The I.iver Pills. Liver Pills of Dr. M’Lane were first used by him exclusively in his own practice. So efficacious were they in all cases of Liver Com plaint, that They became famous, and attracting the attention of the medical faculty, passed into general use. They act with great certainty and regularity; the patient almost immediately feels the dispersion of his disease, and is gradually re" stored to health. With some the effect is almost miraculous, frequently experiencing immediate relief, after having for months resorted to drugs and medicines of another description, in vain* Diseases of the Liver are very common in this country, and are often frightful in character* Those who experience an\’ of the premonitory symptoms of this dangerous and complicated dis ease, should at once procure a box of Dr. M’Lam’ s Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, and perhaps, thereby, be saved a world of misery. will be careful to ask for DR.

Nov, 8, 1856, fill To the Afflicted. I deem it a duty I owe to society, espe cially to the afflicted, to offer this testimonial in favor of that estimable medicine, 44 Perry Davis’ Pain Killer.” When passing through Galena, some two weeks ago, I purchased at your agency a25 cent bottle. I was then suffering from a severely bruised hand; I applied it in the store, and was astonished at the almost instantaneous relief. Before I left the store the inflammation was removed, and in less than an hour the pain ceased. In two days my hand was as well as ever. Finding it to be really a remedy, I determined to try its effects as a curative for the piles, to which I have been a martyr for years. After five dress ings, my piles were among the things that had been; lam now entirely free from them, and in as good health as ever I was in my life. I have rec‘ ommended the Pain Killer to others, and always with good effect. Several of the captains of the upper river boats carry with them a constant sup ply, and consider it one of the most valuable med icines ever discovered. I am, dear sir, respectfully yours, JOSEPH O.

THERE is not Among the whole catalogue of Chronic Diseases, one concerning which I am so often written to, and consulted, from eve ry section of the United States, and called upon to prescribe for, as Constipation of the Bowels. “ seem to be the disease of the country, and like most other Chronic Diseases, I fiud has been treated under a total misapprehension as regards the true cause of the disease. I will in mv advertisement of this week give what I con ceive to be the correct view of itscattfee—a view, * a ™ aware, that is opposed by the great mass of the profession, but which is strenuously advo cated by a few, and those few from their research and close study, stand at the head of tlicir pro fession, and from whom I am indebted to having been converted from the old beaten track as laid down in the books and led to embrace my present r -u/* a view to making the matter intel ligible to the general reader, (which is a very dilficult thing to do) I shall 'endeavor to simplify the matter as much as possible, in the hope that I may be followed without difficulty. Constipation is of two kinds, or perhaps I ought rather to say, that it arises from two and entirely dissimilar states of the system, viz: in those that are lean and of spare habit, and in those of a robust aud healthy appearance. We will first take into consideration the former, and the first question to be propounded and answered is, Hhy are the bowels irregular as regards their action—why do they not move with more regularity and frequency—why the delay in the fecal matter being ejected 1 For the very good reason that the natural stim ululus to action, or the contraction of the paric tiesof the bowels upon their contents is absent— they do not act because that which sets them in motion—that which stimulates them to contrac tion, and the consequent expelling of their con tents is not present to excite or bring about this action or contraction. What is'this natural stimulus or excitor of the action of the bowels t Their contents—the fecal matter, and which must be of a certain bulk, or some 5 or 6 ounces in weight before it can become an excitor of the contraction of the bowels. The reason then, why no evacution takes place—why the bowels are ir regular, is .because there is no fecal matter there to be expelled, and of course it’ there is nothing there to be expelled, nothing can be expelled.