Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; 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 extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally a considerable loss
Ofmemory, accompanied with pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
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 bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem

toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

The Blaine Bond Story.
THE BOSTON HERALD'S LATEST EDIT
THE

OF THE SCANDAL.
The Boston Herald publishes the report of
an interview with a prominent awyer of

tors OF Warren Fisher, jr., contractor for
building the Fort Smith and Little Rock
railroad, in their investigation to discover
what became OF the 81 900 1000 bonds and
securities said to have been given to Fisher.
The attorney says according 10 the tele-
graphic report OF the story from Boston,
that Fisher testified that he paid to Hon j
g. Blaine $3.50, 900 for no cons Ideration what.
ever; that Caldwell, who acted as his agent
in negotiating the securities, used great
enterprises. He characterized the state
ment of Colonel Scott as absolutely false.
Scott testified on oath that he paid eighty
cents on the doliar for $4,000 worth OF the
bonds as an Investment. At that time the
bonds were selling in the market for 80. II
Scott paid what he said he gave for the
bonds, no one will believe he was fool enough
to do 1t as legitimate Investment.
At the time the bonds were said TO have
been purchased Scott was fighting for
the right OF way for the Baltimore and

II he meant that he bought the Little Rock
and Fort Smith bonds as an Investment to

may have been correct enough in his asser-
ton. 1t was known that Blaine was largely
interested in the Little Rock and Fort Smith
road; that he had intimate relations with
caldwell, who was very liberal in placing
bonds OF the road where they woul1 do them
most good. III he bought the bonds from Mr..
Blaine directly or Indirectly, and Mr.. Blaine
even received the advance it would be profit,
but If he did not have to pay for them then
the profit would be much larger. Caldwell
said the act OF March, 1870, cost the ROAD
$500 A year afterwards, in 1871, when
the bonds were receding at from Is to 80 per
cent. OF par value, Scott turned his invest
