Liver Complaint.

BY Il. V. Pierce, Md, OF the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, n Y.
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 it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood, and be con-
yeyed 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
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 labor in addition to their natural fnnc-
tons, and cannot long withstand the pressure.
but become yariously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical CEN
tire of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood, which passes TO il from tho
heart and it fails TO perform its Office hcalth-
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning.

RATIONAL AND SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT
large variety of diseased conditions are
produced by liver complaint BY curing the
disease of the liver we remove the cause, and
thereby rddlcdUy cure not only The liver com
plant, but also the various other diseased con-
ditions 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 purgatiyes, in order to
produce powerful effect upon the liver. and
rouse the tagging and enfeebed organ. These
medicines are given freely and In large doses
which keep the liver in an excited condition
while under their influence. This system of
treatment is on the same principle as that of

readily see, OF imagine, the 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 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 will
do 1T, not by an irritating and stimulating eff

sive, sickening, drastic pills. calomel, blue
mass, mandrake, or podophyllin, but by a

will not overwork and thus debitate it. but
will, when their use il 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-
tations of disease resulting from Liver Com

purifier DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
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

Its action is mild, yet poSittre and LASTING.

cal and lasting benefit
There are, however, some peculiar constitu-
tions on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels and

or just sufficient TO produce the desired relaxa-
ton, which should fall short of a cathatric
effect. In fact, the combined use of the Pei
lets and the Discovery from the first in the
mild doses which recommend, viii be found
most effective a arousiI.g the secretion of the
liver, and subdUing congestion or inflammation
of that organ. Do not use any other laxative
or cathaItic with the Discovery, rs none other
il so well calculated to work in harmony with
and assist the Discovery IN its congenial opera
tion. 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 Purgatve
Pellets, or Sugar Coated Root and Herbal
Juice, Anti-bilious Granules, on the other
hand, arc so compoundeda 10 harmonic with

Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists
