Liver Complaint.

Liver Complaint.
BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., of the WORLDS
| DIsPENsARY, Buffalo, n. Y.
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
eongested 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
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-
tons, and cannot long Withstand the press
ure, 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 it from
the heart and 1t fails to perform its office
BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symptoms of bile
| poisoning.
Symptoms Of lier complaint and Of some Of
| the diseases produced it..
| A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or yell
lowlsh-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; palpitatiOn of the heart; in many cases
a dry, teasing cough, with sore throat; I'M
| steady appetite sour stomach, with raising
of the food and choking sensation in the
| throat; sickness and vomiting; distress;
| heaviness, or Il bloated and full feeling about
| the stomach and sides, which is often attend
| ed with pain and tenderness; aggravatng
| 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
pf Hntnlpurp
| ness, GOODNESS of the eXtremites 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 dullness low spirits, unsociability
| and gloomy forebodngs. The blood itself be-
| ny diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the
| surface of the skin it is SO irritating and poi
| sonous that it produces dscolorcd brown
| spots, pimples blotches and other eruptions,
| sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors.
Only a few of the above symptoms viii 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 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, and
| both the mineral and vegetable Kingdoms
| have been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous pnrgatives, in
| order to produce a 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-
ciple as that of giving weak and debilitated
man large portions Of brandy to enable him
| to do certain amount of work. Every intel
| nup raa " or nn he
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
stimuant is withheld the organ rapid
| ly reapses into more torpid or
sluggish and weakened condition than be-
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, repulsive, sickening, drastic pills, Gallo
MEL blue mass, mandrake or podophyllin,
but by tonic invigorating and strengthen
ing influence 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 overwork and thus
! deblitate it, but will, when their use is dis
continued, leave the liver strengthened and
heating. Such medicines I am happy to have
been able to discover and introduce to the al
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 a blood purifier, DIR.
Pierces 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
built up anew.
Its action is mild, yet positi,e and lasting 1t
does not simply polliate the disease and re-
1,..x~a hot,
radical and lasting benefit
There are, however, some peculiar eonst-
tutions 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 a day, if that quantity
does not move the bowels twice in twenty
four hours, tske from one to three of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant PurgatiTe Pellets each day,
or Just sufficient to produce the desired relax
alton, which should fall short of 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 arousing the secretion of the
liver and subduing congestion or inflamma-
ton of that organ. Do not use any other lax
ative or cathartic with the Discovery, as none
other is so we'll calculated to work in harmony
with and assist the Discovery in its congeniaI
operation. Other cathartics will frequently
| counteract and interfere with, or neuirailze
the power and good effects of the Discovery
they shoul6 not therefore be used. These
little Purgative Pellets, or Sugar Coated, Root
and Herbel Juice, Anti Bilious Granules, on
the ether hand, are so compounded as TO har-
monte with and assist the Discovery.
Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists
the world over.
