The Liver is the great depurating (puri-
fviDgj organ Cf the system, ard has very
appropriately been termed the house
keeper" OF our health. l have observe. in
the dissec,ing room, and al-o in making
post-mortem examinations OF The bodies Of
those who have died from 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 butcher knows
that the livers of cattle, sheep and swine,
are ten times as frequently diseased as any
other organ. A healthy liver each day
secretes 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 per
verting every vital process. Nature at
tempts to rid the system of these noxious
materials BY means of other organs, as the
kidneys, lungs, skin, etc, which become
overtaxed in performing their addition Ia
Dor, and are unable to withstand the pres
sure.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, becomes overstimula-
ted with unhealthy blood, and fails to
normally perform its functions. Hence
there is dullness, headache, impairment Of
the memory, dizziness, gloomy forebodings,
and irrafibility of temper. When the
blood is diseased, the skin manifests dis
coiored spots, pimples, blotches, boils, car
buncles and scrofulous tumors. The stom-
ach and bowels sooner or later become
affected, and constipation, piles, dropsy,
dyspepsia, or diarrhe,, is the inevitable
result.
