Liver Complaint,

BY Il. '. Pierce, NJ. D., of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y,
A healthy liver s~ecretes each day about two
and a half pounds Of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested, it fails to eliminate this va,t amount
OF noxlous substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to
every part of the system. What must be the
condlt on Of the bl cd 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 kid
neys, lungs, skin, etc, but these organs be-
come oyertaxed III performing this labor in
addition to their natural functions. and cannot
long withstand the pressure, but become vari-
ously 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 aud it fails to perform it's office health
lully' 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-
ditions produced by it.
1t is generally the custom to take strong
stimulants for the liver complaint, and
both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms have
been diligently searched to procure the most
1rastlc and poisonous purgatives, in order to
produce a powerful effect upon the liver. and
