WHAT ARE THE TRUE INDICA-
NV TONS OF TREATMENT IN DISEASES OF
As regards that class of disease so often termed Liver
Disease, it is scarcely possible to say too much
which has for its object stimulation of the secre-
ton of the Liver that is to make the Liver pour out
stimulating calomel, blue pill patent pill and bittcrs
treatment remedies which act and can only act the
Liver but by first stimulating the mucous membrane of
the stomach, and by doing not only do good but
positive harm by eXasperatlg the mfammatory action
Of that mucous membrane which was the first great cause
As regards Liver Disease being kept up by infamma-
ton OF the stomach there need not be the slightest sha
ow of doubt for there is not has been,
ever will be, case Of Liver Disease but that in
necon with it are most prominent symptoms of nfam-
nation of the stomach, and upon inquiry it will also be
ascertaned that the stomach symptoms existed long be-
fore any disease discovered III the Liver Question
any invalid suffering from Liver Disease, regards the
early history OF his complaint and he will almost nvaria
bly, refer to trouble in the digestive organs and
proceed to narae symptoms that give unmiStakable evil
dehce that previous to the Liver Disease there was
positive arrangement Of the stomach Question the in
wand suffering from Liver Disease and five out OF every
Yen nc WIN describe as suffering rom VIII give
the most positive assurance that disease Of the stomach
is also existing in connection with disease the liver
AGAIN III every curable case OF Liver Disease, no mat
ter how stubborn be its character how long has
resisted medical treatment let well-drected treatment

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 (the stomach disease

Proofs in abundance of the most positive character

the Liver Is out secondary diseased disease produced
by disease OF the stomach IT, then, all this trouble has
its rise and origin in Inflammation the mucous mem

ment that still further stimulates n membrane already
over stimulated and mfned: How the secretons OF
the Liver stimulated? By first exciting irritating the
for the purpose of stimulating Liver do not and can
not touch the Liver at all is physically impossible for
them to do can only stimulate the Liver but by
first stimulating or irritating the membrane the
stomach. And is not that mucous membrane in an
already over-eNcted and over-stimuated condition. and
from which overstmuated and infamed condition the
disease OF the Liver produced in the first place?
strikes me at those who have heretofore depended on
the pill and bitters treatment TO them OF their
Liver Disease, can now why it is that they not
oF received no dement, from such treatment, but are
in fact worse off than when they adopted it, And it also

Whlch VIII remove the cause of the disease viz.the in
mandatory action Of the mucus membrane OF the
stomach. ANY other treatment than this will ever rne
OF not the least particle Of benefit The idea prescribing
for the Liver alone and taking no th0ught Of th nnI
ton of the stomach, is perfectly ridiculous one and the
idea Of efectng through the those remedies
that stimulate the secretions the height of empvri-
cs- for every dose taken will just much the more eX
asperate the disease, by still further irritating in
flaming already over-excited and inHamGd m1c,Is
membrane of the stomach 1t is fact beyond any cavil
That any and all remedies taken into the stomach for the
purpose OF stimulating the secretons Of the Liver
will not and cannot fail to irritate the mucus membrane
Of the Stonach for il is by this irritation that the Liver
excited or stimulated; and unless they did produce
s irritation OF the stomach it would be mpOSsiblity
Or them to effect any change in the SecretiGns OF the
Liver. inns Is fact from which there is no getting awav

they can strike at the Liver 0Htg through the stomach
