LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASES
BY II. V. PIERCE, NJ. D.

BY II. V. PIERCE, NJ. d.
A healthy liver secretes each
day about two and n half pounds
OF bile, which contains d great
amount of waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver
becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount
of noxious substance, which, there
fore, 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 aud a half pounds Of poison?
Nature tries to.Work OFF this poison
through other channals and organs
the kidneys, lungs skin, etc,
but these organs become overtaX-
ed in performing this labor in adj
dition their natural functions, and
coun0t lobg Withstand the pres
sure, but become variously diseas-
ed.
The brain, which is the great
elec rical center of all vitality, is
unduly stimulated by the un
healthy blood which passes to it
from the heart and it fails to per-
form its Office healthfully. Hence
the SYMPTOMS of bile poisoning,
which are dullness, headache, in
capacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment of memory,
dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings, and irritabli
ity Of temper. The blood itself
being diseased as it forms the
swea upon the surface of the skin
it i, SO irritating and poisonous
that it produces discolored brown
spot, pimples, blotches, and other
eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles
and scroful0uS tumOrS. The stOm
ach, bowels and other organs can
not escape becoming affected soon
er or later, and we have as the
result, costiveness, piles, dropsy,
dyspepsia, diarrh9a. Other sym
toms are common, as bitter or
bad taste in mouth, internal heat
palpitation, teasing cough, un
steady appetite, choking sensa
ton in throat, bloating of stomach
pain in sides or about shoulders
or back, coldness of eXtremities,
etc, etc Only a few of the above
SYMPTOMS are likely to be present
in any case at one time. The liv
er being The great depuratiug or
blood cleansing organ of the sys
tem-set this great ''hOusekeeper
Of our health" at work, and the
foul corruptions, which gender in
the blood and rot out, as it were,
the machinery of life, are gradual
~ expelled from the system. For
this purpose my Golden Medical
Discovery with very small doses
daily Of my Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are pre-eminently the arti
Giles needed. They cure every kind
of humor from the worst scrofula
to the common pimple, blotch or
eruption. Great eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty
curative influence. Virulent blood
poisons that lurk in the system
are by them robbed of their terrors
and by their persevering and
somewhat protracted use the
most tainted systems may be
completely renovated and built up
anew. Enlarged glands, tumors
and swellings dwindle away and
disappear under the influence of
these great resolvents.
