CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under theI
edge of 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 mis-.
taken for a 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 apain-
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 sympi
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.

Will over 'he hills th.. shadows fall,
And over The meadowS gray,
Aud the cares of many "a busy hour
Steal fast from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through msts of

To the church yard under the hill,

Lies soft and pure aud still,
And where her treasures. SO long ago,
She laid at the Masters will.
Aud all now Oft , the days 60 10y,
She starts, as her listening ear
H1s almost canght on the passing breeze
Voices SO sweet aud clear.
''Tis the angels calling - she thinks. Gal

In the dusk of a winters day,
Aud he sits him down by mis- faithful wife,
And she parts his locks gray,
Aud looks in his face with loving smile
That years steal never away.
Aud back again, as her dim eyes turn
To the hills where The shadows fall,
She thinks, My treasures are lying there.
But He has nov taken all,
Since one Is waiting beside me still
Till the angels voices call"
But the weeks are slow, and the aged two,

Ere they, at the Masters will, may lie
Where their treasures are laid away.
