MANY SUFFERERS
Liver Complaint A By.WOrd
With Sufferers Here.

The liver is much more frequent
~ the seat of disease than is gen
orally supposed. The function it is
designed to perform, and on the
regular execution of which depends
not only the general health of the
body, but the bowels of the StOm-
ach. Bowels, brain, and the whole
nervous system shows its vast and
vital importance 10 human health
when the Liver is seriously dis
eased, it in fact not only deranges
the vital functions of the body,
but exercises a powerful influence
over the mind and its operations,
which cannot be easily described.
1t has so close q connection with
other diseases and manifests itself
by so great a variety of systems Of
a most doubtful character that it
misleads more physicians. even OF
great eminence, than any other vital
organ. The intimate connection
which exists between the Liver and
the Brain and the great dominion
which it exercises over the pas
sions Of mankind. convince one that
many unfortunate beings have COM
mitted acts of criminal atTOcity, or
become what fools term hypo-
chOndriacs, simply from a diseased
state of the Liver. More than three
fOurths of the diseases enumerated
under the head of Consumption
have their seat in a diseased Liver.
After many years of experience, a
specialist highly recommended the
following prescription. which he
has successfully used for many
years:
Tincture Cinchona Compound. 21b
