The Cause Of Bilious Comp

a Well regulated and proportionale quanll-

stimulates digestion, and keeps the intestinal
canal free from all distractions. On the inferl-
or surface ofthe liver is Il peculiar bladder in
which The bile is first preserved, being formed
by the liver from the blood. Thence ii passes
into the stomach and intestines. and regulates
the indigestion. Thus we see when there is a
deficiency of bile, the body is constantly costlve.
On the other hand an ovcrabundance Of bile
causes frequent nausea in the stomach; aud Of

which sometimes end in DEATH
Fevers are always preceded by symptoms

Theapproach ofbilious diseases is at alltimcs
attended by decided symptoms of al existing
diseased state of the stomach and bowels; j. G..

whenever the alimentary canal happens 10 be
loaded with irritating matter, some derangc-

system, or of some particular organ Of the body
is the certain result. and when This state hap

MOFfATS LIFE MEDICINES, SHOULD
always be taken in the early stages of bilious
complaints and ifperscvered in strictly accord

cure.
The mineral medicines often prescribed in
these dis'ases, althoue h they may effect teni-

tend 10 promote return Of the very disease
which they are employed to cme. 1t is then by
the Use OF purgatives, exclusively formed OF
vegetable compounds which. possessing within

develope or bring into action; and therefore ca
