An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which 30 many seem now to be afflicted ?
If You viii remember few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known, -to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers 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 larise
from diseased condition of the Liver
which in 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
