An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now 20 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-fsthers
in times past. SO il is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended TO cover
what our grandfsthers 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 well
appreciate cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

claimed for it. When mixed with water a
double phosphate is formed and remains in

the bread after raising is rochelle salts-a
double tartrate. The phosphates are useful
substances in animal nutrition and growth,
the tartrates are not. In my opinion, the
