Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. 1)AIN in thc right side, under the edge of thc ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes ihe pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able lo lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to thc top of thc shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral arc costive, sometimes alternative with lax; thc head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought lo have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and bc complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; bis spirits arc low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try il. In fact, he distrusts every rentedy. Several of tho above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown thc LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
