FORTY YEARS BEFORE THE PUBLIC
DIR. G. M0LANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge ofthe ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss OF
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
There isgenera,ly considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied withapain-
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
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 bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
edy. Several of the above symp-
IONS attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
alter death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills,
| IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
ofthe most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine. We
would advise all who arc afflicted
with this disease to give them 4
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
Us a simple purgative, they are IN
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIoEs.

LIVER PILLS are never sugar coated.

When we were once visiting the cA-

chitect in our company made the re-
mark that the artisans who cut the orna

care in giving the utmost finish 10 the
highest parts at the top Of the spire.
where scarcely ever any one had a chance
TO admire their admirable workmanship

these ages before the fact could be apprc
