If you do, says an article from the State Board of Health, you have net yet learned how to control your appetite and practice other rules of hygiene and right living. What is so called "biliousness" is brought about according to Dr. W. A. Evans, by bio great an intake of food and drink. and not enough of energy an I exercise. As to the taking of calomel for "biliousness," Dr. Evans says: "Calomel Will give relief. So will aloes or anv other nurcative. But to charge the liver w ith re sponsibility is like overloading a willing horse and then abusing him because he cannot pull it ail Temporary relief can be had from twelve hours of hunger and purgation. Calomel is no better as a purge than salts, improved compound cathartic pills or cas tor oil." As to the cure of this condition. Dr. Evans says further: 'The cure lies in readjusting the habits. The amount of muscle work done must be in proportion to the food taken. The amount of meat and eggs eaten must not be greater than is required to repair the waste) in tissue from work. Nor the amount of starches, sugars, and fata greater than the re quirements of heat and energy. If one must supply an overgrown appetite let him fill up on watery fruits and vegetables. If he wants to eat heavily of richer foods let j "i,n tHrn "'e right by working I in lnt' feld r riding horse back. ii .i .. . iiine wuuia escape constipation let him eat bran, fruit and vege tables. This constitutes the only royal road in biliousness. " .
