Evans tells the peo - pie of the South hat causes that lazy, heavy feeling which they call "biliousness", "torpid liver" or "touch of malaria," and for it offers one or more safe remedies. He says: "The southern people eat too much of starches and sugars. For instance, at breakfast they will have biscuits, wadles, and .spoon bread. They eat two or three starchy foods at each meal. If they will eat less food, es pecially less starches and sweets, if they w ill eat more fruit and more of coarser articles of diet, and if they will exercise more, Uhey will get bilious less often. j "When they get bilious and a ' purgative is needed, a dose of ; salts or a glassof purgative wal ler, is about all that is needed. : Calomel is not a direct liver stimulant. Indirectly, it stimu , larps th. liv by stimulating the intestines 'In nin'o i of ten bili- ousness is relieved better, all things considered, by a medicine which acts solely or practically !so in the large intestine.
