Talking a few days ago with one of our
most distinguished surgeons, one of our
writers said to him:
"Doctor, days, what’s the matter with our people
now-a that so many of them are com¬
plaining that half about their livers ? It seems to ine
the people I meet have their livers
out of order.”
“Your estimate is a very light one,” said
the doctor. “Probably seventy-live per cent
of the people have livers which are not doing
their work fully and properly. You can see
it for yourself in various degrees of signs on
the skin or in the eyes. Notice it, all the way
from the saffron-colored skin and eyeballs of
the thoroughly jaundiced victim of liver com¬
plaint to the slightly pimpled face of the
young and who lady whose waist is too tightly laced,
is crowding her liver into such nar¬
row' quarters that it has not half a chance to
work.”
the “Well,” said our correspondent, "what is
most general cause of what we call liver
complaint ?”
“The causes,” responded our eminent medi¬
cal friend, “ are as many as the diversities of
the disorder. Prominent among them you
may mention greasy food, lack of proper ex¬
ercise and ventilation, and irregularity in
eating. has The liver is a wonderful organ. It

of surgery can roach it while in the living

are great tubes and ones in the
liver—some so exceedingly small that they
cannot be seen except with the microscope.
If any of these become clogged, there are at
once some imperfections in the grand system
of filtration. When the liver is out of order
the bile, which ought to go in proper direc¬
tions on its mission of usefulness, goes astray
and wanders into the circulation, and tells its
tale of mischief in the yellow tinge it,gives
the skin. The healthy skin is rosy and life¬
like. The skin which has lost its rosy hue,
and looks as if it had been tanned or was go¬
ing to lie, is telling its story of disordered
liver and corrupted blood.”
“But, doctor, you say that no surgical ope¬
ration can reach the liver. What is to bo
done for the seventy-five livers out of a hun¬
dred which you say are disordered ?”
“My dear this sir, happily * There we do is not better need sur¬

want to enrich the and corrupted