— Fecal matter cannot be sent out of the bowels, because it is not ,u them; it is not because the bowels are unable to discharge their contents, but because they have no contents to discharge. I.said there was nothing, no fecal matter here; there may bo n small quantity, and but a small quantity, not enough at any rate from its bulk or weight to excite contraction, but as soon as some fivcorsix ounces are present in the bowels, their muscular coats will just so certainly, by the weight of theircontents, be stimulated and forced into contraction and the expelling of their con tents as the womb will, at the end of nine months, from the weight of its contents expel the fetus, or as the bladder will expel its contents when a cer tain quantity shall have been secreted there. It is a law of tlie economy, and until there is suffi cient weight or bulk within the intestines, suffi cient to stimulate them to contract, there will be no evacuation, and of course no evacuation is nee ded. At this point 1 will take occasion to remark, that under this view of the cause of irregularity of the bowels one can very readily see how per fectly ridiculous and nonsensical, and how en tirely useless is the administration of purgative medicines in Constipation. You take purgative or laxative medicines and for what—why lo ex pel from the bowels that which is not there —to force them to contract and expel when there is nothing to expci. Purgative medicines in Con stipation tuc not only useless, but very injurious, as wes/uill see, and their administration is the height of enipyricism. Let the bowels alone un til the proper time arrives for their evacuation, or until they need to be evacuated, and rest assured they will perform their functions without the help of an v drugs. Let them alone, and when the feces shall have accumulated to the amount ofsoineoor6 ounces, they will most certainly contract upon and expel their contents. The next question in ortleo is— Why in not fecal matter present—why has it not been with more regularity and with mot'efrequency deposited, so as to become an excitor to contraction of the bowels and the consequent expulsion of their con'ents t For the reason, that as the feces are a true s<- <reli >n from the blood, and the patient, from his lean, lank, lantern-jawed appearance shows very plainly that he has but very little blood inside of him, and what there ip, of* the thinest, poorest and meanest quality, it is very easy to imagine that, there will not be much secretion ; it is an impossibitv that there should be much, for the blood is not there out of which the fecal secre tions can be manufactured; the manufacturers are ready to do the work—they are ready to man ufacture he fecal matter, but they are short of material, they have nothing to work with, no material to work into fecal matter. Like the cot ton factory, where everything is ready to do the work, all the hands employed, all the machinery in good order and ready for action, but, the spun thread is wanting—it is’nt to be had and cannot, be got, and the consequence is no homespun is made, as there is nothing to make it out of. So it is with the colon and rectum, the lower bowels, they are ready to manufacture and deposit the fe cal secretion, but good rich blood, and a plenty « f it, being wanting, they lire left without any n aerial to work with, and of course, not having this all important maUriul, the blood, they cannot m mufacture the secretion. Now, I am aware, that this doctrine of fecificn tion is at variance with a large mass of the profes sion, and not only the prnfest-ion, but those out of it, and the latter as well as a large majority < f the former, regard the feces as the residuum of the food, as that portion of the food which is not taken up by the circulation, and not needed for the purposes of nourishing the body, or ns the re fuse of the food after all the nutritious part of it has been extracted, but this is entirely a wrong idea, for the fecosareas true a secretion from the mucus membrane of the colon, as is the gastric juice from the mucus membrane of the stomach, or the saliva from the mucus membrane of the glands of the mouth, or the tears from the mucus membrane of the lachrymal glands, and the amount of secretion from either depends upon the quantity and quality of blood distributed to them, and so of the colon, the amount of secre tion from its mucus membrane, that is, the Quantity of feces that is deposited in the bowels depends upon the quantity of blood distributed to that membrane. The books, I am aware, teach a very different doctrine, but because Dr. this one or I)r. that one says so in his book is no reason of its being true. Other Doctors in their books sav differently, and when Doctors disrgree who shall decide? The books say, and it is the generally received opinion among the profession, that after the food passes into the stomach, it is by the muscular action of the stomach rolled and tumbled about until it becomes a soft homoge neous mass, and then it is passed forward *nto the upper portion of the bowels, called the duode num, where by the action of the bile upon it, a portion or part is extracted or separated for pur poses of nutrition, called chile, and which is taken up by the small tubular vessels called lacteals, and carried into the circulation for the purposes of nourishing the body; the other portion becom ing useless, after the chile is extracted from it, it is sent forward through the bowels and expelled. Now, instead of a part omy of this mass being prepared and taken into the circulation, the whole of it is in health taken up. Now let us see about this—let us see il a part only is taken and carried into the circulation. How much in weight does a person in health eat at a meal ? hay two pounds—three meals a day