Cooking With Poor Butter.

Professor Mott says: "There can be
no doubt that a very large per cent.
of the sickness among the poorer
classes is due to the use Of rancid
butter" .,. u.s.. T,,.'-'...,
If this is true, all classes must suf-
fer from the same cause. Poor peo-
pie eat rancid butter, uucooked, on
their bread; bat tho same quality Of
butter is used ia cooking at some Of
the highest. priced boarding houses,
restaurants, and hotels. fit isin-
furious to health-,and we suppose it
is-we apprehend it is Injurious cook
ed as we'll as uncooked. The only
difference is that in cooking the bad
taste is disguised by mixing other
materials with it.
Many private families buy butter
to cook with which they would never
think of putting on the table. The
idea Of its bei1g unwhelas6pep has
not occurred. ID them. j Bat Il PfSfss.
sor Mott is right, rancid butter Should
be discarded entirely, even in cook
ing.
1t is worthy of remark that while
excellent butter has been recently
sold as low as seyenteeH cents a
pound, a few diaries still continue to
command one dollar a pound for all
they produce.

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DA1N in the right side, under the
edge ofthe ribs, increases npres-
lure; sometimes the pains 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 a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
'rhcreisgenera.ly onsiderableloss
ofmemory, accompanied withapain-
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. Aslight, 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-
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.
