The Cause of Bilious Comp
Aaiuts and a Mode of Cure.

Well regulated and proportionate quanti-
u ty OF bile upon the stomach, is always re-
ouisite for the promotion Of sound health-it
stimulates digestion, and keeps the intestinal
canal free from all distractions. On the lnferl-
or surface OF the liver is peculiar bladder. in
which The bile is first preserved, being formed
by the liver from the blond. Thence it passes
into the stomach and intestines, and regulates
the indigestion. Thus we see when there Is
deficiency of bile, the body is constantly coshve.
On the other hand, an overabundance OF bile
causes frequent Nausea in the stom.cli and OF
ten promotes very severe attacks OF disease,
which sometimes end in death.
fevers are always preceded by symptoms
Of di,ordcred stomach; as are also scrofulous
disorders and all sympathetic functional. Or
ganic or febrile diseases. From the same cause,
the natural and healthy action ofthe heart, and
the whole vascular system is impaired and redu-
ced below its natural standard rs exhibited IN
palpitations, languid pulse. torpor Of the limbs,
syncope, and even death itself, in consequence
of an overabundance ofa peculiar offensive sub
stance to the di.eslive organs.
The approach ofbilious diseases is at all times
attended by decided symptoms Of all existing
diseased state of the stomach and bowels; /. e.
with those which are known to point out their
contents 10 be of morbid irritating nature; but
whenever the alimentary canal happens 10 be
loaded with irritating matter, some derange-
ment of healthy operation either of the general
system, or Ofsome particular organ OF the body
is the certain result. and when this state hap
pens to be united with ahy other symptoms OF
disease, its effects are always thereby much ae-
gravated. The progress Of organic obstruction
is often so rapid as scarcely to admit oil time tor
the application of such aid as is to be offered BY
arl, yet, in general. the prenonitory symptoms
of gastric load are perceptiblr for dayor two
previoustu the feverish paroxism,e period, when
the most etiicacious assistance may be given, by
unloading the stomach and aimentary canal
ofits irritating contents. and thus reducing the
susceptibility of disease.
MuFfATS LIFE MEDICINES. should
always be taken in the early stages Of bilious
complains; and if persevered in strictly accord
ing to the directions, will positively effect
cure.
The mineral medicines often prescribed in
these diseases, although they may effect a tent
porary cure at the same time create an un-
healthy state Of the blood, and consequently
tend to promote return Of the very disease
which they are employed to cu,e. 1t is then by
the use OF purgahves, exclusively formed OF
vegetable compounds, which. possessing within
themselves no deleterious agencies, which de-
composition, combination, or alteration can
derelope or bring into action; and therefore ca
pable ofproducins no effect save that which is
