LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASES.

By Il. V. PIERCE, NJ. d., Author of "Thc
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
A healthy liver s~ecretes each day about
two and n half pounds of bile, which con-
taIns n great amount of waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or congestcd, 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 condition of the blood
hen it is receiving and retaining each day
two and Il 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 over.
taxed in performing this labor in addition to
their natural functions, and cannot long
withstand the pressure, but become variously
diseased.
Inc brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to 1t from
the heart, and it fails to perform it's Office
healthily. Hence the symptoms Of bile poi

The Republican Platform.
From the Nation.

Of the platform it is difficult to speak
with patience and justice. 1t deals with
the ciyil-service difficulty a little more
infinitely than that of the Philadelphia
convention, but its %utterance, like that
of Philadelphia, is barren proposition,
and neither suggests nor calls for any
legislation, 1t in like manner evades all
speaking of the currency, and, while adj
vocating in a general way a return TO
specie payments at an indefinite date,
says not n word in reference to the
solemn pledge to resume in January,
1879, which the republican party has
placed on the statute book, and which
the democrats are not trying to repeal.
1t throws a sop to the friends of woman
suffrage in the shape of Il glittcring
generally" which may mean much or
nothing, and makes n bid for the vote OF
California by an insinuation that elm
migration and importation of Mongo-
lians" have injurious eff cts on cine
moral and material interests of the
country" thus flying directly in the
face Of that theory of the equality of all
races on which the republican party was
largely built up and on which it has re-
constructed the southern state govern
ments. After a fling at polygamy and Il
reproduction of that old and comic vow
to stand by the soldiers and sailors about
their pensions, it concludes with the Gus
tomary curse on the democratic party
1t may be read with profit by the politi
cal student as an excellent specimen o
the kind of mild imposturc which the
politician of our day tries to practice OF
the people after his party ceases to have
substantial and unmistakable work to do
TO pass any scverer condemnation thai
this on it would be to ascribe to it more
importance than it has or is likely Il
have.

lion and fdgeting, he said:
Gentlemen, do vote. The chair
cannot decide disputed question when
nobody votes on the other side. We
want q direct vote, 80 that the country
may know who are the real, true friends
of General Washington"
Upon this appeal one of the audience
arose and said:
II perceive the unpleasant dilemma
in which the chair is placed, and in or
der to relieve the presiding officer from
his quandary, I now propose to amend
the resolution by adding, after the
name of General Washington-and
John Jones for Congress-.
"The amendment is in order, I ac-
cept the amendment, said the chair
man, speaking very quickly; "and the
chair will now put the question as
amended:
"All those who are in favor of Gener-
al Washington for President, and John
Jones for Congress. will please say
'Aye!"
"Aye-aye!" said John Jones and
his brother, with loud voices, which
they had supposed would be drowned
in the unanimous thunder of the affirm
alive vote.
The "chajr" squirmed and hesitated.
Put the contraryi" said a hundred
voices at the same moment.
All those op-po-po-sed," said
the chair, "will please say mol"
"No-o-o!'" Numbered every voice
but two in the whole assembly, and
those were Jones' and his brothers.
Then followed a roar of laughter, as
Carlyle says, like the neighing of all
Tattersall's.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Jones, "the
chair perceives that there are people in
this meeting who don't belong to our
party; they have evidently come here to
agitate and make mischief. I therefore
do now adjourn this meeting"

me sixth annaap e7hibi6on Of the
Washington Industrial Association has
been in progress the past week on the
Fair Grounds near this place, and will
close this evening. The attendance
has been quite creditable, and the ex-
hibit of mechanical and agricultural
products very fine, considering the
disadvantages attending the first exhi-
bit under the new arrangement.
The display OF fruits and vegetables
are not SO large as of former years,
but the samples is quite as attrac-
tive; and the exhibit of mechanical ap-
planes and fancy articles is unusu-
ally meagre, when compared with that
of either of the former Fairs. This is
probably owing in some degree to the
difficulty of transporting fragile arti-
cles to and from the Fair Grounds.
It is of course impossible at this
time to give synopsis of the products
on exhibition. The list of awards, to
be made to-day, will doubtless embrace
such reference to articles of merit as
will convey a comprehensive idea of
the whole exhibit. Among the arti-
cles, however, decorated with ribbons,
we observe that Halls Wire Suspension
! Spring Bed is marked for the first
premium, and Haley & Knimp's Adius-
table Spring Bed for the second Mr..
r. G.. Esterly, Of Tumwater, took the
first premium for fancy wood-turning,
a distinction richly merited. The fol-
lowing exhibitors are likewise awarded
first premiums: Mr.. Biles, of Tum-
water, for harness and sole leather;
August Mahlem one for beer; H. S.
Scott one for OK yokes; H. D. Morgan
for oars, and Miss NJ. E. Hartsock for
a really unique foot-stool.
1t is thought that the receipts of the
Fair will be more than adequate to
meet the current expenses The i'm
provements that will I've made in the
buildings and grounds in another year
will doubtless render the next Fair far
superior to the present one. It is,
therefore, safe to predict that the sue
cess of the association is assured.
