SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.
FOR 1Hs CURE CR

DAIN in the right side, under the edge Of
the ribs, increase on pressure; sometimes
the pain is in the left side; the patient is
rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder blade,
and it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes. mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is
affected with loss of appetite and sickness,
the bowels in general are costive, sometimes
alternative with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is gene
rally considerable loss Of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of having
left undone something which ought to have
been done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient complains
of WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily startled,
his feet are cold or burning, and he COM
plains of a prickly sensation Of the skin !;
his spirits are low; and although he is salts
fed that exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several of the above symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet examination
of the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively derangcd.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr.. MLANE's Liver Pills, IN CASES OF
AcuE AND FEVER, when taken with Oninine,
are productive of the most happy results. No
better cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would advise
all who are afflicted with this disease to give
them A FAIR TRIAL.

the train reached point miles east Of here
an explosion took place beneath the engine,
covering it with dirt and gravel, and slight

train to the spot it was discovered that a
keg of powder had been buried between the
rails, which was exploded in some unknown
manner. When the engine passed over it
the explosion occurred on an embankment,

The New p. o. Stamps an d Eau
vclOpeS.

A number of our friends in the country
ask il the old style of stamps and stamped
envelopes arc no longer good in their re-
spective localities. We answer that the old
stamps are good at all offices in Illinois and
Indiana which may not be earlier supplied
with the new, until the first Of October next;
and tho old envelopes are good at all offices
not earlier supplied with the new, until the
10th Of September. In Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan, the old envelopes
are good until October 1st, and the old stamps
until October 10Th, except at offices which
arc supplied with thenew prior to those dates.
In every instance in which post Office is
supplied with the new stamps and stamped
envelopes, the postmaster will, undoubtedly,
be instructed to exchange the new for the
old. The Government does not propose to
defraud any honest holder but to carry out
its object successfully, the time for making
exchanges is necessarily limited at each office
to few days Chicago Tribune.
