LIVER

This important organ weighs but about
three pounds, and all the blood in a living
person (about three gsllons) passes through
it. at least once every half hour, to have the
bile and other impurities strained or filtered
from it. Bile is the natural purgalive of the
bowels, and if the Liver becomes torpid it is
not separated from the blood, but carried
through the veins to all psrts of the system,
and in trying to escape throug b the pores OF
the skin, causes it to turn yellow or y dirty
brown color. The stomach becomes diseased
and Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation,
Headache, Bilieusness, Jsundice, Chll!s,
Malsrisl Fevers, Piles, Sick and Sour Stora-
sch. and general debility follow. MEk-
BELLS HEPATINE, the great vegetable
discovery for torpidity, csuses the Liver 70
