SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
nAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the lettslde; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-b 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 fappetite 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 aconsiderable 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 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 fortltude
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,
vet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

The Registry law passed by the
Republican Legislature of Ohio, last
winter, is another specimen of the
love Republican politicians have for
poor laboring men! By its proVis-
ions the rich man who owns his own
house is not required to register
but the poor man who rents a home
and moves from one ward of a town
to another, or from one township to
another, must register, or lose his
vote. How long will the poor men
of Ohio continue to vote for a party
whose leaders legislate continually
in favor of the rich and against the
poor!- THillsboro Gazette.
This is a very small piece of dem
agoguery, of which the Gazette
ought to be ashamed. It is no hard
ship for any honest man, rich or poor,
who changes his residence during
the year preceding the election, to
go to the proper place ana register
his name and residence, so that the
trustees will have indisputable eVi-
dence of his right to vote, when he
presents himself on the day of the
election. The chief object of the
law, as the Gazette well knows, is to
prevent men going from ward to
ward in the large cities and voting
again and again-"repeating as
often as they dare-which was done
so effectively in Cincinnati last fall,
by men hired and paid for the pur-
pose, by that great Democratic lead
e,', Eph Holland, the gambler, who
was convicted of the offense by the
U. S. Court q few months ago.

To Tourists.

No portion Of the continent Of America
presents so much of grandeur, beauty and
marvellous interest to the Tourist as the
famous Rocky Mountain region Of East
ern Colorado, in the vicinity Of the beauti-
full City Of Denver. The magnifcenee Of
the mountain scenery is equaled only by
that Of Switzerland, and many Tourists
from abroad have pronounced Colorado
scenery superior even to that Of the Alps.
The popular resorts in the mountains,
famed alike for their grand surroundings
and their magical waters, are daily becOm-
ing recognized as the most del5gfJU IN
America for either health or recreation
Hundreds of people, tired Of the resorts Of
the East, are going to spend the summer
in the grand old Rocky Mountains amid its
charming parks, majestic snOw-clad peaks,
grand canons, clear sky and magic atmos-
phere. The popular Kansas Pacific Rail
wav, with its steel rails and automatic air
brakes, is the favOrite Tourist Route, and
the only line running Pullman caTs from
Kansas City to Denver. Low round trip
rates from al Eastern cities. Descriptive

EASTWARD Ho!"-The following
favorable notice of our young friend
Bailey's book, appeared in the Gin
cinnati Daily Gazette of June 16,

The Gazette seldom awards praise
where it is not deserved, and Mr..

by such warm commendation from
such q source. The editor says:

hardened tourists may smile at the
idea of putting in print the record
of journey taken by hundreds OF
thousands, yet there are millions who
have never seen what Mr.. Bailey
saw, and those who have been over
the grounds will discover in his fresh
and unpretending narrative evidence
that he observed much that es
capped their eyes. While what be de-

Railroad TO Winchester.

Saturday, Aug. 4th, was a proud
day for Winchester and Adams coun.
ty. On that day the first railroad
ever constructed in Adams county
was opened to the public, and
the first train of cars arrived at
Winchester. The people gathered
in from far and near, and the crowd
present is estimated at from 5000 to
10000. The train of over 80 cars
brought in about 22OO people,
Judge Swing, of Batavia, President
Woodward, Of the @. &E. R. R., Capt.
Downey, of Winchester, and others,
made speeches, a dinner was spread
in the grove, and altogether the
occasion was celebrated with great
enthusiasm.
We congratulate the people Of cur
neighboring county on at last having
a railroad within their borders, which
will give them what they have so
long needed, facilities for travel and
transportation of their products
equal to those Of other sections Of
the State, and for want of which
Adams county, though one of the
first settled in Southern Ohio, has
so long remained comparatively poor
and unknown. Her resources will
now be rapidly developed, and with
the Gin. & Eastern finished to Ports
mouth, a branch road to West Union,
the county seat, and one to Manches-
ter, on the river, she will in a few
years realize a large increase in pop
wealth and prosperity.

Both Temperance Men.

The rapid growth Of public seuti-
ment In Ohio in favor Of Temperance,
during the past few years, is plainly
seen in the nomination Of sound
Temperance men by both parties,
for the highest Office in the State.
Both Judge West and Mr.. Bishop,
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, were members Of the last Con
stitutionaI Convention, and advocated
strong measures restricting and reg
ulating the sale Of liquor Both
were in favor Of license and local
option; Judge West wanted it in
corporated in the Constitution, and
Mr.. Bishop wanted the Legislature
to have charge of it, being compelled
by the Constitution to pass such
laws as were desired. In advocating
his.views, Mr.. Bishop said
81 am, sir, in favor Of licensing
the sale Of intoxicating liquors. That
1 consider an important step toward
a reformation in the regulation Of
the liquor traffic; but that is not
sufficient. There is some
thing more needed to regulate the
traffic In liquors than a mere right
to sell, which right is itself a ques-
ton Of bargain and sale. The rem
der must be made to feel that he IS
engaged az q responsible and some
'cbat dangerous business; that the
law watches him with a Jealous eye,
and will hold him responsible for all
the evils arising from his perilOus
business.
