DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
soR THE CURE OF

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
il edgeof the 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 mi.,
taken for d 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 is generally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with a pain
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 of WEAKNESS 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-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

EMPORIA NEW S.
FRIDAY. july ls, ls77.



WASHINGTON, d. c., July IA
statement has recently been COM
piled by the Bureau of Statistics
which shows the remarkable prog
ress made in the expectation of
fresh beef from the United States
to Europe. The frat shipments
were made in October, 1875, when
$4,000 pounds of beef, valued at
$500, were exported. The follow
ing month the same number OF
pounds valued at the same amount
were shipped. These two months
shipments, which appear to have
been experimental, proved emf
nently successful, and from that
time forward the shipments have
steadily increased, going from 3d.
600 pounds in November, 1875, to
l34, 600 In December of the same
year. The year 1876 opened with
the success of the experiment fully
established, and during the first
month of that year 162, 900 pounds
were shipped. For the three
months ending March 3lst, 1871,
100000 pounds, valued &C $6I 900
were exported. The month fol-
following the expectation increased
from 100000 pounds in March to
1,256, 600 pounds, and during the
months Of May, June, July and
August oyer 100000 pounds were
shipped each month. The two fol-
lowing months, September and DC
tober, the shipments averaged
2,500,OOO pounds each month. To
that time the expectation OF fresh
beef was confined to the port of
New York. In October, Philadel-
phia commenced exporting, the
frat shipment in that month from
that port reaching Isl 600 pounds.
The next month, November, Phila-
delphiA shipped nearly l,2lS, 800
pounds and New York shipped
nearly 100000 pounds for the
same month. For the months of
April and May the aggregate ship
ments from New York and Phila-
delphia averaged over 7,0OO,OO
pounds per month.
A comparison of the first three
months Of 1876 with the same Pc
riod OF lS77sswill chow the extent
to which the exploration of fresh
beef has Increased. For the three
months ending March, 1876, the
number of pounds shipped was
10000, valued at SCI, 600. For the
same period of this year the ship
ments reached 14,233,Ol5 pounds
valued at 81, 1866, 972, and these fig
ures are exceeded by those showing
the shipments for April and May
last, during which two months the
number OF pounds exported was
1850 1913, valued at 81 ,537,3S7 The
total number OF pounds exported
from October, 1876, to May 81 last,
q period of 90 months, was so, 1885,
AT pounds, valued at 81, 564, 638.
Of this aggregate there was slip
ped from New York over 10000
600 pounds, and the remainder was
shipped from Philadelphia. The
largest shipment made in any one
month was for April last, when
tho expectation reached S,57S, 2l3
pounds, at q valuation of $685., 31l.
Before the close of the present cal
endar year it Is quite probable the
valuation of the monthly ship
ments Of this new article of domes-
tic export will exceed $l,OOO,OOO.
