A Bilious Attack.

When you have a blnous attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
lions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stonl-
aeh instead Of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberiain's Tablets.
They win tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you viii soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
