The symptoms of biliousness are IN
happily but too well known. They diff
fer in different individuals to some ex-
tent A bilious man is seldom break
fast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has
an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids of morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any time;
if it is not white and furred, it is rough
at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out Of
order and diarrhea or constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often hemorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or tlatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try Green's August Flower, it
cost but trifle and thousands attest its
efficacy. 39yI
