LIVER FILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
BYsrsniA AND not MEADACH*.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN 1 in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder bUde, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
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
veral are costive, alternative
with lax; the 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 to 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 he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
aftsr death, has shown the LIVE* to
have been extensively deranged.

A bright, harvest m >on shown full
upon Oscar Kedclifti's tace, as with his
handsome head erect, his straight young
figure drawn tq its full height, he fasten*

At that moment, eleven strokes from
the village clock sounded on the still ah,
while In the distaucs, through the tiees,
glimmered the light troiu Madame Itiv««

'Explanations are not netessary to me.

'Nay, madam; calm yourself I Par*

The mau's face softened as he looked.
The downcast head or the woman at his
side was very beautiful. The slight
frame shivered with excitement, lie
drew a step nearer, aud laid his band
upon her arm.
'Blanche,' he said—and as the old fa»
ini'iar name All from his lips, it tound

And waving Mm baek with one white
hand, she disappeared among the trees.
A tew miments he Moid motionless.
The interview had sH>km him more
than he woukl-nckiu Wis Ige. Past mem

him, when suddenly « girl's face seeiueit

lie vas still surrounded by tbeii
gloom, when a pistol shot tfing put on
the stiff night air, so close that for a mo- 1
ment he thought the ball Intended for his
heart; but a low groan showed him It bad
reached another destination.
Making his way quickly in the direc
tion of the. sound, he stumbled o% er the
proatrite form of a man, dyeing his
clotlies in the blood which ebbed from a
gaping wound. The moon's rays shone
full upon a ghastly face.
lie started back, Ids own Hps ashen, as
he recognized the husband of the woman
from whom lie Mid parted barely five
minutes befOrtJ.
'Merciful heaven!' he whispered, when
a baud tell htavlly upon Ids shoulder.
'Assassin!'muimured a voice iu his
ear.
And turning he confronted two men,
whom the noise of the shot had attract
ed to the-epot. In valu he attested his
innosenee.
'Explain it to the conrts,' they anstoer
»d, 'not to us.'
And summoning other help to carry
the wonnded and inaeusibie muito his
home, he followed them unresistingly,
whither they would.
The night wore hi avily away. Each
moment as he paced the floor of the room
in wtnoh lie had been confined, awaiting
his examination, revealed to him the bid
eoußiicsß of his position. '
Not yet had he washed the blood staius
from his hands. His eyes seemed fasci
nated to gaze upon them, for with the
morning he knew would come tin
question, 'What motive prompted your
presence,in the Larou's private park at
such an hoar?' And to this question he
could assign no answer. 1
To say he bad gone there to meet the
woman wbo had once heiu his promised
bride, but who was honored
wife ot another, would be to forever sully
her fair lhme r Honor compelled blm to
keep silent—honor bade liha give np his
life, if iteed be/nnless, unit M, baro
ness herself revealed the truth.
It was as he had foreseen. Iu the
crowded court room, the fatal question
rang his death knell in his ear. Marjorie
Blaine's sweet, pleadiug face, ot which
he canght a momentary glimpse in the
distant corner where she sat, seemed to
say, 'For my sake, at whatever cost, tell
| the troth.'
A week had passed since that borri'jle
night. The bnroii still lingered UUOOll
scious. and with bat little hope of his re~
covery. Rumor whs not slow to assiirn
a motive for the deed. Jealousy of the
inau who had won the prize he had failed
in securing. Uis own noble name, bis
untarnished youth, were swallowed -op
in Ibe frightful suspicion which engulfed
him; and aa he stood is the prisoners'
dock, laces which bad ever uulled upon
him were —w turned away.
1 can only plead my innocence,' he
said, when called upon—"can only #wear
BO man among yea la more guiltless than
am I; but of how I spent the last hour,
the secret is my own—mine lor eternity!
Gentlemen, unless there be some other
way to establish my innocence, yon must
believe me guilty.'
' As be was remanded back to his cell,
after the preliarinai? examination, to be
held for trial, be found awaiting Mm in
the ante-room the face whose pleading
be had seemed so heartlessly to resist.
'Oscar,' she implored, 'do you know
that u?y Hie and happiness are at stake
witb yours? Bhall some false sentiment
of*»«or keep yeuriips «k>sedF Do you
owe me, your betrothed, nothing?'
'My own!' he said, clasping ber close
in bis embrace. 'Do not make my task
impossible 1 Give me the assurance of your
trust, yonr fsitb, then leave me to my
conscience.'
One moment S'M looked into the dark
pyes, wnose propionate fondues* dwelt
upon her, tho:i answered bravely: 4
'As yon will, then. My fidth, try trrtst.
are yours forever!'
'Can it be,' she thought, as, with
which burne 1 yet shed no tears, she
watolied him frum her sight, 'that the
womau he oueo loved can know of this
—that she haa aught to do with this se«
cret that keepe him silent? Yet I have
said that I will trust him. Aye. so I will,
but I must go to her. and ask her, if iu
ber power, to nulock bis silence.'
It was a young, a lovely taea which
looked with audi Imploring eyes Into
that older, more betfutifal one of the bar
oness, spmtnoned from her husband's
bedside.
'o*car Rcdcliff Is accused of murder,
you tell me, and this rumorbM notreach
ed me hero. You say you know hi* fate
is in my hands.. You are right—yon are
right! but, oh, how can I, without
