BILIoUsNEss. - With a greater
amount of bile in the blood than is
natural, the result is that tho eyes
and skin begin to wear yellow ap-
pearance, while various other symp-
toms manifest themselves, according
to the temperament, habits and Pc
culiarities Of the individual; one has
sick headache; another complains of
a want of appetite, sometimes loath-
ing the very appearance of food; a
third has cold feet and hands; a
fourth has chilly sensations involving
the whole body, running up and down
the back a fifth is costive; women
become hysterical, and laugh, cry or
talk, while men are moody, peevish
and morose. Bile is naturally of
bright, yellow color, but as a man
becomes more bilious, it grows darker
and is at length as black. as tar,
causing a state of mind which the
old Romans called attrability, attra
meaning black; scowl' is on the
countenance, and the person is ILL.,
natured and fretful, finding fault with
everybody and everything; hence,
when a man is cross he is bilious,
and ought to be pitied, and at the
same time be made to take an emetic.
The ill-natured are never well,
they are "bilious," the system is
clogged, the machinery does not
work well, and both mind and body
are disordered. The safest and best
method of getting rid of biliousness
is steady work in the open air, for
eight hours every day, working or
exercising to the extent of keeping
up gentle moisture on the skin.
This moisture conveys the bile away
out of the system. The same result
will be accomplished, but not SO well,
by good steam bath, or by wrap.
ping up in bed, drinking hot teas,

The MOBILE MISUNDERSTANDING
our exchanges which afford us never
failing pleasure to receive and per-
use, ia the Mobile Register. To our
Democratic or Conservative friends
everywhere, we would recommend it
as worthy their universal encourage,
ment and support. No paper in the
South or elsewhere is edited with
greater ability, chasteness or dignity.
A taste formed or guided by the
Registers standard in matters literary
or political, cannot help being true
and correct one. 1t is therefore
worthy Of all occupation to the family
as we'll as political CIRCLE.
The price Of the subscription to the
"Daily" is SIS and to the Weekly"
IS per anuum.
We endorse, without reservation,
the following well merited encomium
on the Register and its editor, from the
Montgomery Gala. } Advertiser:

been welcome visitor to many

in a. able hands as at any former
period Of its history. Col. Forsyth,
the editor, has deservedly achieved
q national reputation. His opinions
and articles are generally character.
lied by strong sense and reason. The
terms Of the Weekly Register are as
low a. such paper can afford. The
cause Of Democracy will be greatly
benefited wherever the Register cir.
oulates.
