LIVER COMPLAINTS,

6tu @h S0"t GfIhN ~ .
Properly, every arrangement of
the liver or bilious system is liver
complaint; but the peculiar state
now referred to is a CHRONIC AT
FICTION, and it usually arises
from torpid or congestive state Of
that important organ. Sometimes
the bile is deficient in quantity or
vitiated, or both these states pre-
vail at the same time. Sometimes
the disease is caused by an obstruc-
ton in the duct or pipe which con-
veys the bile from the liver into the
bowels.
This obstruction is very frequent
and is usually caused by the pipe
being clogged up by thick, tenacious
slime or mucous. and sometimes by
gall stones. The bile is then
thrown back into the gall bladder.
where il is absorbed by numerous
small vessels which convey it to the
Thoracic duct. and from thence the
bile is conveyed to the heart, and
becomes mixed with the blood. The
biles in this manner being diverted
from its proper course and circulat-
ing in a part OF the body where il
was never designed by nature, pro-
duces evil and often disastrous eff
fects upon the health OF the indi-
vidual for want of healthy bile 10
mix with the half digested food. AS
results, cOstiveneSs, or alternately
costiveness and diarrhoea. prevail;
together with wind in the stomach
and bowels. and the patient is often
annoyed with worms and frequently
with Piles.
The coarse particles of the bile
thus mixed with this blood. more
or less obstruct the pores OF the skin
and small blood vessels, and hence
give rise 10 various diseases of the
skin. 1t becomes more or less yell
low, and sometimes there is a per-
feet jaundice The white of the
eyes also has a green or yellow
tinge. More or less bile is strained
off from the blood in its passage
through the kidneys, and is mixed
with the urine.
a white or brown scurf There is
irritation and frequently chronic
inflammation of the inner surface
of the stomach and bowels. Some
times there is q loathing OF food and
at other times there is a voracious
appetite.
There is a feeling of oppression
across the stomach and chest, as if
pressed down by a weight; trouble
some and often frishtful dreams,
low spirits. languor and want Of en-
ersy.
To sum up in 4 few words. a SEN

across the abdomen, with tenderness
on pressure; lowness of spirits. Bill

rhoea and dysenteries; Obstinate
costiveness. Jaundice. etc, may all

The most successful treatment Is
to give the patient every night on
going to bed from one to two lax
carin tablets, or enough OF them 10
insure one evacuation from the
bowels next morning. The dose OF
laxcarin can be increased or dinin-
ished at pleasure. so as 70 produce
the above effect. and their use
should be continued as long as
