DIR. G. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
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 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 a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a 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 of a
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 wherefew ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.

give them FAIR TRIAL.

would lose flesh rapidly. But with an
abundance of feed in winter and summer
they make the best beef cattle known.
Cows Of this breed often reach from
1 ,500to ], 800 lbs live weight, and sell
to the butcher for $10O to $3.50 A five
ysar-old COW lately Killed, on failing to

CARE OF HORSES.
The following rules for feeding
horses are taken from London. Eng )
publication. 1t is we'll occasionally to
read the opinions Of English farmers on
the subject: "When horse is worked
hard its food should be chiefly oats; if
not worked hard its food should chiefly
be hay, because oats supply more nour-
ishment and flesh making material than
any other kind Of food; hay not so
much. Rack feeding is wasteful. The
better plan is to feed with chopped hay,
from a msngcr. because the food is not
thrown out, and is more easily chewed
and digested. Sprinkle the hay with
water that has salt dissolved 10 1t, be-
cause it is pleasing to the animals
taste and the hay is more easily
digested. A teaspoonful of salt to a
bucket Of water is sufficient.

cases cure. To case where COW
