as Sunday in Canada town, and re-
mains SO until the cavity fills up with
water to a certain point. then she
spouts again. 1t is much the same
with a bilious attack. All goes we'll
after an attack for a certain time, in
fact. you can say truthfully that you
never felt better in your life, and per-
haps on the following day when the
attack Is on that you never felt worse.
If you are close observer you will
notice that you had no appetite be-
fore the attack came on but ate as
usual because it was meal time. If you
take three of Chamberlain's Tablets as
soon as your appetite fails you may
be able to avoid the attack. Try It.