would make six pounds that he has taken into his stomach. Now, according to the books, a part of this, say one half, is taken up and carried into the circulation: the other half, then, according to our calculation, would be one pound left in the bowels after each meal, or three pounds a day to be carried forward and expelled at the lower portion of the bowels. Now, bear in mind, that there is each day three pounds of dross or residium of the food that is not needed for the nutrition of the body, and is car ried on through the bowels to be expelled. Now, suppose this man happened to be troubled with constipation of the bowels, and should have no discharge from the bowels for one" week, a very frequent occurrence with dyspeptics and others troubled with Constipation. J have known per sons to go three weeks without having any ope ration oi the bowels, and there are cases on re cord where patients have gone six and twelve months without having had a stool. Now, at the end of one week this constipated patient, would, according to our calculation, be carrying about him in his bowels 21 pounds of fecal mat ter—at the end of two weeks he would carry about with him 42 pounds—at the end of three weeks 63 pouuds—and in the case of those 1 have allu ded to as going six and twelve months without stool, one would carry 548 pounds, and the other 1092 pounds. What an absurd idea, that a per-, son should carry about with him a thousand pounds or the half of it of fecal matter, or even 63 or 42, or the 21 pounds. Suppose th#paticnt, at the end of the first week, who is supposed to have 21 pounds in store, is weighed, how much more will he actually weigh ? will he weigh 4 21 more? No. Will he weigh the half of it, or 5 pounds, or 1 pound? No, not one half ounce I more, and the great probability is, that he will not even weigh as much as he did the week pre vious. What has become of the 21 pounds of re fuse matter? That’s a question much easier ask ed than answered, if we slick to the old doctrine as laid down in the books. I’ll tell you what has become of it: the whole of the food was taken up and carried into the circulation, and a good por tion has passed through the bladder in form of urine, and through the pores of the skin in the form of insensible perspiration. It has come under the observation of almost every one, that a patient laboring under some acute disease, where no solid food has been taken for weeks, yet the-stools are as well formed and copious as ever; and, in fact, this same patient may have, at the commencement of his disease taken strong and purgative medicine, which ex pelled every particle of fecal matter, and before taking any nourishment with the exception, per haps of a little tea, he has had other stools almost as copious, aud of as much consistence as the first. This, of course, could not have been the residuum of the food, for the patient had taken noue. Patients with lock jaw, where it was an impossibility for them to take any thing for days and weeks in shape of nourishment, except li quid, and that of the thinest kind, yet have a daily evacuation of the usual consistence. Pa tients suffering from cancer in the mouth, that precluded the possibility of Liking any kind of nourishment by the mouth, have been nourished and kept alive by enemas, yet they have stools of more or less consistence. Where could this fecal matter come from—certainly not from the food? Again, persons subject to Constipation, gener ally have good, and sometimes enormous appe tites, and eat large quantities, yet have a move ment of the bowels very seldom, and then very small in quantity. If it be retained in the bow els, of course there would be a protuberance there, giving evidence that there was aquantity of matter lodged there; but ou the contrary in stead of there being any protuberance there, con stipated persons always have exceedingly fat bellies, and moreover, if there was a quantity of matter lodged there, the patient would weigh more; but he does not weigh one half ounce more than be did at the last movement of his bowels. As an argument against this doctrine, it may be said, that particles of food, seeds, skins of dried fruit, cherry stones, Ac., are found in the stools. This, however, is no argument against it, for they are found there either because they escape the action of the gastric juice, or it was 'impossi ble tor the gastric juice dissolve them. If a man swallow a cannon bffl, 1 for one, expect it to Ik* dissolved by the gastric prepared l>\ the stomach for its V the circulation. If a person swallow a a cherry stone, it is bound to go t«>r the g.iMi iejnice will not dissoh e I lieii^^Kra Now, what I conceive to be about view of this whole matter is this: The /.