This important organ weighs but about lbs,

lgallons) passes through it at least every half
lhout. to have the bile and other impurities
ALTERED from it. Bile is the natural purgative
tof the bowels, and if the Liver becomes tor
Ipid it is not separated from the blood. but
carried through the veins to all parts Of the
system, and in trying to escape through the
lpores of the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a
dirty brown color. The stomach becomes dis
leased, and Dyspepsia. Constipation, Headache,
lBiliousness, Jaundice. Chills, Malarial Fevers,
piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general de-
bility follow. Merrell's Hepatine, the great
vegetable discovery for torpidity. causes the
liver to throw off from one to two ounces of
bile each time the blood passes through it, as
long as there is an excess of bile; and the eff
fleet of even few doses upon yellow complex
ion or a brown dirty looking skin, will aston
ish all who try it-they being the first symp-
toms to disappear. The cure of all bilious dis
eases and liver complaint is made certain by
taking Hepatine in accordance with direc-
tions. Headache is generally cured in twenty
minutes. and no disease that arises from the
liver can exist if a fair trial is given.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR.

The Olympia Transcript has this to
say of the late Territorial Fair:
The annual Territorial Fair closed on
Tuesday evening. and. as giving an ex.
hibit Of the products and industries OF
the country, it was better than usual.
The exhibit, as far as quality was con-
cerned, was first class; but. with the
exception OF Lewis and King counties.
the amount was small to what it should
have been. The bad weather kept many
exhibitors as we'll as visitors from at
tending; but we regret to say that
many of the best farmers. who have
cattle. horses. sheep, hogs. fruits and
vegetables of the finest qualities. take
no interest in this matter Some want
greater premiums. other- do not like til c
management, aud more do not apprs-
c,ate the good it wonld do them aud the
country by attending. Whether il rained
or not. many Of these classes would
never attend. aud those who do III uld
not be disheartened by their actions 1t
10 to the interest OF the farmers parti-
cularly that these fairs should be sue
cessful. We are glad to know that the
Fair was not failure. and, With all its
drawbacks. that it has come out in a
better condition than last year.
