What is this "nervous trouble"
with which go many seem now to be
afflicted ? If you will remember a
few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown, —to-day it
is as common as any word in the
English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in time*
past. So it is with nervous diseases,,
as the}* and Malaria are intended to
cover what- our grandfathers called
Biliousness, and all are caused by
troubles that arise firm a diseased
condition of the Liver which in per
forming its functions finding it can
not dispose of the bile thiough the
ordinary channel is compelled to
pass it off through the system, caus
ing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bil
ious Fever, etc. You wlo are sufi
ering can well appreciate a cure.
