The Liver is the great depurating purify
lng) organ of the system, and has very ap-
propriately been termed the ''housekeeper''
OF our health. | have observed in the dis
sectlng-room, and also in making poSt-anOrtenl
examinations of the bodies of those who
have died of different diseases, that in a
large proportion of cases, the liver has given
evidence OF having at some time been dis
eased. Liver affections are equally preva-
lent in beasts. Every butcher knows that
the llyers Of cattle, sheep, and swine, are ten
times as frequently diseased as any other
organ. healthy liver each day secretes
about two and half pounds of bile. When
1t 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 ir-
rltating, poisoning, and peryerting, every
vital process. Nature attempts to rid the
system of these noXious materials by means
of other organs, as the kidneys, lungs, skin,
etc, which become oYertaXed in performing
their additional labor, and are unable to
withstand the pressure.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, becomes oyerstimulat-
ed with unhealthy blood, and fails to nor
mally perform its functions. Hence there is
dizziness, headache, impairment of the mem
DRY, dizziness, gloomy forebodings, and ir-
ritability of temper When the blood is
diseased, the skin manifests discolored
spots, pimples, blotches, boils, carbuncles,
and scrofulous tumors. The stomach and
bowels, sooner or later become affected,
and constipation, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia,
or dlarrhea, is the inevitable result.
