The Liver in the Spring.

The liver, faceted on the right aide, below the right long, it* lower edge being directly under the short ribs, end extending eoross to the left side, is not only the lergest glend ol the body, but is one of the most complex in its workings, end, like e delioete pieoe of machinery, is easily thrown ont of order. Upon its proper action depends the mantel end physical welfare of the bodv. Any one of the following symptoms indicates its departure from health ; - Symptoms.—Headache, sallow complexion, gradually insreasiog constipation, disincline, tion to exertion, vertigo, dizziness, highly coloured urine, a “ splendid " feeling to-day, and a depressed one to-morrow ; pain under either shoulder, and under riba on the right aide; neuralgia, pain of chest, heartburn, indigestion, enlargement of side below the ribs, dropsy of the abdomen, dry month; brown flabby tongue; occasional drills; hot flushes, moth patches on the face, yellowish eyeballs, sick headache, frequent vomiting of bitter matter ; piles, caused by congestion of the liver; severe spasmodic pain in upper part of abdomen, relieved by pressure, hiccough, jaundice, clay-coloured stools, sour stomach, variable appetite, irritability ol temper, diarrhoea, dysentery, burning palms and feet, dry cough and sleeplessness. The diseases which are indicated by any of the above symptoms are jaundice, gall stones, enlargement, contraction, congestion, inflammation, abscess, tumours, hydatids, catarrh of the ducts, fatty accumulation, cancer, malaria, and last but not least, biliousness, which is so common in this country with both sexes.

History.—During winter, Nature wisely arranges that we should live on foods containing much fat, or, as they are known, hydro-carbons, lor the purpose ol supplying heat to tbe body ; the chemical operation necessary to transform fat into heat is tbe exclusive work of tbe liver, and so during the time stated it hj constantly congested. With the approach ol warm weather our diet changes to muscle producing food, and the worn of the liver is much lessened. In the majority ol oases, however, it is unable to completely throw off the excess of bile, but remains congested, causing that lazy, tired feeling which many have in the spring months, when the weather becomes warm. This is evidence of an unhealthy condition, and though people appreciate the necessity of an alterative at this period, tbe common idea is to take drastic pills and produce s eathsrio effect, only to make matters worse. The liver must be unloaded, and its proper action restored before hot weather if you wish to preserve health snd if this distinct call ol nature is unheeded, serious requite will occur. The blood will become loaded with bile and lithio acid, and as everv drop ol vital fluid passes through the kidneys to be purified, they soon break down, and are rendered unable to carry ont the deadly poison. Treatment.— Warner's safe cure and Warner's safe pills have not only a specific action on the kidneys, bnt on the liver alee. They thin the thickened bile so that It will pass ont through its duets, and so enable the glands to unload themselves, act aa a solvent on all biliary adds, and, in a word, fit tha liver for tbe season's work, preventing Wood poisoning, inflammation, abscess, and all affections to which it is so liable. As you value the blessings of health, do not allow tbe summer to approach without giving year system a “ general house cleaning ” with Warner's safe remedies. “To be forewarned is to be forearmed."
