Poisoned to Death,

4 healthy liver secrctes 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 congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of noXious sub
stance, which, therefore, remains to- poison the
blood and be conveyed to every part of the sys-
ten. What must be the condition of the blood
when it is receiving and retaining each day two
and 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 tho pressure, bnt become various
ly diseased.
The BRAIN which is the great electrical centre of
all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy
blood which passes to it from the heart and ii ia lis
to perform its office BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symp-
toms of bile poisoning, which are dizziness, head
ache, incapaciy to keep the mind on any subject,
impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, OF nervous
feelings, gloomy foreBodings and lrritabity Of
temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it
forms the sweat upon the surface Of the skin, is so
irritating and poisonous that it produces discolor
ed brown spots. pimples. blotches and other erup-
tons, sores, boils carhuncles and scrofulous tum
ors. The stomach bowels, and other organs
spoken OF, cannot escape becoming affected soon
or later, and costiveness, piles dropsy dyspep-
STA, diarrhPa, female weakness, and many other
forms of chronic disease, are among the necessary
results. As remedy for Ill these manifestations

passage.
On motion Of Mr.. LYMAN, Senate order rclat.
ing to calling upon the Secretary OF State for the
amount Of money expended by the State for the
past five years. was taken from the State.
Mr. SNOW moved the indefinite postponement
of the order, because the information asked for
could be obtained from the reports of the treas
urer, and for the reason that its passage would
entail the necessity of employing an additional
clerk in the Secretary of States Office for some
time at considerable expense.
Mr.. LYMAN desired that the order might pass
az an act Of courtesy to the Senate. lie was in
clined to think there was not SO much labor to
follow its passage as the gentleman (Snow) would
have the House understand, and he thought such
detallel statement would be of interest and
profit. 1t would enable members to see what the
various institutions in the State have had, by
which 1t could regulate its appropriations this win
ter.
Mr.. WEEELwRIGnr remarked that If the order
had been introdut ed at an earlier point in the ses-
sion he should have been in favor Of it, The report
in response to the order would come too late TO do
any good, and Tor that reason he hoped it would
be Indefinitely postponed
Mr.. LYMAN moved 10 amend by adding PRO
vidng the Information can be furnished within
one week"
Mr.. TEFFT moved to amend the amendment by
adding 'lf in the opinion OF the Secretary Of
State it can be done within one week"
The amendment was accepted by Mr.. LYMAN.
Mr.. WHEELwRIGHT moved that the matter be
referred to the next Legislature.
Mr.. KEEGAN sugge stcd that in the mean time
gentlemen should consult the acts and resolves
for the last five years. where they would find all the
information desired.
The speaker ruled that the motion to refer TO
the next legislature was equivalent to indefinite
postponement, and that the motion 10 amend
would take precedence
Mr.. TALBOT moved to commit tot the Committee
on Ways and Means.
Mr.. LYMAN accept the amendment
The SPEAKER-The motion to commit will take
