Change is w.jtten with the iron finger of time, upon all matter, seen an>i nnneen, material andspiritnal. The mighty, omnipotent power that fashion- d the stupendous orbs that revolve in the immensity of space, created all thingsin wiad«»m and purity. The majest c ocean, the’deep, blue eea, the beautiful earth, and all things therein contained, were planned and created by virtue of that universal law of harmony, whose power holds over all. Intelligence is manifested in all created ihings, both great and small—the tiny inst-ct, the beau tiful bmtcrflv. aud God-like man. are each endowed, according to their kind, with that instinct or intelligence orda*ned by lUui who “dorth all things well.” Wisdom, justice and love are tbn three nrrat (standard-bearers whose Mimpiuou-hands mete out to each individuality the mea sure of Divine, universal law, designed by that mighty miud, who fashioned alike noble man in his own image and all lesa-r created things. Tho beauties and wonders of nature luver cease to the pro gressive human mind. Eternal progression is written, with the uuerring finger of deity upon all. The rheme of human life is la den with tho sweet incen*e to ail who, like angels of mercy and goodr es«, are ever busy, ever ready to do>ise menus lor the allevi ation of human wee and t >e.prolongation of life. The Deceasing march of individual aud national progress is alone due to the bold and fearless thinkers and actors upon the ►tag* of innndauo lire. The stern exigencie* that confront and imperil the gigantic minds of all couni ri a cannot jßwe or swer,ve them in the paih of duty and pow.-r. Disease and death now hol'd carnival throughout the land; suffering humanity calls loudly for the “Balm of Gilead,”-whose subtle, mystic power can heal and save from wreck and ruin. A saving and skillful haiid .may be fonud ready to administer to the snfferiug at all tidies, in Prof. Hamilton, at his old medical empo rium, where-thousamlvfroiir all countries aud all climes, h»ve re ceived the healing balm lor every ill. In Harper's Monthly Magazine . for February, IR6B, may be found a Life of Prof. R. LEONIDAS HAMILTON, 11, D., whose discover iea in reference to . . LIVER. TUNG, AND BLOOD DISEASES are now attracting the attention of the'whole medical world, and whose success iscarry ipg jqy aud restored health to thousand*. His well attested cases ofdiver diseases.dung diseases, blood di seases, and diseases or the "kidneys, bladder, spine, stomach, aiid other organs are now well known all over, the United mates aud Canada, ihe West Indies, Europe, Mexico, Sandwich Islands, and in htanyofthe commercial and missionary settlements in every part i.f tbe world. \ i For the benefit of the sick who may wish -to know positively when they have derangements 01 the Liver, of more or less severi ty, a combination of the usual symptoms found in such cases will be fouud below: 1 . - SYMPTOMS OF LIVER' COMPLAINT. A sallow or yellowcolor of ihe skin, or yellowish-brown spots on the face andother;parte of tjie body ; dulness and drowsinest*, with frequent headache; bitter or bad taste in the mouth, dryness of the throat; and internal heat; palpitation of tbe heart; in many cases-a dry, teaming cough,'with sore throat; unsteady appetite; sour stomach, with a lisingofthe food, and a choking sensation in the throat; sickness and .vomiting; distress, heaviness, or a bloat ed orfuil fettling about the srouiach aud sides, which is at tended with pains and tenderness; aggravating pains in the sides, back or breast, and about the shoulners; colic pain and soreness through the bowels, with heat; ’constipation ofthe bowels, alter nating with frequent attacks ol diarrhoea; piles, flutuience, ner vousness, coldnts* of the extremities; rush <*f blood to the head, with symptoms of apoplexy ; liumbness of.the limbs, especially at night; cold chills, Asternating with hot flushes, with dullafesS, low spirits, unsociability, and eloomy forebodings, and, with ladies ie male weakness and {(regularities. DISEASES CAUSED BTC LIVER COMPLAINT. The Human System, the most* perfect of all the works of the .Creator, is so coustituted that, to be entirely healthy, it mus throw off the waste, worn-out,and’poisouous materials,as lt takes on new materials from our tood aud drink- The food, is as elui.lated and made into nourishing and healthy bh.od principally through the office* of the stomach,Jiver, and Jungs. The worn *out muterials are mostly excreted by the liver, lungs, and kidneys; .but all medical men have heretofore Jailed to recognize the vast imppttaUce.of lb- liver a* a blood-purifying and excreting organ. The mo»t learned German physiologists, who base tht-ir assertions upon’actual expedients ouly, state that tbe amount of bili which should be manufactured by tbe hyp? aud poured into: .the iutes tines each day is two and pounds. 