Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN 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 a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite 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 to 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
prickly 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
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,

We are permitted to copy the following
letter, received yesterday by Mr.. John G..
Priest, from one of the leading delegates
to the St. Lor's convention from New
York:
New YORK, June 18th, 1876
My DEAR PRIEST: l am afraid shall
not be able to attend the convention in St
Louis. If do not | shall transfer my
rooms to some of my New York friends
My partner leaves for England on the 9th
and | must be here. But there is ap
parently no special reason for my at.
tendance. 1t is now plain that Tilden viii
be nominated very soon after organization,
probably on the second or third ballot
This result is satisfactory to Inc, though
Mr.. Tilden is not my first choice-but it il
so plain to me that he is tie embodiment
of the reform movement, which is now 81
important everywhere, that it is certain ht
can carry New York by large vote, anc
Connecticut and New Jersey also, ant
that there is no one else who stands any
thing like an equal chance with Tiden
that dare not hazard the success of thu
party, which i believe TO be that of thu
country too, by permitting my persona
prejudices to have any weight.
believe that we can win with Hancock
or Bayard, and l prefer the latter to al
others; but there is more doubt with eithe
than with TildeG.
Do not listen to any nonsense as I,
Tildens inability to carry this state. fl
will do so by over thirty thousand-prob
ably with oyer fifty thousand. Those VIII
talk differently are ignorant Of the tru
feeling here or have some personal motive
and at the election you may count all tn
Democrats of this state, who do not SUP
part him earnestly, on your hand.
Yours truly. $. L. NJ. B.