< wf.x!, , f ,i , i-, by the muscular action juices «.! the stomach converted into a soft gem ous mass, and then is passed along upper bowels called the duodenum, on of which are a great number of little which are mouths of small vessels or tubes called lacteals, whose office it is to take up this food, now called chile, and carry it along and discharge it into u large vein, and by which it is-carried to the heart; from the heart it is forced into the lungs, when by coming in contact with the at mosphtre it b converted into good healthy red blood, and now tit (but. not previously) for the purpose of nutrition. It now being made into good red blood is brought back by large veins to the heart again, from whence it is again pro pelled into the huge arteries and distributed to every portion of the system. The blood passing on through these arteries is received into anoth er set of vessels of the very smallest calibre culled capillar!/ vessels, and which are in every tissued the body, and so numerous that the poil t of a small needle cannot enter the skin without piercing them. % Now in these minute vessels the,great functions of nutrition aiid secretion are carried on, or, in other words, the depositing of all the.solids, such as bone, sinew, muscle, nails, Ac.; this is nu trition, while the depositing of the liquids, such us bile, gastric juice, saliva, tears, etc., is called secretion. Every particle of the solids and liquids of the body arc separated and deposited from the blood by these small vessels, but bear in mind, that the deposits are made only for a short time . — As almost everyone is aware, there is a constant change going on in the system—old solids are be ing broken down and taken away, and new depo sited in tlicir place. We have already seen how new matter is deposited. Now old matter, after it has become the worse for wear, becomes bro ken down, worn out, useless, and it must in some way bo revivified, enlivened, made new again. The commencement of this work is ac complished by vessels that are called absorbent vesssels. By these, is old matter, after it is broken down and reliquified, taken up and passed along into the vein£, and by which it is carried tinthe heart, and from the heart it is thrown into the lungs, and thus by its contact with the atmos phere it becomes rid of its carbonic acid, receives a fresh supply of oxygen, is revivified, made new again, and is brought back to the heart, and is now ready to be sent throughout the entire sys tem, to be deposited again. Thus it. will be seen, that bone, muscle, mucus, bile, saliva, &c., is deposited, re-circulated and re-deposited again and again. This is true of a good portion of each, but not all, for there is a portion of each, after it lias been taken up by the absorbent vessels, that cannot be re vivified -that cannot be enlivened or made into good blood again ; and now what is done with this that is of no further use for the system? It is carried out of the system by a set of secreting v<- < els madef r the purpose. And how ? By three different channels, viz: through the kidneys, by the secretion of urine; through the skin, in the form of insensible perspiration ; and through the lower bowels, by fh> secretion of fecal matter. Tlius, it will be seen that the fecal matter, in stead of being the residuum of the food, is the dross or broken down matter, which being no longer of any use to the system, is sent out of the system through the secreting vessels of the mu cus membrane of the lower bowels. This is one of the channels by which the blood is rid of these matters, the retention of which would not only leave no room for the admission of new blood made from chile, which is constantly being form ed, but would vitiate the blood and clog the wheels of life. So essential is the eliminating of these matters no longer of any use for the pur poses ot nourishing the body, that when one of these channels, from any cause, ceases to secrete, or does so imperfectly, one or the other channels, or both, will perform double duty. For instance, when the lower bowels do not secrete their pro portionate share in the form of fecal matter, there is always n much larger How of urine and with a greater disposition to perspiration. In cold wea ther, as every one knows, the flow of urine is al ways greater than in warm, and it is because the skin becomes shrunk and shrivelled up from the cold, which closes the capillary vessels of the skin ; and there arc cases on record, where the mucus membrane of the colon failing to secrete the feces, the skin has been made the point of el imination to a most disgusting extent. Now from what has been said, I think the rea der will discover that the feces are as true a se cretion from the blood as is tlie saliva, bile, gas tric juice, Ac., and it should be borne in mind, that the amount of secretion of feces depends upon the amount of blood sent to the mucus mem brane of the lower bowels: if there is but little blood sent there, very little secretion can take place from it, butif the patient be in good health, and possess a good supply of rich rid blood, he will, about every 24 hours, have secreted some 5 or 6 ounces of fecal matter, and this quantity being present, will excite the bowels to contract and discharge their contents. As good, wholesome and substantial food makes good rich blood, and a plenty of it for every se cretion in the body to curry on its functions, and as we also know that every constipated person has not only a craving and ravenous appetite, but