Liver and BLOOD Diseases
nYR V. PIERCE. N. D.

A healthy liver secretes each day
about two and halt pounds OF bile,
which contains 9 great amount OF
waste material taken from the blood,
When the-liver becomes torpid or con-
eested 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. - What must be the condition
OF the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and q hall
pounds OF poison2 Nature tries to
work off this poison throug b other
channels and organs-the kidneys,
|lungs, skins, ETC, but these organs hes
come overtaxed in performing this Ia
bor IN addition to their natural func'
tons, and cannot long Withstand the
measure, but becoms vsriously dis
eased.
The brain, which is the great cleo
trical centre of all vitality, is unduly
stimulated by the unhealthy blood,
which passes to is from the heart and

II Western Agriculture Opprssseds
The Boston Advertiser does not
think that the statistics bear out the
complaints Of Western farmers as TO-
the oppression they bear from the rail-
roads: It says: rr...
"The latest returns published by the
National Crop Reporter throw some
light upon disputed pointa. We have
been 90 long accustomed to be told
the farmers OF the West are groaning
under the oppression OF the railroads,
that transportation is 30 costly that
they cannot afford to market their
productions, and that grain 10
burned Tor fuel because it can be put
to no other use, that It seems almost like
investigating historical fiction to look
into the facts. But here are some
facts. Let us SEQ how lows stands.
She produces annually from one hum
dred and twenty-five million to one
hundred and fifty million bushels OF
corn. The Crop Reporter processes to
have reports up to 18th Of March from
forty-three out Of about one hundred
couBties OF the States. From these
returns we learn that the average
price OF corn throughout the State was
50.7 cents; on the day Of these reports
corn sold in Chicago for 81 o63 cents,
and in New York at Sc to 90 cents.
1t would therefore appear that at that
time it did not cost two bushels of
corn to send one bushel to market, as
has been complained, but that it cost
only four-fifths of one bushel. And
the aggregate cost OF transportation, OF
handling and storing, including also
the commissions aud profits of all in-
termediate agents between the farmer
and the wholesale dealer in New York,
was about one and one-half cents
fun for each mile between the farm and
the market. 70. .
similar facts appear in the reports
from Kansas. The average price there
was 503icents, or only tour-tenths Of
q cent less than in Iowa. In Nebras>
ka but three counties were reported,
and the average Of the three was 1873
cents. Illinois reported thirty six
counties in which the price averaged
47.S cent?, the low average being caus-
ed by two small counties-without
which the average would have been
4S.7 cent?. The average in Minnesota
was 56.5 cents, in Indiana SO cents, in
Missouri Al cents, in Ohio "a 2 cents,
| in Wisconsin 53.2 cents. None of
these prices can be regarded as unre-
nunefative. The prolific soil and the
ease OF cultivation in the western
states make them in fact, much more
profitable than the prices that are
paid to sg'iculturalists on a much
larger capital at the East"
