An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble"
with 'which so many seem now to
be afflicted? If you will remem
ber, a few years ago tho word Ma
laria was comparatively unknown,
to-day it is as common as any
word in the Knglish language;
yet this word covers only the
meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So
it is with nervous riisease,;iN they
and malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called bil
iousness, and all are caused by
troubles that arise from a diseased
condition of the liver, which, in
performing its functions, finding
it can't dispose of the bile througu
the ordinary channel, is compelled
to pass it off' through the system,
causing nervous troubles, malaria,
bilious fever, etc. Aon who am
suffering can well appreciate a
cure. We recommend (iieen's
August Flower. Its cures are
marvelous.
