Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
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 fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness the bowels IN general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head Is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation of hay-
ing 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 complains of a 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 forti
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, b1li
cases have occurred where few of then
existed, yet examination of the body
after death, has shown the LIVER tc

AMERICAN INTERESTS ABROAD.

ENGLISH coNsULs IN CHINA REPORT THAT
AMERICAN COTTON GOODS ARE PUSHING
ENGLISH OUT OF THE MARKET.
We commend. says the London Echo. to the con-
sideraton of Manchester manufacturers the latest
volume of Commercial Reports by her Majesty's
Consus in China. They will there find evidence, il
they have found it nowhere else, that the success
which for time attended their efforts to stake
in" John Chinaman by selling him sized cotton
is now at an end, and that the astute Celestials.
however anxious to buy in cheap market, not
fools enough to be cheated long into buying
glue for cotton. They have proverb that "the
jurer does not deceive the man who beats the gong
for him." Masters in the art Of adulterating
and silk. they too clover to be long deceived
by professors III the same line of business The
consequences to English trade and English charac-
ter are what might be expected. Manchester manu-
facturers credited with being makers of shoddy
goods and of little else and the trade in foreign cot
ton textiles is passing into the hands OF the Amer
cans. The port Of Chefoo in 1874 imported 43S 800
pieces OF gray shrtings last year it imported only
229, 463. Though American drill Is forty per cent
dearer than English it is driving the latter out OF the
market or English drills IA pieces were imported
to Chefoo last year. and S,103 American pieces
81 pieces OF English sheeting and 59.943 Amer-
From Hankow. Ningpo and other places the
reports similar. The Lancashire manufacturers
by their devotion to size deliberately shutting
themselves out from the greatest cotton markets in
the world. The province OF Shantung alone has
population of 30.0O0CO0 clothed entirely in cotton.
Socks, caps, even shoes and boots made of the
same material. Sedan chairs often covered with
cotton and wadded curtains Of cotton often supply
the place of doors in their houses. Yet the number
OF cotton pieces imported per annum is only
100000 Last year the enormous number Of
2 600 900 needles entered at the single port of
Chefoo-a remark able indication of the vast guam
province and Of the extent Of the market for cotton
fabrics.
