Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1885 — “How’s Your Liver?” [ARTICLE]
“How’s Your Liver?”
In the comic opera of “The Mikado” his Imperial Highness says: “To make, to some extent. Each evil Liver A running river Of harmless merriment.’ « A nobler task than making evil livers rivers of harmless merriment no person, king, or layman, could take upon himself. The liver, among the ancients, was considered the source of all a man’s evil imnulses, and the chances are ten to one to-day that if one’s liver is in an ugly condition of discontent some one’s head will be mashed before night! “How’s your liver?” is equivalent to the inquiry: Are you a bear or an angel to-day? Nine-tenths of the “pure-cussedness," the actions for divorce, the curtain lectures, the family rows, not to speak of murders, crimes and other calamities, are prompted by the irritating effect of the inactivity of the liver upon the brain. Fothergill, the great specialist, says this, and be knows. He also knows that to prevent such catastrophes nothing equals Warner’s safe cure, renowned throughout the world as a maker of “Each evil Liver A running river Of harmless merriment"
