Liver Com nlatnt.


DIsPENSARY, Buffalo, n. Y.
A healthy liver secretes each day about two
| and Il half pounds of bile, which contains Il
great amount of waste material taken from
| the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congcsted it fails to eliminate this vast
| amount of noxiOus substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be con
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and a
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-thc kidneys, lungs, skin, etc, but
these organs become overtayed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
lions, and cannot long Withstand the pressure
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to il from
the heart and it fails to perform its office
hcalthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning.
Symptoms Of 1irer complaint and Of some Of
The diseases pTO7ucel by Il.
A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or vel
i.-brown spots on the face and other
parts; dizziness and drowsiness, with frequent
headache; dizziness, bitter or bad taste in the
mouth; dryness of the throat and internal
heat; palpitaton of the heart; in many cases
dry, teasing cough, with sore throat; I'M
steady appetite; sour stomach, with a raising
OF the food and a choking sensation in the
throat; sickness and vomiting; distress:
heavincss, or a 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; cole, pain and soreness
through the bowels, with heat; constipation
OF the bowels, alternating with frequent at
tacks of diarrhea; piles, fatulence, 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 flash
es, with dizziness, low spirits, unsocability
and gloomy forebodings. The blood itself be-
ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the
surface of the skin it is so irritating and poi
sonous that it produces discolored brown
spots, pimples, blotches and other eruptions,
sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors.
Only few of the above symptoms will be
likely to be present in any case at one time.
Rational and successful treatment
A large variety of diseased conditions are
produced by liver complaint. BY curing the
disease Of the liver we remove the cause. and
thereby rad'caly cure, not only the liver
complaint, but also the various other dis
eased conditions produced by it.
1t is generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the liver complaint. and
both the mineral and vegetable Kingdoms
have been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in
order to produce powerful effect upon the
liver, and rouse the laggard and enfeeblcd
organ. 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 is on the same prin
ciple as that of giving 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 relapses
into more torpid or sluggish and weakened
condition than before. What, then, is
wanted? Evidently medicines that, while
they arouse the liver to action, will do it, not
by an irritating and stimulating effect, as
is produced by dose of great, repulsiye.
sickening, drastic pills, calomel, blue mass,
mandrake or podophyllin, but by a
tonic invigorating and strengthening
influence upon that organ. Medicines
flow freely from the liver, as that organ is
toned into action, will not overwork and thus
debilitate it, but WILL when their use is dis
continued, leave the liver strengthened and
hedtthy.. Such medicines am happy to have
been able to discover and introduce to the af-
tlicted for their relief and cure As remedy
for all the various manifestations of disease
resulting from "Liver Complaint" as it is
usually termed, and as a blood purifier, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is posi-
lively unequaled. By it 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
builtrup anew.
Its action is mild, yet positive and LASTING.
1t does not simply palliate the disease and re-
lieve it for the time being, but it produces
radical and LISTING benefit.
There are, however,, some peculiar consti-
buttons on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, and
instead Of taking it in larger doses than two
teaspoonfuls four times day, if that quantity
does not move the bowels twice in twenty -four
hours, take from one to three OF DIR. Pierce's
