Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAN in the right side, under the l 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 mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach IS affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensa- ton of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- else would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after 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 of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
 For all bilious Arrangements, and as simple purgative, they are unequaled.
 BEWARE OF LIMITATIONS.
 The genuine are never sugar coated.
 Every box has red wax seal on the lid, with the impression DR. McLANE's LIVER PILLS.
 The genuine McLANE's LIVER PILLS bear the signatures of C. McLANE and FLEMING BROS. on the wrappers.
 Insist upon having the genuine DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, prepared by Flem- ing Bros, of Pittsburgh, Pa., the marke, being full of limitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation.

EDISON'S ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Tho announcement that on Christmas Eve Mr..
Edison would throw open his laborstory to the
public and light up Menlo Park with his new elec-
trio light seems to have been prematurely made. A
HERALD reporter yesterday called on the inventor
and asked him concerning the proposed exhibition.
"I never announced that would show the lighs
on Christmas Eve," was his reply.
"But'it has been extensively reported that you
would" suggested the reporter.
