What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? If
YOU will remember few years ago the word
Malafis was comparatively unknown,-to-
day it is as common 2s any word in the
English language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by cur
forelathers in times past. So it is with ner-
vous diseases, as they aud Malaria are in
tended TO cover what our grandtathers called
BiIiousness, and all are caused by troubles
that arise from a diseased condition Of the
Liver which ia performing 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
