AN EXPLANATION.

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 1t is as common as any word in
the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers ia times past
SO Il 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
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 who are
suffering can we'll appreciate cure. We
