THE LIVER.
The Unusual attention 3chich this
organ is nO1C attracting from
the 4merican People.
Its Delicate Structure and Susceptibility to Injury
from Wounds or Disease.

and hence less attention and care have been bestow
supposed to play so important part in making war
and cajong love. Undoubtedly the discovery of
the fact that the liver is not the of the affections
and of the passions, has led the people, As is natural
to neglect what formerly was object of great so
licitude but the truth still remains that though it
may not be the special seat of love and passion, it
is after all of the greatest Importance in physical
health
During the past few weeks, owing to an event of
about the injurious effects of wounds in this organ,
and according to the Surgical History of the War
wounds in the liver, not above sixty survived and
they were not violent The record is filed with
recoveres from gunshot wounds in the head the
lungs and the pelvic region, but it is miracle
when one outvcs even an ordinary wound in the
liver. No other proof is needed of the delicacy of
its structure, nor OF its extreme susceptibility to in
the result of disease. OF course injury from II
wound produces speedy results, and though organic
diseases may affect the patient for years, and
der his life long continued burden, the same end
is eventually reached
The structure of the liver is delicate and vet sim
pie 1t is composed of two lobes, which lie directly
under the right lung, and is of II spongy character
When the venous blood is circulating from the va.
rous parts OF the body to the lungs, it passes
posons part of which are used for digestion and
part for cuthartc of the waste materials of the
pos0ns remain IN it, instead of being used rs ma
ture designed and with every conr5ine of the blood
through the obes of the liver the nature of the dis
is intensified, and hence a neglect of any dis
order in this organ is almost certain to bring on
chronic liver diseases, so terrible TO contemplate
In curing liver troubles, not only must the organ he
rid of its Old complaint, but, at the same time it
must be prevented from contracting other dis
eases, and the agency used must have such power
with the kidneys and lungs (the other two purifiers
of the blood) That it WILL while restoring the i'm
paired liver, give to them strength sufficient to do
There is a peculiar dependency between the Kidneys
and liver and no remedy can pc of benefit which
does not act upuu both at th. same time The rpn
why little success h.t- hitherto been reached
in the treatment of liver disease l. because the
philosophy of the treatment has been lame and the
remedies employed have been Inadequate. it is
conceded fact that unlt within the past few years
thrr" has been no known remedy fur chronic kidney
diseases, and it is certain that the liver cannot be
restored t" its right action If the kidneys affect
ed. II Is a fact that when the liver is diseased the
kidneys are also troubled hence, it follows that Iiv
doctors know Of no agency which will at one and
the time operate on both the kidneys and the
liver.
Admitting then, that no form of treatment can he
effective which does not seek to reach both the liver
and the kidneys at the same ti.ne it would he
Strange, indeed, if in MI the researches of this won
derful age Of scientific invention no such remedy
had been found. The doctors admit they have moth
ing to otr, but independent scientists have honor
ed their learning and patience, by discovering
pure vegetable remedy whose success in the past
few wears in the treatment of kidney difficulties,
known kidney disease, and what it has done for the
kidneys it is equally able to n and does do for the
liver. Warner Safe Kidney and Liver Cure was
the discovery of practitioner, who proved its
worth in his case and then gave it to the world
1t acts both food and rc5torer on the kidneys
and liver that when disease is cured in one Of
these organs it cannot go the other but entire
y removed from the system.
The symptoms of kidney and liver difficulties are
great and unnatural wcariness, headache, belching
of wind and food from the stomach constipation
piles, dispacements and Inflammation of the sexual
tions and the especially fatal complaints of the hot
season. These troubles are caused principally by
great an evil in this land, so much 50 that PIesi
dent Paul \. Chalbourne, of Williams College has
just published Il long and interesting article on its
wide spreading prevalence. He states that malaral
posons appear in all localities, the high and dry,
the low and damp, IN the crowded city and the
roomy country, and there are no differences as to
the effects produced Malaria is in the water
drink, in the air preatne III tnc food we eat and
while constantly and naturally increasing with the
growth of the country, it is jus at present atlicng
US, as the eplzooty did few ears ago, as Il wide
spread and dangerous epidemic. Prof. Chadbomne
Is not an aarmist and what he says is confirmed by
other distinguished medical authorities.
What, therefore, can be the cause for this terrible
increase of malaria in all parts of the states and
territories: Cnquestionably the drinking water
used IN every portion Of the land is the most active
agency for carrying malaria into the system. This
water may be clear, but it has become poisoned by
hltratlon through the vaults cesspools, and barn
yards IN the country and other impure agencies in
the city. Heretofore the Western states and ter
lltores and almost the entire South have been con
5idered the field of malaria, owing doubtless to the
poor drainage in many localities and the consequent
accumulation of green poisonous matter. This
theory Is, however, ROW eNploded because malarial
poisoning is becoming Just as common in other
regions, and those which have been settled for hun
rcds of years. Nor are low lands alone subject to
malaria, for it is found in the Berkshire Hills of
New England and up among the SHOWS of the Rocky
Mountains.
Whatever may be the cause of malaria, its exist
ence is terribly established fact, and much so
that it is attracting the attention of the leading
physicians, scientists and scholars in every portion
of America. BY means of its blighting powers the
blood becomes poisoned and the most terrible dis
eases follow The special field for the operation of
this poison is in the liver. If this organ is at all
diseased, malaria seizes it with death grip. 1t is
therefore, absolutely necessary to keep the liver In
perfect condition and especially at this time The
