symptoms OF d O1Se2SeQ AlFcI.
Dam in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt undea ee shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some-
times mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are eostive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, &C.
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undonc something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin his spirits are low
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try ,R. an fact, he dis
trusts 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 de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr.. M'LANE's Liver Pills, IN
CASES OF AcuE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, 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 FAIR TRIAL.
