Biliousness is caused by the
natural sewers of the body getting

Eel, is turned into the blood.
Life is a burden to the bilious
person. The sufferer may have an
abnormal appetite, yet has no desire
for action. He is troubled in his
sleep, has pains, bitter taste in the
mouth. The tongue is coated and
he has dizzy speels. All this may
lead to dangerous forms of disease
as the body is more susceptible then
TO the Judgement of disease than
when in its normal healthy condi-
tion.
Tonall is a foe to biliousness and
all kindred ailments. The Roots,
Herbs and Barks being natures aids

again.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas Drug
Store, Harrisburg. Pa, where the

Mrs. Neal affirmed that her nus

condition for some time. She said
that every time the report of death
reached his ears he lamented the
fact that his existence dragged on.
Mrs. Neal said her husband had
always been fond of going into the

ably made his way there. He always
enjoyed talking about a hut in the
mountains, and it is becoming in
creasingly certain in the minds OF
his friends that he wandered into
the mountains and died of exposure.