1 All persons interested, to know this fact, Aiid'hhe'-ex|)eiritnents to prove it, may consult Yerdaiiung saeffound. Stoffwechsel, 1852, or they may eee a ui’these facts in prof. Dait m’s Physiology. .; Jteiheihber one ihing’miire: - The bile is'something more than Uie natural-physic of the towels as has : heretofore i-eeen taught by eminent uisulchl men. Tim bile is mostly made up ot thewasto of the blood—effete, worn-out and injurious materials.. If the liver does not make this’bile and pour it : into ti.e-iuteetlnes daily, It remains in the blood as.a.poisun. It poisons the blood it sod; aud circulates, as irritatiug andpoißonous matter in the blood, to every organ in the systjml ‘ The bloodf poisuUfd'With ihe daily accumulated excess of bile, return*.from tbe livVrt£lheheart,aud tbn.nerves of >the heart, are \ve 6ppre«ed^telling at lhe bt-art*, and: paip.tation if tbis ciuse long ctfotihued, we get chronic if. ritatioDj Undue exdt meat, and morb d nutrition of ihe heart, de. Velopiug many forms of Heart Disease. . ./ * Just so with the Lungs. The bile-poisoned blood goes -from the upper dad right cavity of tbe: l>ourt to ‘the loner cavity, aud luonce directly to the lings, circulating, all through those mo»t delicate organs. The Ipng tiisuvs are poisoned aud irritated, and they invite the'scrolutyushuoiors ofthe blodd because they are thus irritated. HencuConsumption, which is the local *croJula,so dvftned-nd proved t-jliwyoi audall the mo»t scientiflc authors. The Inugs try to imd puiify the blood, ana they do it in a great meaaure; are overworked *nd irrigated, and )ou sujcU the biood-pVfeou matters in the man’s f .ul b. eath. Catarrh, Brouchltin, A'stbma, Nervoiis Cough, aiid Consumption itnelf are ■ th« results. If me Liver bad done its duty-made and excreted that BiLßr-tha liings . would not have been diseased. Ju't so with tie Blood itself. It goes from the lung back to the upper cavity of the heart, 1 "thence te the lower cavity, and theiice through the artenesandcapillaiies to evory,organ‘and tissue of tliesystem. .Amaig the iLOSt important of those .organs are the kidneys, furnishing the urinary secretion ainosf important excre. tion. But the kidneys themselves are irritated -and congested by the presence of. tra bile-poisoned Oioud, and they become diseased. Every person wq> had a liver dis-ase kuows that the urine is scanty, high-colorid, aud loaded with red deposits,' at or other diseased prolucts. Hence, diseases not only of the kidneys, but also of the blnpder. •.. i But. this is not all—far from it. The poison usbl'-od {roes to the BBAix, -nd affectsfthe greatel’ctrical centre of all vitality; and the brain, stimulated by unhealthy blood cannot perform its office healthfully. Thejp»rson hasdulness, headache, incapacity to keep his mind on i subject, cannot remember, has a crowdedand dizzy feeling, is BBepy,;b6comeB nervous, gloomy, easily irritated, and often has a bilious or a neuralgic headache. Aud the as it forms "the sweat upon the surface if'the skiu.lt'issb irritating and poisonous that the person has diiol/red browt spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions, sore boas, carbuncles, aud'scrofulous, tumors., \ ldsease of the Liver itself is'ihe most common of all diseases. Tbe'sudden changes of the New England climate, the malarial in- iiueaces of the ye&t, aud the heatulso of . the Sooth, as well as the dietetic habitajol the people of this couutry, and other cause?, all tend to derelontbe’Liver disease, in some of its varied forms throughout the Hated States. , This is true l*othof n>an and beast, as evory butcher Knows that he finds the livers of cattle, sheep, and swine disertsediten times where he finds any other organ dis eased once. Almost every person is bilious at some time, and mauy are constantly biiiins. It may be mere congestion of the Liver, and torpidity of its function, or this may resultiu some structural or organic affrctiol.

I have been ft sufferer for many years from diseases contracted while la boring as Missionary in Africa. Last fall I was declining fast, and had all the symptoms of quick consumption. I applied to you for help. You remarked: ‘‘Before I get through with you, I will make you feel several years younger than you have ever felt since you left Africa.” I thought but little of that, as I had often re ceived similar assurances from eminent physicians, both here and in Europe; but in less than two weeks all my symptoms were en tirely changed, and my health and strength Improved very fast. In a few weeks I found myself in the enjoyment of better health, and able to perform more labor, mental and physical, than at any previous time since I left Africa. May God bless you in all your researches in his great laboratory, and make you liis agent in re storing thousands to health. A. A. CONSTANTINE.

With all your prestige as asuccesa ful physician, I had.butlittle.hope that you could cure me. Tnere was nothing strange in this. Four years and lour months had, passed away, but during that period I had suf fered constantly with chronic diarrhoea and piles. X had some of the best physicians, find used, everything I heard of that I could procure, but till;in vain. Why should I think that you could do me more go d than others? But, Sir, justice, and gratitude compel :me to sky tbat :»f er the use of your medioinesJ'or a few months the result was a com plete cure. I ceased the use .of your medicines about the Ist of September, and had.no return, of diarrhoea until the 25th*of January, 18«4, and that attack I could trace to its cause; indeed, Sir, I cannot expect to be freed from llabil ites to atiacks-of disease any more than Vthermen.
