WHAT ARE THE TRUE INDICA-
w TIONS OF TREATMENT IN Diseases OF

w TI0NS OF TREATMENT IN DISEASES OF
As regards that class of disease often termed Liver
Disease is scarcely possible to say TOO much
nent which has for its object stimulation secre
on of the Liver; that is to make the Liver pour out
bile. Too much can scarcely be sad against the
stimulating calome blue pill, patent pill ana bitters
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which act and can only act on the
Liver but by first stimulating tue mucous membrane 81
tile stomach and by doing not only do no good, but
positive HARM by eXasperatng the nhammatory action
Of that mucus membrane which was the rst great cause
of the disease OF the Liver
As regards Liver Disease" being kept up by nfamma-
ton of the stomach there need not be the slightest shad
of doubt, for there not now, never has BEEN nor
ever will be- of Liver Disease, but that in CON
nectiOn with it most prominent symptoms Of infanl-
nation of the stomach, and upon inquiry It VIII also be
fore any disease was discovered in the Liver Question
any invalid suffering from Liver Disease, regards the
bly, refer you trouble in the digestive organs and
proceed to naate symptoms that give umistakable eNl-
dence that previous to the Liver Disease there was
positive arrangement of the stomach Question the IN
valid suffering from Liver Disease and five out OF every
ten symptoms he will describe suffering from, will give
most positive that disease OF the stomach
is also existing in connection with disease of the liver
Again in every durable of Liver Disease, mat
how stubborn may be its character how long it has
resisted medical treatment let well-rected treatment
instituted for the disease of the stomach and the Liver
Disease will vanish like dew before the rising sun
Why? Because that which caused the Liver Disease,
and that which has been the OF its continuance has
been remoyed-cured. The 1.-THE stomach dsease)
9Sns6 removed the eject 'he Liver Disease VIII soon
Proofs in abundance, the most positive character,
could he adduced in support of the fact that disease Of
the Liver is but secondary sease-a disease produced
bA, N q |
its rise and origin in Inflammation OF the mucus mem
ment that sti further stimulates a membrane already
over Stimulated and nnanedY How are the secretions
fine Liver stimulated? v first exciting or Irritating the
nuc1s membrnne of the stomach The remedies taken
for the nurnose Of stimulating he Liver do not and can
not touch fine Liver at nits physically imposSbe for
them To do soand can only stimulate the Liver hut bv
first stimniotin ar IRRITATING te uneus membrane Of the
stomach And is NOT that same mucous membrane in an
already over-excited and OyprsmuIaed condition and
from which oyerstinlUined and nti9med condition the
disease of tbe Liver was uroduccd i'm the first place. II
strikes me that those who have heretofore depended on
the pilI and sbtters treatment TO cure them OF their
81 liver Disease cam now soc why il is that they have moi
only received no benefit from sucb n treatment lint are
in fact worse of than when they adOped it, And it also
strikes me that those who have as they so very uo-
comfy say nnced thpir ver medicines in the shane of
before the neonIe only nj the very earnest soc
taon of their friends fearing that bv doing so they NAV
be ranked among the nuumcrblp class of empyrcs had
better look well to the theory they advocate or 1.-The pco-
pe will very readily discover the Lions skim and alix
the title of empyc where it, in So much good faith
belongs
What are the true indications of treatment? Those
tIammatorv action Of the mucns nembrane Of the
stomach ANY other treatment than this will ever prove
not the least particle of benefit The idea of prescribing
for the Liver alone and taking no Thought Of the con
ton of the stomach is perfectly ridiculous one and te
idea of eectng cure through the use of those remedies
that stimulate Inc sccreons is the hpi,i of emnvri
cs, for every dose taken will just much the more
asperate the disease, by S further irritating and i'll
flaming an already uver-eXcited and nilamed mucous
membrane OF the stomach II is fact beyond any cavl,
mat any ana all remedies taken INTO the stomach for the
