SPECIAL NOTICES.
"a Little Bilious"

How often is this the response to the enquiry
after friends health; as if to be bilious was a
trifing matter, hardly worth thinking about.
But let il be remembered that, as tall oaks
from little acorns grow, so formidable diseases
arise from being "a little bilious"
Severe bilious attacks are more common in
Spring. Summer and Autumn than in Winter,
but the serious disorders Of the liver which so
often occur at those seasons, may be traced in
hundreds of instances, to Winter indulGenees
and their neglected consequences. More highly
seasoned food is eaten more fiery drinks i'm
bibed, in cold than in warm weather and thus
the bliousness is produced which, under a
warmer temperature, eliminates in rgmittent
and intermittent fevers
The very best medicine for persons who are
either little or good deal bilious, is HOSTEL.
TER's STOMACH BITTERS. No biue-pill or
calome is required in such cases. Those pow
double. ged sword. They act it is true. upon
the liver, but react most delcteriously on other
parts Of the system. They stick there, and
cannot be got rid of. The Bitters contain vege'
table agents of an anti.bilieus tendency, that
produce a specific and most genial effect upon
the hillary Orgap, without entailing any evil
consequences whatever. They are altogether
wholesome and act favorably and simultaneously
upon the stomach, the liver, the bowels, the
nervous system and the brain.
