directly to the lungs, circulatir
through all parts of these most del
cate organs. The tissues of the lun,
are poisoned and irritated, and invi
the scrofulous humors with whic
the blood Is burdened, by being thu
irritated. In this way consumption
which Is scrofula If the lungs, so d,
fined and proven by all the most SCI
entific authors. Is established.
The blood Is In measure oxygen
lied and purified by the lungs, but l
this effort these organs are over
worked and irritated, and the fou
blood poison may be smelled in tn
mans offensive breath. Nervou
Cough, Bronchitis. Asthma, an,
Consumption itself, are the natura
results. The lungs would not hav
become diseased had the liver don
its duty by execreting the bile.
The impure blood not only affect
the heart and lungs; but also othe
important organs. It passes from
the lungs back to the upper left cavi
ty, and thence through the arteries
and oapillaries to every tissue and
organ of the system. The kidney.
are among the most important o.
those organs, furnishing, as they do
an important excretion, that Of the
urine. They become diseased, being
irritated and congested by the pres.
ence of bils-poisoned blood. The
urine becomes scsnty, high-co.ored,
and, at times, loaded with red depos-
Its, or other diseased products. which
produce irritation of the bladder,
thus adding another malsdy to the
already heightened catalogue OF all
ments. .g.t.. p. .a
The brain, which is the great cleo
trical center Of all vitality, Is unduly
stimulated by the unhealthy blood
which passes to It from the heart,
and it fails TO perform its Office heal
thfully. Hence, the dullness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on
any subject, impairment of memory,
dizzy. sleepy or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings and irritability
Of temper. The blood itself being
diseased, as IL forms the sweat upon
the surface of the skin, It is so irri.
tating and poisonous that 1t produces
discolored brown spots. pimples,
blotches, and other eruptions, sores.
boils, carbunoles and scrofulous tn.
mors. The stomach, bowels and
other organs spoken of, cannot escape
becoming affected, sooner or later,
and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dys-
pepsia, diarrhss, and many other
forms of chronic disease, are among
the necessary results.

RATIONAL AND SUCCESSFUL TREAT
MENT OF LIVER COMPLAINT.
/ have shown how q large variety
OF diseased conditions are directly
produced by liver complaint. BY
curing the disease of the lives, VIZ
remove the cause, and thereby radi
caRy cure not only the liver com
plant, but also the various Other
diseased conditions produced by 1t.
1t Is quite igsnerslly the custom tc
take strong liver stimulants for the
cure of liver complaint, and both the
mineral and vegetable kingdoms
have been diligently searched to pro.
cure the most drastic and poisonous
purgatives, in order to produce q
powerful effect upon the liver, and
rouse the tagging and eufeebled or.
gan. These medicines are given
freely and in large doses, which keep
the liver In an excited condition
while under their influence.
This system Of treatment il on the
same principle as that of giving a
weak and debilitated man large por-
lions Of brandy to enable him to do q
certain amount of work. Every In
telligent person can readily see, or
imagine, the condition the man
would be In when the work was done
and the brandy withheld; and 1t Ii
Just SO with the liver. When the
stimulant is withheld the organ
gradually relapses into . more torpid
or sluggish and weekend condition
than before. What, then, Is wanted ?
Evidently . medicine that, while 1t
arouses the liver to action, will do 1t,
not by an irritating and stimulating
effect, as IL produced by dose OF
pills, calomel, mandrake, or podeph-
yllin, but by tonic, invigorating
and strengthening influence upon
that organ. One il wanted which,
while 1t causes the bile TO fow freely
from the liver, as that organ ia toned
