LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASES.

BY R. V. PIERCE, NJ. ID.
A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and half pounds of bile, which con-
tains great amount of waste material
taken from the blood When the liver be-
comes torpid and congested,i it fails to elm
mate this vast amount of noxious sub
stance, which therefore, remains to poison
the blood, and be conveyed to every part
of the system. What must be the condi-
ton of the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and a 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
functions, and cannot long withstand the
pressure, but become variously disea sed.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is uuduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood, which passes to it
from the heart and it fails to perform its
office BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment of memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy fore
bodings, and irritability of temper. The
blood itself being diseased, as it forms the
sweat upon. the surface of the skin, it is SC
irritating and poisonous that it produces
discOlored brown spots, pimples. blotches,
and other eruptlons, sores, bOils, carbun-
| cles and scrofulous tumors. The stomach.
bowels, and other organs cannot escape
becoming affected, sooner or later, and we
have as the result, costiveness, piles, drop.
sy, dyspepsia, diarrhea. Other symptoms
are common, as bitter or bad taste in
mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teasing
cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensa
ton in throat, bloating of stomach, pair
in sides or about shoulders or back, cold
ness of eXtremlties, ETC., etc. Only few
of the above symptoms are likely to b.
present in any case at one time. The
liver being the great depurating or BLOOD

Bloated bond holders and capitalists in
the East have no idea of the lack of money
which prevails in the West, blighting in
dustry and paraiyzing commerce. Mr.. Lo-

this unhappy part Of the country, says, in
its money article. on Wednesday.the 9th,
that "the supply Of loanable funds is still
greater than can be employed" and that

amounts of country bank money on hand

And right here in Rock Island, bust
ness man owing 5000 to a bank here,
which was not quite due, had the money
and offered to pay the note if the bank
would discount the interest for the time i.
had to run. The bank declined to take it,
and offered to loan him as much more, az
they had more money than was needed.

THE FARMERS AND THE CURRENCY.

Letter from W. C. Flsgg, Esq. President Of
the State Farmers Association.
To the Editors of the Chicago Tribune;
SIR: find the following credited to the
Chicago Journal of the 5th OF May In the
Tribune OF the Sth:
had a converse ion with W. c. Flagg, the Presi-
dent of the State Farmers Association, and also
with the Chairman of the State Advisory Board
which has just adjourned, and have learned that ne
is strong advocate of the president in his veto OF
the imitation bill Mr.. Flagg also argues that there
is strong feeling in Grants favor among the far-
ming classes far as he has seenand he fears thar
there will be much danger Of the Farmers Associa
ton wrecking their first political launch on ihis
rock.
This extract does not express my opin-
ions. 1t is true that, believing our money
needs Improvement in quality rather than
increase in quantity, believe President
Grant did right in vetoiug the Imitation
bill. " But in this [ believe l belong to g
minority of our Western farmers, and dc
not know of any strong feeling in Grant {
favor among the farming classes thereof
And, whilst | consider the currency ques
ton an important and possibly dangerous
one for the Farmers Association to meet
L think their chances of survival quite al
good as those OF the Republican and Dem
ocratlc parties, which are also divided OF
this important matter
The position that the State Farmers
Association has taken, and which the Ad
visory Board had not the authority tt
modify, on this question is expressed in
resolution adopted at Decatur
RESOLVED, Thatwe favor the repeal of the Nation
al Banking law, and believe that the Government
should supply legal.te currency direct
from the Treasury, interchangeable for Govern
ment bonds bearing the lowest possible rate {
interest.
Respectfully, yours, w. G. FLAGG.

