LIVER COMPLAINTS

LIVER COMPLAINTS
Properly, every arrangement Of the
liver or bilious system is a liver COM
plant; but the peculiar state now re-
ferred to is CHRONIC AFFECTION,
and it usually arises from torpid or
congestive state Of that important or
gan. Sometimes the bile is deficient
in quantity or vitiated, or both these
states prevail at the same time. Some
times the disease is caused by an OBJ
struction in the duct or pipe which
conveys the bile from the liver into
the bowels.
This obstruction is very frequent
and is usually caused by the pipe be-
ing clogged up by thick, tenacious
slime or mucus, and sometimes by gall
stones. The bile is then thrown back
into the gall bladder where it is alb
sorbed by numerous small vessels
which convey it to the Thoracic ducr.
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 circulating in part of the body
where 1t was never designed by ma
ture, produces evil and often disas.
trous effects upon the health of the
individual for want of healthy bile 10
mix with the half-digested food. As
a result, costiveness, or alternately.
costiveness and diarrhoea, prevail; to-
gether with wind in the stomach and
bowels, and the patient is often an
noyed 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 to various diseases of the skin.
1t becomes more or less yellow, and
sometimes there is perfect 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 pas
sage through the kidneys, and is mix
ed with the urine.
The tongue is usually coated with
white or brown scurf. There is ir-
ritation and frequently chronic infian-
alton of the inner surface of the stonl-
ach and bowels. Sometimes there Is
a loathing of food and at other times
there is voracious appetite.
There is a feeling of oppression
across the stomach and chest, as II
pressed down by a weight; trouble
some and often frightful dreams, low
spirits, languor and want of energy.
To sum up in few words, a SEN
sation of fullness and distention across
the abdomen, with tenderness on pres
sure; lowness of spirits. Biliousness.
Coles and Bilious Diarrhoea and dy-
senteries; Obstinate Costiveness, Jaun-
dice, ETC., may all originate from the
same cause-a deranged state Of the
liver.
The most successful treatment Is to
give the patient every night on GO
ing to bed from one to two laxcarin
tablets, or enough of them to insure
one evacuation from the bowels next
morning. The dose of laxcarin can
be increased or diminished at pleas
ure, so as to produce the above effect,
and their use should be continued as
long as needed. Usually three or four
boxes of 1axcarin, at the most, six, are
needed.
Laxcarin is sold by the Laxcarin
Products Co., Dept. E-94, Pittsburgh.
Penna. Price per box one dollar, full
treatment six boxes five dollars. VIII
