Symptoms Of 4 Diseased Liver.

DAlN in the right side, under the
i 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 stom.
ach IS affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costlve, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull. heavy sen.
satlon in the back part. There is gen.
orally considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with painful sensation
Of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of WEAKNESS
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he COM
plains Of prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low: and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him. yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact. he distrusts every remedy.
Several Of the above symptoms attend
the disease. but cases have occurred
where few Of them existed, yet exam.
ination Of the body, after death, has
shown the LIVER to have been extern
sively deranged.
