The Liver is the great depurating (purify-
ing) organ of the system, and has very appro-
priately been termed the 'housekeeper' of our
health. have observed in the dissecting-
room, and also in making post-mortem exam-
nations of the bodies of those who have died
of different diseases, that in large proportion
of cases, the liver has given evidence of having
at some time been diseased. Liver affections
are equally prevalent in beasts. Every butch
er knows that the livers of cattle, Sheep and
swine, are ten times as frequently diseased as
any other organ. A healthy liver each day Sc
eretes about two and half pounds of bile
When it becomes torpid, congested, or if, from
any cause, it be disabled in the performance of
its duties, it is evident that the elements of the
bile must remain in the blood, thus irritating,
poisoning, and perverting, every vital process.
Nature attempts to rid the system of these nox-
ious materials by means of other organs, as the
kidneys, lungs, skin, ETC., which become over
taxed in performing their additional labor,
and are unable to Withstand the pressure.
The brain, which is the great electrical Gen.
ter of all vitality, becomes overstimulated with
unhealthy blood, and fails to normally perform
its functions Hence there is dullness, head
ache, impairment of the memory, dizziness,
gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper.
When the blood is diseased, the skin manifests
discolored spots, pimples, blotches, boils, car
buncles, and scrofulous tumors. The stomach
and bowels, sooner or later, become affected,
and constipation, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, or
diarrhea, is the inevitable result.
