 Proofs in abundance, of the most positive character, could be adduced suppr Of the fact that disease of the Liver IS but secondary dsease-a disease pre- duced by disease of the stomach.

And is not that same rnncus membrane in an already overexcled and ove-stimualed condition, and from which over-sm,- lated and ilfamed condition, the disease of the Liver was produced In the first place fl strikes me that those who have heretofore expended the pill and biters treatment to cure them of their |" Liver Dis ease, can now see why Il IS that they have only received no benefit from such treatment, hut are, ia fact, worse If than when they adopted it.
