THE REMEDY.


The Bilious, is a disorder of the human system.
a technical definition of the term is this: "Per-
tanning to the bile; disordered in respect to the
bile; as, a bilious patient; depende mt on an ex-
cess of bile; as, bilious temperament; bilious
symptoms.
The word bile, when employed in the sense In
which 1t is to be understood In this article, signt-
fines. according TO the Dictionaries, "a Yellow
greenlsh, bitter, viscid, nauseols fluid secreted
by the liver" "Any arrangement of the bile at
once manifests itself in great bodily discom-
fort, in loss of appetite, and in dependency"
recently remarked an author of a valuabfA
treatise upon this subject.
The same writer further adds: "some of tie
following symptoms are usually prominent:
Pain in the right side, which is very sensitive to
pressure. The pain will sometimes appear to be
located under the shoulder blade. There is also
irregular appetite, hatulence, a sense of fullness
in the region of the stomach, and, sooner or
later, the skin and whites of the eyes become
yellow, the stools clay-colored and the urine yell
low, depositing a eopious sediment" The bal
anee of the too familiar train of Ills needs no
further mention here. The bilious is, as will be
seen, an affection of great magnitude, and of
varied forms of direct and indirect appearance.
The disease is no respecter of persons or loeali-
tiles. Its deadly and implaca5le enemy is found
in
KIDNEY-woRT.
1t acts on the liver and kidneys at the same
time, and by its mild but efficient cathartic
effects moves the bowels freely. The morbid
poisons that have been the cause of all this dis
ease and suffering>will be thrown of; new life
will be infused into every organ, and nature.
thus aided, will soon restore the patient to
health.
Physicians of repute and standing, men who
are honored for their Lrobity, and respected and
trusted for their scientific attainmenrs, are using
Kidney-wort in their practice regularly. NJ
stronger evidence of the worth of the remedy
would seem to be necessary. Such Endorsements
are few and far between. We had almost said
that they were without precedent in the history
of a proprietary remedy. Be that as it may,
however, the fact remains established that Kid
ney-Wort is a natchless remedy, and one that
needs only to be tested to demonstrate its rare
merit as a healer of most of the common mala-
| dies of the human family.

NEARLY a year ago 1 wrote you about the sue

case of bloated kidney disorder. I have also
treated many other diseases successfully with
it, Constipation, in all its forms, yields to it,
and in rheumatic affections 1 have known it to
give almost immediate relief. In female dis
orders it Is equally successful. Take it all in all
it is the most wonderful medicine 1 have eyer
used" DR.. Ballou does not stand alone in his
experience with this remedy. K. K. Clark, NJ.

all that is claimed for it," Whilst Or. C. ".
