SYMPTOMS of a DiseasedLiver.

symptoms OF OlseaSedLlVel.
DAM in the right side, under the
| 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
ior 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 a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of mem
DRY, accompanied with a painful sen.
,ation Of having left undone some.
thing 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 'sensa.
.ion 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 it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex.
:sted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

of indefinite length, or as the representatives
OF such periods. This view Is hold oy a late
writer in the Edingburg Revtep, WHO presents
a striking parallel between the Geological
periods, and the days OF creation as delinea,
ted BY the pen of Moses. 1t Ia also sustained
by the weight OF many distinguished names,
both In this country and In Europe, and by
many OF the cosmogonies Of the heather
world. But many objections exist TO this
theory: among others, that the same word
in Exodus referring TO the act OF creation is
used 10 designate n literul day; and again,
that as existing races are not TO be found
nInonC the fossils of the ancient world, the
description OF Moses applies to them only.
A theory Of Interpretation however which
certainly agrees with tne iacs OF Geoio,
from the scripture account or the creation,
holds,
THAT MOSES MERELY STATED THE TIME OF
THE ORIGINAL CREATION
by the term ain the beginning" and after q
long period, sufficient to meet the demand
OF Geology, records the work OF Six natural
days, less than six thousand years ago. This
theory has been held by some OF the early
fathers OF the Church, is now sustained BY
the majority of Biologists. and Is reconcila-
BILE alike with the facts OF Geology and AS,
tronomy. A modification Of II was proposed
we'll as a philologlst and geologist. who in an
able work urges that the original creation OF
matter was at a very remote period IN the
indefinite past, but Ina the SIX Gays OF creao
occupied in preparing only a portion of tho
earth for our first parents, and that the flood
Of Noah was confined to this portion, and
has LEFT no trace OF Its effects which can be
distinguished from those Of previous and
similar floods. This opinion though sustain
ed by great learning and ability seems to be
too visionary TO meet with much favor, either
from the Geologist or theologian.
A second discrepancy has been supposed to
arise from the common Interpretation OF the
Bible, that
DEATH DID NOT EXIST AMONG H INFERIOR
until the fall of man, whilst Geology shows
that majority of animals died before that
time. A sufficient answer to this objection
would be, that the reference OF Scripture is
to the human race, alone, as is shown By the
contrast drawn between Adam n Christ In
bringing death and life upon the human
family. Another solution Of this difficulty
