Sick Headache.


In offering to the public DIR. McLane's
celebrated Liver pills, as a remedy for
liver and bilious complaints, we presume
no apology will be needed. The great
prevalence of liver complaint and bilious
diseases throughout the United States,
and peculiarly in the West and South,
where, in the majority of cases, the pa
tient is not within reach of a regular ply
sician, requires that some remedy should
be provided, that would not in the least
impair the constitution, and yet be safe
and effectual. That such is the true char
acter of DR.. McLane's Liver Pills. there
can be no doubt. The testimony we lay
before you, and the great success which
has invariably attended their use, will, we
think, be sufficient to convince the most
incredulous. 1t las been our sincere wish
that these Pills should be fairly and fully
tested, and stand or fall by the effects
produced. That they have been so tested,
and that the result has been in every re-
spect favorable, we call thousands to wit
ness who have experienced their beneti-
cial effects.


Dr.. McLane's Liver Pills are not held
forth or recommended Qike most of the
popular medicines of the day. as univer-
sal cure-alls, but simply for Liver Com
plants, and those symptoms connected
with deranged state of that organ.


DISEASES OF THE LIVER.


The liver is much more frequently the
seat of fdisease than is generally 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 powers of the Stomach,
Bowels, Brain, and the whole Nervous
System, shows its vast Importance to hu-
man health. When the liver is seriously
diseased, it in fact not only deranges the
vital functions of the body, but exercises
powerful influence over the mind and
its operations which cannot easily be de-
scribed. 1t has so close a connection
with other diseases, and manifests itself
by so great variety of symptoms, 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 domin-
ion which | am persuaded it exercises
over the passions of mankind, convince
me that many unfortunate beings have
committed acts Of deep and criminal
atrocity, or become what fools term hyp-
Ochondriacs, from the simple fact of a
diseased state of the Liver. | have long
been convinced that more than One-half
of the complaints that occur in this cOun-
try, are to be considered as having their
seat in diseased state of the liver. l
will enumerate some of them: Indiges-
tion, StOppage of the Menses, Deranged
State of the Bowels, irritable and vindic-
tive feelings and passions from trifihg
and inadequate causes, of which we at
forwards feel ashamed; last though not
least, more than three-fOurths OF the dis
eases enumerated under the head of Con-
sumption, have their seat in diseased
liver. This is truly frightful cata-
logue.


Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
Pain in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increasing on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient Is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is under the
shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends
to the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism in the
arm. The stomach is affected with loss
of appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are cOstive, sometimes alterna-
ting with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy SEN
sation in the back part. There is gener-
ally considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with painful sensation of
having left undOne something that ought
to have been done. A slight cough is
sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility he
is easily startled; his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of ii prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exercise
would be beneficial to him, yet he can
scarcely summon fortitude to try it, In
fact he distrusts every remedy. Several
of the above symptoms attend the disease;
but cases have occurred when few of them
existed, yet examination of the body after
death has shown the liver to have been
extensively deranged.


Ague and Feyer.-Dr. McLane's
Liver Pills in cases of Ague ami Fever,
when taken in connection with quinine,
are productive of the same happy results.
No better cathartic can be taken prepar-
atory to, or after taking quinine. We
would advise all who are afflicted with
this disease to give them fair trial.


DIRECTIONS.-Take two or three
pills on going to bed, every second or
third night. If they do not purge two or
three times by next morning, take one or
two more; but light breakfast should
invariably follow their use. The Liver
Pills may be used where purging simply
is necessary. AS an anti-biIfous purga-
tive, they are inferior to none, and i'm |
doses of two or three they give astonis h |
ING relief in Sick Headache; also, in |
slight arrangements of the Stomach.
