Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

i Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
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 under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are c~ostive,
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, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone 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 a 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 it. In 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.

How to Cook Vegetables.

There is one important. objection
which has often been made through
ignorance of the first rule in cook
ing vegetables. 1t is observed that
a meal from them isitot satisfying.
l have found it frequently happen
that the person who thus: objected
did not even know how to boil a
vegetable. The rule is simple, but
must never be forgotten. Every
kind of vegetable intended to be
served whole should, when put to
boil, be placed at once in boiling
water; and this applies especially to
potatoes and vegetables from which
the outer cover has been removed
Now it often happens that potatoes,
etc., are, to save time, placed in cold
water left to boil gradually. 1t is
lust this which allows the nutritious
matter to escape, and renders the
meal unsatisfying. When, on the
contrary, the water boils from the
moment the vegetable is immersed
in it the albumen is partially coagu
lated near the surface, and serves to
retain the virtue of the vegetable.
The reverse is of course the rule for
making soup,or any dish from which
the water is not to be drained. By
placing the vegetables in cold water
the albumen is slowly dissolved,and
actually mixes with the water-a
process most necessary for the pro
duction of nutritious soup. 1t is
to be hoped that the poor,who have
a special need for the most their
money can produce, will learn in
what ever haste they may be, not to
boil all the albumen from their po-
tatoes, reserving for their need, only
the starchy matter-Food Journal.
