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 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 of appetite 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 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 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 where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
teHsively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. G. 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 ali
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them A FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

No evidence of dissatisfaction Was visible until
after the advent Of the Manthestcrs, when he

TIT MEETING At BUFFALO: 49,.
which closed last Friday cannot be said to
have been success. In fect, it came near be-
ing a failure. Heretofore 'tO}d Buff" !" has
been the fasoritc place In the Eastern circuit,
but this year the ancient glory seems to have
entirely departed. The crowds were smaller
than for years. and although the various events
were we'll contested, there: seemed to be lack
OF enthusiasm among those who attended. The
Buffalo papers attribute tue lack Of attendance
aud Interest entirely to the absence Of pool-seI-
Ing, and, a. they ort in position to Judge, THB
TRIBUNE takes their statements as worthy OF
bt9fef. In former seasons there has always been
something sensational in the trottlng line at the
Buffalo meeting, and it Was only last year that
Goldsmith Majd astonished tho world BY trot-
ting the fastest three consecutive heats on
record over Buffaio traek. This year there WIS
nothing startling, and the general opinion
SEEMS To- be that it was only the old-time
reputation of the track that saved the meeting
FROM complete. failure. With regarl to the
table Of winning horses which concludes this
article. 1t will De noticed that Rarus heads the
list with $3,QD to his credit. This is owning to
the fact that he won both the 2 :19 and free-ior
all Races, Johu Splan lnying been induced to
start him ip the latter By tile managers of the
track Judge Fullerton having been drawn GU

In the same races as that horse, aud captured

this season than ever before, and before
the season closes will have won good lot OF
money for her osners. Another feature OF the
meeting was the failure OF the highly-bred
mare. Dame Trot, to win any part OF the 2:27
purse, fl which she was entered. This mare Is
1ull sister Of Prospero, being by Messenger
Duroe, out OF Green Mountain Maid, by Har-
