DIR. c. MoLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOE TIE CURE or
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under theedge
il of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is In the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to Lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and IS
sometimes mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive 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 painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains ofa
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER
DR.. c. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
