In cases of lung standing, a cun will be mon speedily effected by using, in conjunction with the Pills, either JAYNE’S ALTERATIVE or TONIC VER MIFUGE. according to directions. For Liver Complaint, Gout, Jaundice, Affections of the Bladder ami Kidneys, Fevers, Nervousness, Diseases of the Skin, Imparity of the Bhmd, Sik Headache, Cootiveness, Piles, Female Diseases, and Billions Affections, these Pills have proved themselves eminently successful. AM that i* asked for them is a fair trial. As these Pills have proved themselves so eminetly sue cessful in removing diseases of the Liver, Dyspepsia and diseases of the Skin, 1 have thought it advisable to add tin following remarks on LIVER COMPLAINT. This is a disease much talked about, but at Ike W—* time very imperfectly uuderstpod. Properly speaking, every derangement of the Liver or Billions system is a Liver Complaint) but the peculiar state of .the Liver to which I Uow have reference Is a Ctresfe Affection, and usually arises from a torpid or congestive state of that important organ. Sometimes the bile Is.de ficient in quantity, or vitiated in quality* or both these states prevail at the same time. Sometimes the disease is owing to obstruction 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 being clogged up by thick tenacious slime or mucous, and some times by gall-stones. The bile is than thrown back into the gallbladder, whore it Is absorbed by numerous small vessels which convey it into the Thoracic Poet, a pip* that runs up along the spine, and terminates in and emp ties itself into the Urge vein of the loft* shoulder, near its juuctl n with the veins of the head and neck, and thence the bile is conveyed to the heart and becomes mixed with the blood. The bile in this manner being diverted from its proper course, and circulating in a pari o'the body where it never was designed by nature, produces muck evil, and often disastrous effects upon the health of the indi vidual—because, tor want of healthy bile to mix with the half-digested food, a complete separation never takes pUos between the ebyle (the milky liquor which forms the blood) and those portions of the food designed by nature to be ejected from the bowels—for-the bile, when present, purifies and separates the healthy from the unhealthy por tions, in the same manner that isinglass or white of eggs separate wiuu or cider from their impurities—and, conse quently. the very fountain of life is vitiated and corrupted. Costiveness prevails—or alternately costiveness or diar rhoea—wind iu the stomach and bowels, and the patient is often annoyed with worms, and frequently with the piles. The coarse particles of the bile thus mixed with the blood, more or less obstruct the pores of the skin and small blood vessels. and hence give rise to various direases of the skin, such as erysipelas, cosema, itebiugs, small watery vessels, blotchcss tumors, pimples, scurflnesa, boils, sore eyes, sores and ulcers of various kinds. The skin is more'or less yellow, and (when the disease is of long standing,) often very dart,and has a disagreeable, dirty, creasy appearance. and sometimes there is a perfect jaundice. The tektfoof the eyes also has a green or yellow tinge. MORE OR LESS bilc is strained from the blood in its passage through the kidneys, and, by Us acrimony, pro duces pains in the back, and scalds and irritates all the urinary passages. Some days the passage of urinaispr*- fuse, and natural in appearance; at other times it is scanty, and the desire to evacuate 2s frequent and urgent. Some times the color is nearly white and milky, but usually it is high colored, red or yellow, with a funk, offensive odor aud sometimes it is bloody, , The tongue la usually more or less coated with'a brown scurf; There is irritation, and frequently chronic inflam mation of the inner surface' of the stomach and bowels, with a tenderness on pressure, and a soreness along the lower edge of the ribs. 4 ' SOMETIMES THERE IS A LOATHING of food, and at other times there is a voracious appetite. There hr ofrsh a feeling of chilliness, and coldness of the feet aud knees, and along the inside of the thighs—sour or bitter eructa tions, and sometimes a spitting or throwing up of the food after eating. There Is a feeling of oppression across the stomach aud . chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and “ often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor, want of ener i gy, melancholy restlessness aud diaconteutedness, dreami ness of mind—timorousness and a great dealof trouble, and a disposition to magnify everything, sometimis grest watchfnllness aud an inability to sleep—at others great drowsiness, weariness, and disinclination to motion. AT TIMES THE FACE is flashed, with morn of lew fever, especially at night or in the afternoon. Sometimes violent colics, and wandering pains in various parts of the body. Frequently there is a short backing cough, with a huskincss of the throat, and sometimes a vSry severe, dry, and bard cough, which Is often mistaken for consumption. This cough often commences in the latter part AT the bight or early In the morning, pnd lasts for hours, frequently producing nausea and vomiting. If there be any expecto ration, it is a tough, ropy, tenacious phlegm, wkkh ad heres to everything it touches. Jheri are also frequently chronic pleurisy pains In various parts of the chest, which shift about from one part of the breast or side totheothev. Sometimes abscesses form in tbs liver, and priming up ward on the lungs, produce constriction and cough, and breaking, discharge theif contents into the lungs, whence it must be ejected by expectoration, or the patient is de stroyed. Some persons are troubled vritk SJwSßOdic twitches in various parts of the body, sometimes fointnesa and sighing, difficulty of breathing; reading or. talking producing weariness.
