W CATIONS OF TREATMENT IN. DIS.
EASES OF THE LIVER As regards that class
Of disease so often termed oliver Disease,"it is
scarcely possible to say too much concerning the
treatment usually instituted for its cure-a treat
ment which has for its object the stimulation Of
the secretion of the Liver, that is, to make the
Liver pour out more bile. Too much can scarcely
be said against the stimulating calome, blue pill,
''patent' pill, and "btters' treatment, remedies
which act and can only act on the Liver but by
first stimulating the mucus membrane Of the stom-
ach, and BY so doing not only do no good, but a
positive harm, by exasperating the inaamatory
action that mucus membrane which was the first
great cause Of the disease Of the Liver.
As regards silver Disease" being kept up BY
Inflammation of the stomach there need not be the
slightest shadow of doubt, for there is not now,
never has been, nor ever will be, a case Of "Liver
Disease" but 4hat in connection with it are most
prominent symptoms of Inflammation Of the stom-
ach, and upon ipguiry it will also be ascertained
that the stopd ssmptoms existed long before
any disease lfiscovered in the Liver. Question
any invalid suffering from "1irer Disease as re-
CARDS the carly history of his complaint, and he
will almost invariably refer you you to some trou-
BILE in the digestive organs, and proceed to mar
rate symptoms that give unmistakable evidence
that previous to the oliver Disease" there was
positive arrangement Of the stomach. Question
the invalid suffering from "Liyer Disease" and
five out of every ten symptoms he will describe as
suffering from, will give the most positive assur-
ance that disease of the stomach is also existing
in connection with the disease Of the liver. Again,
in any curable case of oliver Disease" no matter
how stubborn may be its character. or how long it
has resisted medical treatment, let well-direced
treatment be instituted for the disease of the stom
ach, and the oliver Disease" will vanish like dew
before the rising sun. Why? Because that which
caused the '.Liver Disease" and that which has
been the cause of its continuance, has been remo-
The cause 1.-THE stomach disease) he
ing removed, the effect the Liver Disease) will
soon vanish.
Proofs in abundance, Of the most positive char
acer, could be adduced in support of the fact that
disease of the Liver is but secondary disease
produced by disease Of the stomach If, then, all
this trouble has its rise and origin in inflammation
of the mucus membrane Of the stomach, what will
be thought of trcamcnt that still further stimu-
lates membrane already over-stimulated and in
famed How are the sccretons of the Liver slim
ulated? By first exciting or irritating the mucus
membrane of the stomach. The remedies taken for
the purpose of stimulating the Liver, do not and
cannot touch the Liver Mt oil! it is physically i'm
possible for them to do so and can only stimulate
the Liver but by first stimulating or irritating the
mucus membrane Of the stomach. And is not
that same mucus membrane in an already over
excited and over stimulated condition, and from
which over. stimulated and infamed condition,
the disease of the Liver was produced in the first
place? 1t strikes me that those who have hereto
fore depended on the "pilr' and ''bitters" treat
ment to cure them of their "Lyer Disease" con
now see why it is that they have not only received
no benefit from such treatment, but are, in fact,
worse off than when they adopted it. And it also
strikes me- that those who have, as they so very
say, placed their Liver medicines in
the shape of a "patent" before the people only at
the very earnest solicitation of their friends fear
ing that by doing SO they may be ranked among
the innumerable class Of empyrics, had better
look we'll to the theory they advocate or 1.-THE
people, will very readily discover the "lons skin"
and afi1 the title Of empyric, where it, in so much
good faith, belongs
What are the true indications Of treatment p
Those which will remove the cause Of the disease,
viz.-the inaammatory action of the mucus men,
brane of the stomach. ANY other treatment than
this, will ever prove of not the least particle of
benefit. The idea of prescribing for the Liver
alone, and taking no thought of the condition Of
the idea Of effecting o cure through the use Of
those remedies that stimulate the secretions," is
the height of empyricism, for every dose taken
will just so much the more exasperate the disease
by still further irritating and inhaming an already
over-excited and infamed mucus membrane Of
the stomach. 1t is q fact beyond any cavil, that
any aud all remedies taken into the stomach for
the purpose Of ''stimulating the secretions Of the
Liver" will not and cannot fail to irritate the mu
Gus membrane of the stomach: for it is by this ir
ritaton that the Liver is exci.ed or stimulated; :;
and unless they did produce this irritation of the
stomach, it would be an impossibilty for them to
effect any change in the secretions Of the Liver
This is fnet from which there's no getting away,
and the pill venders know it very well; they know
that they can strike at the Liver only through the
and the blow aimed at the Liver, falling
as it does upon q WORKOUT, exhausted and infla-
med mucus membrane of the stomach, cannot fail
to exasperatc the disease of the Liver because it
exasperntes the disease which was the first great
cause of the Liver Disease
This doctrine, il / am well aware, at total vari-
ance with that advocated by many "big guns" in
the ''patent" line and the attempt to controvert
doctrine put forth with so much vehemence by
them, may, by some, be regarded rs an act of not
only no little daring, but bare-taced assumption.

free and full privilege to exercise the high prerog
