The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in tho side. some
times the pain is in the shoulder, and is
mistaken ior rheumatism. The stomach
is affected with loss Of appetite and
sickness, bowels in general costlve
sometimes alternating with lax. The
head is troubled with pain, and dull,
heavy sensation, considerable loss Oh
memory, accompanied with painful sem
sstion of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaing of weakness, debility, and
low spirits. Sometimes many OF the
above symptoms attend the disease, ana
at other times very few OF them; out
the liver is generally the organ most in
volved.
Nearly all diseases originate from Indigestion
and Torpidity of tho Liver, and relief IS always
snyiously sought after. If the Liver is regu-
