righteousness: Quite a number or in o,,iI3ea regarding biliousness have raacbed me lately. Several years. ago T published an article on that sunJecG sI believe it to be equally interesting 70 my readers now as then
 Persons often take something Iof the Hvesfs' when there is nothing what aver inc matter with the liver. They are bilious when the liver IS simply dofnz it's exact duty. It is not the secretion of too much bile by the liver, but the fact that the bile is not car ried off because of the inactivity or IF f,,,S U ,.stI,ral course Of the bile is downward and when it. does not go that way, biliousness follows and With it a train of woe. The lack or acliV- ity In the lower stomach and 1ntes- 2. tines forces the bile upward ana lneo L.to the stomach and there is where the real trouble begins. It Is mot thaA there is too much bile, but that it has gone to the wrong place. It has gone there because of fmpactfon of fecaI matter in the colon. tntestines. and so on upward. The bile crowded into the stomach is absorbed by the blood and this causes the yellow tshed. jaundiced coIorinseof the skin so com mon to bilious and constipated per sonssf
 What could be a more natural sug-
 
 needs seyvashing oI1t.'' The system needs to be cIeansed of impurities. or course, the first thing to be done is to remove the cause, and to do that quit taking on the impurities For the time being even bread and meat are irnpurfties Coffee, tea, alcoholic drinks and tobacco are impurities from beginning to end. Instead of bread and meat for a. while, let the diet be juicy fruits and vegetables Oranges, bananas and stewed prunes are gooo in the morning p;ples, stewed apHcofs and peaches in the evening. Good fresh vegetables of all kinds, properly cook ed and fruits in their season, such as
 grapes, oranges, etc. may be partaken
 of freely at other times of the day.
 Having thus prepared the system for the washing out,'' apply the rem e5y for biltousness. Take a quart o1 pu1e, distilled water or filtered rain
 water, heat 1t to the Boiling point-de not let it boif-remove it from the di- rect heat and while it has retained
 the temperature. as nearly as 1t car be to what it then was, pour out g
 cupful, add a few drops of lemon juice If you wish, also a pinch of salt if yor | desire. Sip the cup of hot water bJ E teaspoonfuls until you have taken ths entire cupfu1 and then sip two u1or' cupfuls the same way. Rest a. .httls while and finish the quart 4nItA e same
 way and go to bed-tnfs having occur
 red just before bedtime. r5H
 You will be astonished at the gooc
 results of. such a simple process. I 2 will turn the bile in the right direction 2 to perform it's funcfions and fhe lonf
 standing cause o4 constipation and
 bi1iousness will be removed.
 Continue the hot water treatmen.
 every night for a week. then ever. other night for a week, then as yoI
 think occasion demands When th' \ constipation is stubborn, take an erne
 ma Of three quarts of tepid water. Tn object of the treatment is to brinl
 about a. free and normal action of tn bowels and this will do it, without tn strenuous action of strong cathartic and other violent drugs. It is the nat ural way, and nature is grateful fo natural processes.
