS owing to
the same cause that thousands die with Chole-
"a, Bilious or Yellow Fever, and that most
baneful disease, Consumption.
The general want of success in treating dis
eases of the liver and stomach, has not been a
deficiency Of pathological knowledge of their
functions-but Of a suitable compound that
would act upon the disease and all the sympa-
thetic affections. That has been gained in these
Btters and they can be used by persons with
perfect safcty-as they at no time debitatc the
patient, but give strength and increase the ner-
vous energy They can be taken at all times
and under all circumstances. No ordinary cX-
posure will prevent them having salutary eff
feet, and no bad effect can result from an over
dose.
If patients will perseyere in the use of this
remedy and use il strictly according to direc-
tons. it will cure the foregoing diseases in eve
ry instance if not beyond the power of medi-
cine; it has caused many to enjoy the blessing OF
renewed health, and in maay desperate and a