gratifies it, the next question and the last one it As the feces are a true secretion from the blood, and as the amount of secretion depends upon the quantity of blood dbstrdntted to the mucus meni trrune ts the colon, and as there is no lack of appe tite, or withholding cf good, and substantial food which makes blood in abundance } why is the pa tient altruist bloodless, and for this reason cnistipa ted? Because of congestion of the stomach eye upper be/weis which unfits those organs from taking up the food and preparing it in a proper manner for the circulation. {How congestion of the stomach and upper bowels prevents the taking up of the food and preparing it for the circulation, I shall explain in my next advertisement, and which will be for the*benefit of the ladies, especially the young ladies, who regard a fine figure and form of any consideration.) Thus we see that the cause, and only cause of constipation of the bowels lies iu disease of the stomach and upper bowels. Now, instead of constipation always occurring in those who are thin in flesh, and having but little blood inside of them, it sometimesoecurs in those of a full and plethoric habit. The cause of the constipation in these cases is not the want of good blood in the system, but from its unequal distribution through tbe body—some organs are overloaded and gorged with blood, which of course takes it from other organs and leaves them almost in a bloodless state. When constipation occurs in those of a full plethoric habit, it is from congestion of the stomach. The stomach has an undue quantity of blood shut into it, and for which reason the mucus membrane of the colon is left in the same bloodless state as though there was a want of blood through the entire system. From the above, it is no very hard matter to discover that the exhibition of purgatives or even laxative medicines in constipation, is most absurd and entirely useless; nor is this all, for their ex hibition is positively injurious, and very much so for by their exhibition a premature discharge from tlie bowels is caused, and a forced secretion of the blood, which must, to a certainty, still farther reduce an already weakened and debilita ted syste n. We readily can see that there is not a particle of blood to spare, yet the exhibition of purgatives not only scud the blood to the lower bowels, and so doing, dimes it away from the more vital organs, organs of nutrition, and which must have all the bloud there is for the purposes of nutrition or nourishing the system: and it not only docs this, but after forcing it to the bowels, tho blond is caused to secrete more or less of mu cus or fecal matter, and bv so doing, is still further impoverished, and by this loss from the blood, the organs of nutrition are deprived still more of the precious liquid for nourishing the body, and the system, from the lack of the material by which it is nourished, becomes still farther re duced and debilitated. Now, from this prema ture discharge from the bowels—from this still farther taking from, reducing and impoverishing the bod —aid thereby causing a diminution of nfftrition, we can readily see why the constipa tion is still more obstinate after such a premature discharge, caused by taking purgative medicines; (for it is the experience oi every one, that after t iking purgative medicines, they are not only no better off, but the constipation is even still more obstinate,) — it is because the blood, which is the parent of this and all o her secretions, has been still farther impoverished, exhausted and reduc ed by the discharge than it was previous to it, and which has so much reduced them that secre tion of fecal matter was very small in quantity, so small that several days perhaps would elapse before the requisite quantity, viz : 5 or 6 ounces would be present to excite contraction of the bowels and expulsion of their contents. And now, in conclusion, we find that the whole trouble lies not in the lower bowels, but in the digestive organs y aud to effect a cure of this formidable malady, a well directed treatment to these organs, and these organs alone, must be resorted to, and remedial agents selected and made use of with the greatest care and caution. As a remedy for this disease, I unhesitatingly re- known as BLISS’ DYS« j> W H is a sovereign remedy not fail of i-tfi-r*ing a wit>i.

If you do take it and follow out all the directions, you may rest assured it will cure, 1 care not of how long duration or standing, or how obstinate it has heretofore proved, it will not fail if taken proper ly.

Since writing the above, T have received a let ter from a gentlemen in AlcMinn county, Tenn., consult ng me as regards his disease Constipa tion of the Bowels, and among other things, says he has a keen, ravenous appetite, which lie can scarce satisfy, although he eats large quantities; and he also states that “he had not had a pas sage from the bowels lor four weeks.” Now, it strikes me, that if the old doctrine of the feces be true, as laid down in the books, the old gentle man must, about now begin to weigh 44 right smart.” Nov. 15 Administrator’s Sale.
