TENHE CAUSE OF BILIOUS COMPLAINTS
q AND A MODE OF CURE-A well req
ulsted and proportIonate quantity Of bio upon the
stomach is always requisite for the promotion Of
sound heallh-iI stimulates digestion, and keeps
the intestinal canal free from oil ob4tructons. On
the inferior surface Of the liver is peculiar blad
der in which the bile is FIRST preserved being
formed BY the liver from the blood Thence il
passes into the stomach and nlustines, and regu.
ates the indigestion, Thus we see when there
is deficiency Of bile, the body is constantly COS.
tive. On the other hand an oycrabundance OF
bile, causes frequent nausea 10 the stomach and
often promotes very severe attacks OF disease,
which sometimes end in death
Fevers are always preceded By symptoms Of "a
disordered stomach; as are also scroiulous dtsor.
dsrs, aDd oil sympathetic functional, organic or
.ebrile diseases. From the same cause, the nat.
ural and healthy action ofthe heart and the whole
vascular system is impaired and reduced below
lis natural standard; as exhibited in pslpilalioons
snguid pulse, tofpors Of the limbs, syncoee, and
even death itself, in consequence Of an overabun-
dance Of peculiar substance to the digestive o.
gans.
The approach Of bilious diseases is at all times
attended by decided symptoms Of al existing dis.
eased state Of the stomach and bowels; J. e. with
those signs which are known to point out their
contents 10 be Of morbid irritating naturs; bat
whenever the alimentary canal happens % be
loaded with irritating matter, some arrangement
Of the healthy operation, either Of the general sys.
tenn, or Of some particular organ Of the body is
the certain result and when this state happens to
be united With any other symptoms Of disease. its
effects are always thereby much aggravated. The
progress Of organic obstruction is often so rapid
scarcely 10 admit Of time for the application Of
such aid is 10 be offered by art, yet, IN general,
The premonitory symptoms Of gastric loud are per.
ceptible for day or two previous TO the feyerish
paroxlsm, period when the most eificacous as.
slstance may be given, by unloading the stomach
and allmcutary canal Of its irritating contents
and thus reducing the Susceptibility Of disease.
MOFFATS LIFE MEDICINES. should al.
ways be taken in the early stages Of bilious com.
plants and if Persevered in strictly according 10
the direclions will positively effec, cure.
The mineral medicines often prescribed in
these diseases, although they may effect tempo.
rary cure, at the same time create an unhealthy
state Of the blood, and consequently tend to pro.
mote return Of the very disease which they are
employed to cure L. then by the use Of purea
tIyes, exclusively formed Of vegetable compounds,
which, possessing within themselves no deeteri.
Gus agencies which decomposition, combination,
or alteration can deveiope or bring into action
and therefore capable Of producing no effect, save
that which is desred-ihat safe remedy is found.
The LIFE PILLS and PHENIX BITTERS
have proved to be the most happy IN their effects
IN cases OF bilious diseases, Of any purely vegeta-
bic preparation ever offered to the public. II the
stomach is foul, they cleanse it by exciting it to
throw of its contents not they pats to the duode.
mum without exciting vomiting OF nausea in The
stomach; stimulating the heghboring vicera, as the
liver and pancras, as TO produce more copious
flow Of their secretons into the intestines stimu.
lating the exhalent capllarles, terminating in the
inner coat, which an increased flow Of the useless
particles Of the body, foreign matters, or retained
secretons, are completely discharged.
