equally prevalent in beasts. Every butcher knows
that the livers of cattle, Sheep and swine, 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 perform
ance 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. Ma
ture attempts to rid the system of these nOxiOus
tterials by means of other organs, as the Kidneys

ach and bowels sooner or LATER become affected, and
constipation, piles dropsy dyspepsia or darrha, is
the inevitable result.
