THE LIVER.
The Unusual Attention Which this Organ
is now Attracting from the
American People,

Il sv-...
Its Delicate Structure and Susceptibility t.
Injury from Wounds or Disease.
In the opinion of the 0ncients tho liver was the
seat ofthe affections and of the passions Mod
ern research, however, has shswn this to be an
error, and hence less attention and care have
been bestowed on this organ than in the early
days when it was supposed toplay so important
a part in making war and cajolng love. I'm.
doubleday the discovery Of the fact that the liver
Is not the seat Of the affections aud of the pas
slons has led the people, as is natural, to neglect
what formerly was an object of great solicitde,
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 national interest much has been said and
written about the injurious effects of wounds in
this organ, and according to the Surgical History
Of the War of the Rebellion, of the Thousands of
cases Of wounds in the liver, not above sixty
survived, and they were not violent ones. The
record is filed with recoveries from gunshot
wounds in the head, the lungs and the pelvic
region, but ii is q miracle" when one outlivcs
even an ordinary wound in the liver. No other
proof is needed Of the deHcacy of its structure,
nor of its extreme susceptibility to injuries,
whether Violent like gunshot wound, or as the
t.,r1 ,t,,s,,
produces speedy results, and though organic
diseases may affect the patient for years, and
render his life Il hong continued burden, the same
end is eventually reached
The structure of the liver is delicate and yet
simple. It's composed of two lobes, which lie
directly under the right lung. and is Of u
spongy character. When the venou blood is
circulating from the various parts of the body to
the lungs, it passes through this organ, and is
there relieved of its rank poisons, part of which
are used for digestion, and part for a cathartc Of
the waste materials of the food VIC cat If the
organ is at all diseased these poisons remain In
it, instead of being used as nature designed;
and with every coursing of the blood through
the lobes Of the liver. the nature of the disease
Is intensified and neglect of any disorder in
this organ is almost certain To bring on chronic
liver disease 80 terrible TO contemplate. In eur.
ing liver troubles, not only must the organ be
rid of its old complaint but at the same time, it
must bo prevented from contracting other dis
eases, and the agency used must have such
power with the kidneys and lungs (thc other two
purifiers of the blood) that II WILL while restor-
ing the impaired liver give to them strength
sufficient TO do part Of the purifying
work Of tie disabled organ. There Is pccu-
liar dependency between the kidneys and liver
and no remedy can bc Of benefit which does not
act upon both ut the same time. The reason
why SO little success has hitherto been reached
In the treatment of livCr diseases is because tho
philosophy of treatment has been lame and the
remedies employed have been inadequate. II Is
a conceded fact that until within the past few
years there has been no known remedy for
chronic kidney diseases and II Is certain that the
liver cannot be restored TO its right action II the
kidneys are affected. 1t Is fact that when tho
liver is diseased the kidneys are also troubled;
hence, 1t follows that liver diseases are hard to
cure chiefly because the doctors know of no
agency which viii at ono and the same time
operate on both the kidneys and the liver.
Admitting then that no form OF treatment
can be effective which does not seek TO reach
both the liver and the kidneys at the same time,
II would be strange, indeed, If in all the re-
searches OF this wonderful age of scientific inven
ton no such remedy had been found The doc
tors admit they have nothing TO offer, but indie
pendent scientists have honored their learning
and patience, by disco ering pure vegetable
remedy whose success In the past few years In
the treatment OF kidney difficulties, shows con-
olusively that 1t can cure every form of known
kidney disease, and what II has done for the kid
deys II Is equally able to do and does for the
liver. Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver cure was
the discovery of practitioner, who proved
It's worth In his own case and then gave Il to the
world. II acts both as q food and rcstOrer on
the kidneys and liver so that when disease is
cured In one of these organs II cannot so to the
other but Is entirely removed from the system.

troubles are caused principally by malaria
which Is, at the present time, becoming so great

Just published q long and interesting article on
