Liver COMPLAINT.

BY r. V. PIERCE, M. D., of the WORLDS
DIsPENsARY, Buffalo, N. Y:
A healthy liver secretes 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 or con-
gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, 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 re-
tanning each day two and half pounds of
poison Nature tries to work of this poison
through other channels and organs-the kid
neys, lungs skin, ETC., but these organs be-
come overtaxed In performing this labor in ad-
dition to their natural functions, and cannot
long withstand the pressure, atid become
| variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center Of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood, which passes to it from
the heart, and it fails to perform its office
healthfully. Hence the symptoms Of bile
poisoning.
SYMPTOMS OF LIVER COMPLAINT, AND OF SOME
OF THE DISEASES PRODUCED by 1T.
A sallow or yellow color OF the skin, or yell
lowish-brown spots on the face ard other
parts; dullness and drowsiness, with FREQUENT
headache. dizziness, bitter or bad taste in the
mouth, dryhess Of the throat, and internal
heat palpitati6h OF the heart, in many cases
dry teasing cough, with core throat; unsteady
appetite, sour stomach, with tsising Of the
food, and choking sensation in tho throst,
| sickness and vomiting, distress, heaviness OF
bloated and full feeling about the stomach and
| sides, which is often attended with pain and
| tenderness aggravated pains in the sides,
back or breast, and about the shoulders cohC,
pain and soreness through the bowels, with
heat; constipation Of the bowels. alternating
with frequen. attacks Of diarrhGa, piles,
| fatulence, nervousness coldness of the eX-
| tremities rush of blood to the head with
| Iux-r,n ,nr,tn of NntA1n nhnna Of tho
limbs, especially at night; cold chills, alterna-
ting with hot flashes with dullness, low spirits
unsocability, and gloomy forebodings. The
| blood itself being diseased, as it forms the
sweat tpon the surface Of the skin, is 80
| irritating and poisonous that it produces dis
colored brown spots, pimpes, blotches, and
other eruptions, sores, boils, carbunces aud
scrofulous tumors. Only few of the above
symptoms will be likely to be present in any
case at one time.
| RATIONAL AND SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT.
A large variety OF diseased conditions are pro-
duced by liver complaint. By curing the dis
| case of the liver we remove the cause, and
thereby radically cure, not only the liver com
plaint but also the various other diseased
conditions produced by it.
| 1t is generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the liver complaint, and
both the mineral and vegetable kingdom have
been diligently searched to procure the most
| pOibOuOus pulBdLlNes. Ill OIueI W
produce a powerful effect upon the liver and
rouse the tagging and enfeebled 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
giving a weak and debilitated man large por-
tions Of brandy to enable him to do certain
amount of work. Every intelligent person can
readily see, or 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 stimulant is withheld the
organ 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 it, not by an irritating and stimulating
effect, az il produced by a dose of great. repul-
sive, sickening, drastic pills, calomel, blue
mass, mandrake, or podophyllin, 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, 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 mani
festations Of disease resulting from Liver
Complaint" as it is usually termed, and as
blood purifier, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medica
Discovery is positively unequaled. BY it the
liver and stomach are changed to an active
healthy state. the appetite regulated and re.
stored. the blood and secretions thoroughly
purified and enriched, and the whole system
renovated and built up anew.
It's action is mild. yet pOSttiUe and lasting
1t does not simply pilliate the disease, and re
lieve it, for the time being, but it produce,
radical and lasting benefit.
There are, however, some peculiar constitu
tions on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, anC
instead of taking it in larger doses than TIVE
teaspoonfuls four times day, if that quantit,
does not move the bowels twice in twenty-fou
hours, take from one to three OF DR.. Pierce
Pleasant Purgative Pellets each day, or JUS
sufficient to produce the desired relaxation
which should fall short of a cathartic effect
In fact, the combined use Of the Pellets ant
the Discovery from the first, in the mild dose
which recommend will be found most effec
tive in arousing the secretion of the liver, AM
subduing congestion or inflammation of that or
gan. Do not use any other laxative or cathari
with the Discovery, as none other is so We
calculated to work in harmony with and asss
J the Discovery in its congenial operation
, Other cathartics will frequently counteract an,
interfere with, or neutralize the power an
good effects Of the Discovery; they shOul
not therefore, be used. These little Purgatiy
Pellets, or Sugar Coated Root and Herbe
Juice, Auti-Bious Granules. on the othc
hand, are so compounded as to harmonize wit
and assist the Discovery
Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggist
the world over.
