What is this "nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean,
ing of another word used by our fore-fathers
in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called BiliOusness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can wei

young and graceful riders and there were
old plowhorses looking as shabby as their
riders. There was one lady in the party
who won considerable admiration by the
gracs and skill with which she managed her
horse.
