i. e. BILLIoUsNEss. -Billious complaints
by some termed liver disease-are very
common in this country. The ordinary
indications, such as yellowness of the
skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the
right side under the inferior ribs, with
sometimes difficulty of respiration and
troublesome cough-are familiar to host
of sufferers; but the liver, sometimes, is
in very unsatisfactory state without the
presence of such symptoms. When we
reflect that the liver is the largest gland
Of the body, that it secretes the bile which
lubricates the bowels and keeps them in
order, is the great blood purifier or clean
sing machine of our systems, it may truly
be called the Housekeeper Of our Health.
Sudden transitions of climatic tempera-
ture, or impure air, or aoGter are disturbing
elements which arrest the functions of the
liver, and render it torpid, producing
diarrh9a, dysentery, bilious remittents in
ternaittent .teoers, and a general prostration,
and unhealthy state of the whole Or
ganiZation.
1t is not surprising that medicine
which can restore the healthy operations
of the liver, should command general
attention. Such medicine is CALIFoR-
