When the Liver Goes Wrong the Whole System Suffers. A Bad Case. A Good Cure,

(From thf "A**trnUan Christian World,' y«'y IS'JS.) (BT OUR fIWX REPORTBR.) "Out of pure gratitude for my deliverance from a most serious and painful complication of complaints, I am willing to give you the whole afternoon if you wish it!" answered Mrs. Cole, of 2 Purves-street, Forest Lodge, Sydney, to our reporter on his requesting an interview as to that lady's case. "The whole trouble, ' said Mrs. Cole, in auswer to further questions on the subject, "arose, I firmly believe, from the poison that yot into my system through a deranged liver. Scon after that organ got out of order and started to work irregularly n>y appetite began to get veiy tickle and changeable. \\ ltliout cause or reason I turned against delicacies which were formerly favourite dishes <>f mine, and sometimes I sat down to meal alter meal and rose again without being able to so much as svvalow a single mouthful. In the morning 1 invariably had a most unpleasant acrid taste in the mouth, together with a ■d rty coated tongue, and, as tune wore on • for I must tell you I was seriously ill for over a year), my liver trouble got worse ami worse. When I woke in the moining 1 felt giddy, stupid, and dazed, and often made \ aiti cfiuits to get out of bed, being forced t<> Ue back again on the pill"W lo collect enough strength before lin.il \ succeeding. At nights I was unable to sleep, and 1 should lie wide awake restlessly turning about and counting the weary hours as they wore away, till the dawn began to break, when I usually fell ii.to a sort of stii[<or,— it was not a proper sleep,— and I woke from that half dazed as 1 have just described. I became very, very thin, not like I am now (Mis. Cole luis now a particularly healthy appearance, with a clear eye and that clear freshness of complexion which is never seen with a •iisordeied liver), and, as for my complexion well, sallow woa not the word for it. It was as yellow as if I was suffering from yellow jaundice." "All this must have had a very depressing effect u|>on your spirits j" If did indeed, as anyone might expect," answered Mrs. Cole, " though you have not heard the half of my bad symptoms yet. I was most low spirited and dull and crotchety as well. I couldn't bear the slightest noise, and the smallest trifle* would have a most distressing effect upon my nerves. Nothing could interest me. I didn't care even to hear the news of the day, and the trifling cares of domestic life <lrove me into a state of nervous irritation. I was.iluavs languid and weary. I went tu bed every night as fatigued as though I had done some excessive labour, when as a matter of fact I had done nothing; but I eoidd not sleep, aud I rose in the morning feeling more tiied, weary, and lifeless than I did the ni.lit betoie. I suffered from liriible headaches, aud I vomited almost daily. Mote than once, after I had managed to u.ilk a sh' it distance to m\ mother's house.
