LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASES
by R. V. PIERCE, NJ. D.

~ ~ - AAAsAsNisi lhs ~
A healthy liver secretes each day about two and
half pounds Of bile, which contains a great
amount Of waste material taken from the blood
When the liver becomes torpid or cOngested IL
fails TO eliminate this vast amount obnoxious sub
stance, which, therefore, remains TO poison the
blood and be conveyed TO every part Of the system
What must be the condition of the blood when IL
is receiving and retaining each day twOand a half
pounds Of poison? Nature tries to work of this
poison through other channels and organs-the
kidneys lungs skin, etc, but these organs become
Overtaxed In performing this labOrin addition to
their natural functions, and can not long with
stand 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 1t from the heart and 1t falls
TO perform It's office healthfully. Hence the symp
toms of bile poisoning, which are dullneSs, head
ache incapacity 10 keep the mind on any subject
impairment Of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous
feelings, gloomy forbOdings, and irritability Of
temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it
forms the sweat upon the surface Of the skim II Is
so irritating and poisonous that II produces dscOl-
OredbrOwn spots, ,pimpes blOtches andO other erup-
tions sores, bOils, carbuncles and scrOfulous tu-
mors.. The stomach bowels and other organs can
not escape becoming affected, sooner or later and
we have as the result, COstiveness piles, dropsy,
dyspepsia, diarrhma Other symptoms are com
mon as bitter or bad taste In the mouth, internal
heat, papitatiOn, teasing cough, unsteady appetite
choking sensation In throat, blOating Of stomach
pain in sides or about shoulders or back GOODNESS
0f extremities, etc, etc. Only few Of the above
symptoms are likely to be present in any case at
one time The liver being the great depurating or
blood cleansing organ of the system-sett this great
"hOusekeeper Of our health at work, and the foul
cOrruptiOns which gender I'm the blood, and rot
out as II were, the machinery Of life are gradual
ly yexpelled from the SYSTEM. FOrthis purpose my

Viruent blood poisdns that lurk in the system are
by them robbed Of their terrors and by their per-

tainted systems may be completely renovated and
built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumOrs and
swelllngs dwinde away and disappear under the
influence Of these great resolyants.

FROM NEW BALTIMORE.

ED. DEMOCRAT Not often seeing anything in
your very excellent paper from our quiet little
town, we thought few items wouldnot be wholly
void of interest to your many readers, We are
still afoat and everything going of with its usual
interest. Lip service in the way Of huckleberry
eating has about come to close and we feel our
selves efficient for any emergency The crop was
large.
The license question Is being discussed in detail
though we have never had nor needed any crusa-
ding until within very few days since, which
time Abe Hollibaugh has been dealing out through
tickets to destruction.
J.W. Taylor has recently filled up and enlarged
his excellent store and things now begin to look
like business. In one sense Of the word Johns
luck in "dry goods" Is poor for he IS still batch
ing" it though a muchly married man never-the-
less
Farmers have pretty generally secured their
crops. Wheat will yield about the average, oats
and hay far below, but prospects for corn are ex-
celent.
The potato bugs are drifting off to other quar-.
tiers though they have already done much dam
age.
There are occasionally incidents occur in this
viciniy as well as others that are of interest nay
rich and racy. The latest Of this kind was the ar
rest Of Mrs. A. Knkeley for having her dress
pinned up, and doing her morning work while
a iastidious nelghbor was passing He claimed
however, that It was "wilful and malicious ex-
posure &C." Long years ago the Kniseley family
concluded that to live in obedience to the Stars
and Stripes alone was sufficient, and to do HON.
age to any local dominion was yoke that neither
they nor their fathers could bear; this Of course
brought down the displeasure Of the king on
their heads, since which time there has been feud
existing between them. Though Dave commands
his thousands yet the hair of Esquire slanker was
entirely too straight to be Influenced by that and
he dismissed the case and his majesty had to
dance to his own whistleing to the tune of about
thirty-fye dollarsl No doubt but Tilton has heard
Of this case, and It has given him sufficient amount
Of courage to have himselfarrested We will wait
patiently for the result of the next case now pend.

DR. .HOS7ETTER AND JUDGE CLARKE IN THE
N. E CHURCH


Mr.. EDIroR 7It was my pleasure last Saturday
evening to listen to speeches from Dr. j. C. Hostel
ter, one ofour delegates in the late Con. Con-, and
Judge Clark of New Lisbon. Both gentlemen spoke
principally on the license clause-both opposing
the same.
Peter Chance, Esq, was called to the chair, af.
ter which Prof Avery made few appropriate re-
marks, opposing the license clause and expressing
hostility, also, to the entire new Constitution.
DIR. HosTETTER was then introduced and ex-
pressed himself tayorably to the adoption Of the
new Constitution, but strongly against the license
clause. The Doctor spoke briefly but to the point
and was followed by
Hon. JOHN CLARK of New Lisbon, late Judge Of
our Common Pleas Court He spoke of himself
as an old DEMOCRAT, but would have to speak
briefly as he must soon leave for the train. He
could not refrain from expressing his disapproba-
tion fthe license clause, He had near 40 years
experience as an attorney and Judge and several
years of this time was where we had a LIQUOR IL
cense law. When seryingas Prosecuting Attorney
of COlumbiana county under the old Constitution
prior to 1851, his Grand Jury found seventy in
dlctments at one single term, and that, too when
there was little or no disposition to enforce the
law; and he has lived and taken part under no
license Constitution and he could say, with truth,
the latter was far the best for the community. He
looked upon the retailing Of ardent spirits as the
greatest curse of the age and the proposition to IL
cense or legalize the traffic as great folly and
shame.
Judge Clarke had heard ofa Canton gentleman
calling his Democracy in question because for
sooth, he Clarke was opposed to license He
was not aware that Democracy was founded ON a
barrel of whiskeyl AS he understood Democracy,
and had for forty years or more, twas opposed to
degrading and debauching, and he would never
give his consent or Influence to any such abom-
Unable doctrine, and he hoped and believed that
the NeO Constitution, and license and al, irould be
defeated

I would respectfully call the attention Of my
friends to my new store, on the west side Of Mar
ket Square, Canton. Having had a very large ex-
perience in the dry goods business my customers
can rest assured shat they win find anything Of
the best quality, and alrays a. reprasentod. hope
that the patronage so literally bestowed upon me
while in partnership with Mr. schilling viii be
continued, and should be pleased 10 see many
new faces and all old friends to call and examine
my goods and prices. The co-pannenhip hereto
fore existing between Mr., schilling and myself
has, by mutual consent been dissolved.
