MEDICAL.

Symptoms of a Diseased LIVER.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss appetite and sickness; the bowels
IN general are Costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
PAIN, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been DONE A slight, dry
cough Is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold OR burning, and he complains of a
pclckly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
e2ough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
>ymptoms attend the disease, but cases
nave occurredwhere few ofthem existed,
determination ofthe body, after death,
las shown the LIVER to have been ex-
censively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Qulnine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

THE NEW YORK WORLD CHANGES
HANDS.


We learn that Mr.. Manton Marble has
retired from the active management of the |
World newspaper, aud that Mr.. William
Henry Hurlbert is now its editor. and .
for the last week or fortnight had entire
control of the paper. Whether Mr.. Mar
bic has sold the property we are not in
formed. but we know that various nego-
tiations for such a sale have for some time
been on foot, and the inference may fairly
be drawn from Mr. Marbles retirement
from the editorial control that he has either
already retired from the ownership or
expects soon to do so. To the public a
change has for some time been suggested
in the altered political tone of the paper.
The exclusive devotion to the nomination
of Gov. Tilien at St Louis, which was
an unvarying characteristic under Mr..
Marbles management, has disappeared,
and while no unkindness or injustice is now
shown toward the governor, the p5ssi
sbilities Of other candidates are more ia
vorably considered. Moreover, the adyo-
cacy of free trade, which Mr.. Marble
never intermitted fora day, assumes in
Mr.. Hulbert's hands less conspicuous
and less pertinacious quality.
IF Mr.. Marbles retirement from jour-
nalism is to be 6nal, we shall cordially
congratulate him on his realizing that we'll
earned competence which affords the
means of a gentlemanly independence and
the opportunity of pursuing those phil
osophical and literary studies which are so
congenial to his mind, and toward which
every intellectual man. who is still held to
labor and service, must look with feeling
of admiration and of envy.-Ne,o ,York

New YORK, May 2l-The San having

signed which had been open several
months Cor the purchase of all the shares
of the World company, and the transfer
was effected last month.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, August 20, 1879
sPEcULATIoNs CONCERNING MR. KERR's Sue
cEssoR-THE OFFICE OF PRO TEN. SPEAKER
DISSOLVED.
Tho death OF Speaker Kerr was not generally known
in Washington until the newspapers announced it this
morning. Outside Of It's effect socially aud this
spect it received everywhere with profound re-
greet, is started speculation Immediately as to his
probable successor and to the method Of proceed
ing when Congress again comes together. As to the
first OF these matters the opinion that the choice of
Speaker will hc between Messrs s. s Cox, Of New
York, and Milton Sayler, OF Ohio. Curousy enough.
the name OF Mr. Randall, who was Mr. Kcrrs most
formidable competitor and received the next highest
number OF votes in the caucus, Is hardly mentioned
for the pace. 1t is said that Mr.. Randall IS not
desirous now OF the honor. Tho choice would go next
to Mr. Cox but the Western element which has as
sumed much in the of the House. favors the
selection OF Mr. Sayler who the Speaker pro tenn
during the closing six weeks OF the session. Mr.
Sayler made an efficient and acceptable presiding
officer. The name OF Mr. Blackburn, OF Kentucky pcr-
hnps the rcadest dcbater and best-posted parlia-
mentnran on the democratic side and next In these
respects Mr. Blaine is also mentioned possible
candidate The recent advent Of Mr. watterson OF
Kentucky, the floor of the House has also brought
his name forward for the vacant Speakership.
The question has been asked whether Mr.. Sayler as
Speaker pro tenn would preside at he opening Of the
session next December. To this answer IS made that,
with the death OF the Speaker his representative pro
tenn ceases to hold his Office This OF the pos
sible complications which the House afraid OF
the last day of the session Had ilr. Kerr died last
Tuesday afternoon, reported to be the TACT,
the Office Of the Speaker pro tenn. would have expired,
it is said and all legislation that day after the moment
of Mr. Kerr's death and in the absence OF new
Speaker would have been null and void. For this
the House, when 1t convcnes next December, will
be called TO order by the Clerk, and election had
forthwith for Speaker Meantime a democratic
will be called by Mr. Lamar, the permanent chairman
OF the House caucus which will meet few nights be-
fore the opening Of Congress, and settle the choice of
tho party for the position.
