torpid or congested it fails to eliminate this
vast amount of noXious substance. which,
! therefore, remains TO poison the blood and be
conveyed to every part OF the system. NEat
| must be the condition of the blood when ii is
receiving and retaining each day two and
| half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work
| off this poison through other channels and
! organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc--but
! these organs become overtaxed in performing
| this labor in addition to their natural func-
| lions, and cannot long withstand the press
| ure, but become yariously diseased.
| The brain, which is the great electrical
| center Of all vitality is unduly stimulated by
| the unhealthy blood which passes to it from
the heart and 1t fails to perform its office
faithfully. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning.
Symptoms Of liger complaint and Of some q
| the diseases produced by It.
A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or yell
| lowish-brown spots on the face and other
parts; dullness and drowsiness, with frequent
headache; dizziness, bitter or bad taste in the
mouth; dryness of the throat, and internal
| heat, palpitation of the heart; in many cases
a dry, teasing cough, with sore throat; un-
steady appetite; sour stomach, with raising
of the food and choking sensation in the
| throat sickness and vomiting; distress;
! heaviness, or bloated and full feeling about
| the stomach and sides, which is often attend
| ed with pain and tenderness; aggravating
pains in the sides, back or breast and about
| the shoulders collie, pain and soreness
| through the bowels, with heat; constipation
| of the bowels, alternating with frequent at
1 tacks of diarrhea; piles, hatulence, nervous
| ness, GOODNESS of the extremities; rush OF
| blood to the head, with symptoms Of apo
| pleXy; numbness of the limbs, especially at
night; cold chills, alternating with hot flashes,
with dizziness, low spirits, unsociablity and
! gloomy forebodings. The blood itself be-
| n
| surface of the skin il is irritating and poi
| sonous that it produces discolored brown
! spots, pimples blotches and other eruptions,
| sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tu-
mors. Only a few Of the above symptoms
will be likely to be present in any case at one
| time.
| Rational and successful treatment.
| large variety of diseased conditions are
| produced by liver complaint. BY curing the
disease of the liver we remove the cause, and
thereby radically cure, not only the liver com
| plant, but also the various other diseased
| conditions produced by it,
| 1t Is generally the custom to take strong
| liver stimulants for the liver complaint, aud
| both the mineral and vegetable Kingdoms
have been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatiyes, in
| order TO produce powerful effect upon the
! liver, and rouse the tagging and enfeebled
| organ. These medicines are given freely and
| in large doses, which keep the liver in an ex-
| cited condition while under their influence.
| This system of treatment is on the same prin-
| cipe as that of giving a weak and debilitated
| man large portions OF brandy TO enable him
| to do certain amount of work Every intel
| ligent person can readily see or imagine the
| condition the man would be in when the work
| was done and the brandy withheld and
| it is just so with the liver. When the stimu-
liant Is withheld the organ rapidly reapses
| into more torpid or sluggish and weakened
condition han hofnra What IL
ed? Evidently medicines that, while they
arouse the liver to action, will do it, not by
an irritating and stimulating effect, as Is
produced by a dose Of great, repulsive,
sickening, drastic pills, calomel, blue mass,
mandrake or podophyllin, but by tonic
| inyigoratlng and strengthening influ-
ence upon that organ. Medicines are
wanted that, while they cause the bile to
flow freely from the liver, as that organ is
toned into action, will not oyerwork and thus
debilitate it, but will, when their use Is dis
continued, leave the liver strengthened and
healthy Such medicines ] am happy to have
been able to discover and introduce to the af-
fiicted for their relief and cure. AS a remedy
for all the various manifestations of disease
resulting from "Livcr Complaint" as IL is
usually termed, and as a blood purifier, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is posi-
lively unequaled. By IL the liver and stom-
ach are changed to an active, healthy state,
the appetite regulated and restored, the blood
and secretions thoroughly purified and en-
| riched, and the whole system renovated and
built up anew.
It's action is mild, vet positive and lastiag
1t does not simply pattiate the disease and re-
licye it for the time being, but it produces
| ra1icdL and lastir4g benef.
There are, however, some peculiar consti-
tutions on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative TO unclog the bowels, and
instead Of taking it In larger doses than two

or just sufficient to produce the desired relax
alton, which should fall short Of a cathartic
effect. In fact the combined use Of the Pei
lets and the Discovery from the first In the
| mild doses which recommend will be found
most effective in arousng the secretion Of the
| liver and subduing congestion or infamma'
ton Of that organ. Do not use any other lax
alive or cathartlc with the Discovery, as none
other Is so well calculated to work In harmony
with and assist the Discovery in its congenal
operation. Other cathartics win frequently
counterfeit and interfere with, or neutraliZe
the power and good effects Of, the Discovery;
they should not therefore be used These lit
tie Purgatiye Pellets, or Sugar Coated, Root
and Herbel Juice, Anti-B Bilious Granules, on
the other hand, are SO compounded as to har-
| monte with and assist the Discovery.
Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists
| the world over.

| To DIR. w. PIERCE: Your Discovery needs
| only fair trial, and 1t will do all you reconi-
mend it to do, and more too. When / was
fifteen I caught cold, and for twenty-eight
| years have been perfect wreck OF disease,
and all the medicines and doctors bills have
run up at times to 800 and $500, and never
any better, but worse, when j gave up
all hopes last spring Of living the summer
through. ! received one Of your Account
Books, and told my husband, after reading
it, that it was too late to try further, but be
said IL was never too late. He went and bought
