healthy liver RecreteS each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains
great amount of waste material taken from
! the blood. When the liver becomes torpid OF
congested 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 il
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 oyertaxed in performing
this labor i'll addition to their natural func-
! tons, and cannot long Withstand the pressure,
but become varlously diseased.
! The brain, which is the great electrical cen
! tire of all vitality is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood, which passes to it from the
heart and it fails to perform its office health
| fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning.

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 con-
diions 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 purgatlves, In order to
produce a powerful effect upon the liver. and
ROUSE the taSSlllS dllC organ. 1ncSe
medicines are given freely and III large doses,
which keep the liver in excited condition
while under their influence. This system of
treatment Is on the same principle as that of
giving a weak and debilitated man large por-
tions of brandy TO enable hlm to do a certain
amount of work Every Intelligent person can
readily see, or imagine the condition the man
would be III when the work was done and the
brandy withheld; and it is just so with the
liver. When the stlmulant Is withheld. the or
gan 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, viii
do it, not 10y irritating and stimulating eff
feet, as is produced by dose of great. repul-
sive, sickening, drastic pills. calomel, blue
mass, mandrake, or podOphylhn, but by a
tonic invigorating and strengthening 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 oyerwoTk and thus debilitate it, but
Will, when their use Is discontinued, leave the
liver strengthened and healthy. Such medicines
| am happy to have been able to discover and
introduce to the afflicted for their relief and
cure. As a remedy for all the various manifes-
t&tions of disease resulting from Liver Com

is positively unequaled. BY it the liver and
stomach are changed to an active healthy
state, the appetite regulated and restored the
blood and secretions thoroughly purified and
enriched, and the whole system renovated and
built up anew.
Its action is mild, yet positiUe and tasting.

cal and lasting be,nW.
There are however, some peculiar cOnstitI-
tons on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, and
instead of taking it in larger doses than two
teasp0Onfus four times day, if that quantity
does not move the bowels twice in twenty
four hours, take from one to three of DIR.

or just sufficient to produce the desired relaxa-
ton, which should fall short of a cathatric
lets and the Discovery from. he first in the
mild doses which recommend viii be found
most effective in arousiLg the secretion of the
liver, and subduing congestion or inflammation
of that organ. Do not use any other laxative
or cathaffic with the Discovery, as none other
is so well calculated to work in harmony with
and assist the Discovery i'll its congenial opera
ton. Other cathartics will frequently counter
act and interfere with, or neutralize the power
and good effects Of the Discovery they should
not therefore be used. These little Purgative
Pellets. Or Sugar-Coated Root and Herbal

Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists
the world over.