AN ExPERT.-Dr. Price is well known
as an expert in the study of Culinary
Chemistry, and all of the manufactures Of
Steele q Price are the result of his re-
searches. One of these discoveries is the
Cream Baking Powder, by the use of which
light, sweet biscuits, cakes, &c, at all times
are certainty. The market Is flooded
with cheap inferior baking powders, and
aduteration is so extensively practised,
that the Cream Baking Powder does the
work with two-tbirds tf the quantity re-
quired of any other kind In view of such
cheap impositions, the public are advised
to ask for these pure and excellent articles,
if they cannot be obtained of one grocer
may be Of another. The purer the articles
that compose our daily food the better they
are for health. Dr. Prices True Flavor

in Davenport, series of four performan-
ces in that city and Rock Island, and not
withstauding the threatening aspects of

when our farmers are too busy at home
to attend amusements, the attendance was
OF truly encouraging nature. Much has
been said in favor of this show by the, en-,
tire press of Chicago and other cities where
it has exhibited, and we naturally expect
ed to witness a remarkably fine exhibition
In this we were in no way disappointed,
as the show fully came up to our most san
guine expectations, and we have nj

SOUND CURRENCY.

The country owes Mr.. VIM. Walter
Phelps, congressman from New Jersey,
vote of thanks for his excellent speech
upon the absorbing question now before
the people of this country question
about which the people need to be educa-
ted; a question about which many people
are as profoundly ignorant as they are of
che man In the moon. Mr.. Phelps has va
ried the monotony of Congress by some
plain, common sense talk which everybody
can understand. He has not followed the
usual mysterious hyfaluten of congress
men, or filed his speech with dreary set
of statistics made to order for the purpose
of proving some impracticable theory of
his own. He has spoken in language
which everybody can understand, and a
general perusal of his speech will do more
tor correct the wrong notions of the people
than any speech we have ever read 1t
should be read by everybody. The men
should read it, for they must vote upon
the questions it considers, next fall. The
women should read it if they wish clear
views OF questions they are interested in.
The boys and girls should read it, for they
will gain more sound and useful informa.
ton from it than from most of their school
books-and they will soon have to act upop
the questions it discusses The speech is

to study it and circulate it among theil

VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Billy Boehme Arrested for Forgery-in {
Horn.

Billy boenme Arrested Tor Forgery-in q
Horn.
We find the following special telegram
in the Chicago EUening Journal. No
other paper has the news:
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Journal.
DAVENPORT, Ia, May 13.-William Boehme COM
mitted forgery IN Rock Island to the amount of
1852 He hired horse and buggy at q livery,
stable, left one Of his forged checks security
and came TO this city, where he was finally captur
ed by an officer,who was in pursuit.
Now, if the Journal had examined THE
ARGUS of Wednesday, which was then Units
office, it would have found detailed ac-
count of the affair." Billy Boehme is liv-
cry stable keeper from whom the forger
procured team and upon whom he at
tempted to pass forged check. This
game failed and the forger is in Jail. He
gave his name as Charles Lent. but this is
not his real name. His father is wealthy
man, in Chicago. The fellow is not long
out of Joliet prison where he was senten-
ced for forging bank check on his own
father,-and where Rock Island county
will soon return him; and where he ought
to stay for good long time.
1t is astonishing how our Governors are
imposed upon in the matter of pardons.
1t must be that they are imposed upon, for
we do not wish to think they are corrupt
enough to let such scoundrels loose upon
community for political effect upon the
| friends of the criminals, or for brides.
We prefer to believe that they place conf
dence in their political friends who procure
their pardons. Whether there is any
money in it, for those who procure the
pardons is another question. But, some
how or other good many scoundrels who
have rich fathers are pardoned out of the
penitentiary by our Governors. Who
does not remember the case of the two
Bell boys, from Port Byron?-a couple Of
the most hardened Williams and dangerous
characters ever 10 this county And yet
they were pardoned out; then opened a
saloon in this city; then quit that business
and returned to their old business of burg.
larry, robbery and other crimes. The
young man from Chicago, now
in our Jail, is another just such a case.
just pardoned by the Governor, he will
not go to work for living, cannot be hon.
est or decent, but begins his games of for
gerry again.
Governors have done great injury to the
cause of justice and reform by the pardon
ing power. What object is it for courts
and juries to convict such fellows if the
Governor is to turn them loose again before
their time is out?
Mr.. Boehme would prefer that the Chi
cago Journal should correct its mistake a.
to his being the forger. He is the victim
of the forger, and the public are indebted
to him for valuable aid in procuring the
forgers arrest.
