Rensselaer Union, Volume 7, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 February 1875 — Poisoned to Death. [ARTICLE]

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison ? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs—the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.; but these organs become overtaxed in performing this labor in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand the pressure, but become variously diseased. The brain, which is the great electrical center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its office” healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of toe skin, is so irritating apd poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bowels and other organs spoken of cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea, female weakness and many other forms of chronic disease are among the necessary results. As a remedy for all these manifestations of disease Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery with small daily doses of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are positively unequaled. By them the liver and stomach are changed to an active and healthy state, the appetite regulated and restored, the blood and secretions thoroughly purified and enriched, and the whole system renovated and built up anew. Sold by all first-class druggists and dealers in medicine.

Will Wonders Never Cease?—When Dr. Walker proclaimed that he had produced from the medicinal herbs of California an Elixir that would regenerate the sinking system and cure every form of disease not organic, the incredulous shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR Bitters is now the Standard Restorative of the Western World. Under the operation of the new remedy Dyspeptics regain their health; the Bilious and Constipated are relieved of every distressing symptom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic rapidly recover; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers are broken; the hereditary taint of Scrofula is eradicated! Skepticism is routed, and this wonderful preparation is to-day the most popular Tonic, Alterative and Blood Depurent ever advertised in America. We don’t sell Rum under the guise of medicine. We advertise and sell a pure medicine which will stand analysis by any chemist in the country. 22 By Neglecting the Precautions Which common-sense dictates many fall victims to their own imprudence. We have seen the young and beautiful girl, the hope and pride of her parents—her cheek flushed with anticipation, and her eyes beaming with the gay dreams of life—we have seen all this changed for a shroud by neglecting a common cold which had settled upon her Lungs. It might have easily been cured if it had been attended to in time. Now, when your Lungs are first diseased with the incipient stages of Consumption, you should use Alien’s Lung balsam, which will relieve them without fail. For sale by all Medicine Dealers. We noticed in one of our exchanges this week the statement of Dea. John Hodgkins, of South Jefferson, Me., whose son was cured of incipient consumption by the use of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. We refer to this at this time as tending toftorroborate the statement we made last week in relation to this Liniment as applied to consumption. If Congress had employed as much scientific skill in the arrangement of its “ Reconstruction Policy” at the close, as the War Department did, in the beginning of the war, in arranging for the manufacture of what was called Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders for the use of the Cavalry horses, no doubt the Union would have been restored long ago. —Exchange.
