RLL.I0USMESS,


Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such Is
?urredtongue, vomiting ofbile,
giddiness, sick headache, ir-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
cpetes the bile and acts like q
filter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. BY irregu-
larity In its action or suspen-
siolS OF its functions, the bile
is liable TO overflow into the
blood, causing aundice, sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
ious diaPrhcoa, q languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection OF the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by tho
grand regulator CT the liver
and hillary organs, BURD0CK
BLOOD BITTERS. II acts upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the culyePts
and sideways for the outlet
OF disease. Sold everywhere
and guaranteed to cure.

A Poor Farmer.

"As there is nothing for me tn do nj

poor farmer. indeed. who cauuot al

Such "A one vii. never find that farm
ing pays. He had rather sit oil dry
goods boxes nj the store, and bottom
chairs" at some hotel or saloon. than
remain at home about his business.
He is NATURALLY iudulrnt. mentally and
blind, or he would always be ahle to
see something TO be done at home. no

lie would always see that loafing and
sitting around in the village couiln ev-

is nothing to do al the barn. i'll the corn

mRn who can ;ind nothing to do ut

failure. lie brings suffering To all
connected with him. and everything
alive around him suffers from his neg
