A healthy liver secrets each day about
two and half pounds OF bile, which con;
tains o great amount Of waste material
taken from the blood. When the llVer De'
comes torpid or congested, It fails 70 ellHi'
nate this vast amount Of no1ious substance,
which, therefore, remains to poison inc
blood, and be conveyed to every part Of 'hG
system. What must be the condition Oh
the blood when II is receiving and retain

on} Nature tries to work of this poison
throuvh other channels and organs-thc
kidneys, lungs, etc., but these organs Pc
conc overtaxed in performing ms Iaoor IN
addition 10 their natural functions, and
cannot long withstand the pressure, but be.
come variCusly diseased.
The brain, which Is the great electrical
center OF all vitality, Is unduly stimulated
nv tlIc unhealthy blood which passes to II
from the heart, and II fails to perform Its
Office healthily. Hence the symptoms Of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, head.
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment OF memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy fore.
bOdfngs, and irritability OF temper. The
blood itself being diseased, rs 1t forms the
sweat upon the surface Of the skin, 1t Is SO
irritating and poisonous that It produces
discolOred brown spots, pimples, blotches,
and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbunc!eS,
and scrOfulous tumors. The stomach,
bowels, and other organs, cannot escape
becoming affected, sooner or later, and we
have, as the result, coStiycneSs, piles, drop.
sy, dyspepsia, diurrhpa. Other symptoms
are common, as bitter or bad taste in mouth,
internal heat, pRlpitatiOn, teasing cough,
unsteady appetite, chOaking sensation in
throat, blOating Of stomach, pain In the
side or about shoulders or back, GOODNESS
OF extremitieS, etc., etc. Only few OF the
above symptoms are likely to be present in
any case at one time. The liver being the

Of the system. set this great "housekeeper
Of our health" ut work, and the foul cor.
ruptions which gender In the blood, and rot

gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, with very small doses daily Of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, is
pre-eminently the articles needed. They

A funny little iudident concerning
Senator Conkling came to my knowledge
to-day. He was dining at Wormley's sit
ting alone at his table. A gentleman who
knows him intimately passed down the din
ing.room, and not having seen him since
the New York Convention, my friend stop
ped to offer congratulations, taking a va
cant chair beside Mr.. Conkling. The con-
gratualations were accepted, but there
was not the usual warmth manifested in
tho succeeding chat; the Senator had
evidently something unpleasant upon his
mind, he fidgeted with his napkin, toyed
with his fork, looked longingly at the
'latnlies before him but never touched
them. Finally, looking up with dis
gusted face, he said, "Really, my friend,
excuse me, but-you are saturated win
nicOtinep Ofcourse my friend departed
instanter. How in the world with such
exquisite sensibilities has the honorable
gentleman endured the sights and smells
