THAT feeling, so prevalent in the hot weather, which, makes men tired of life and work, is becoming more common, every year. Many attribute this to the climate; and, in fact, the climate is responsible—very slightly, however. If you feel WEABY and lack energy, you may rest assured that your blood is thin, weak, and impure; if it were rich and pure it would impart vitality 11 ■a.JKI energy to every, nerve and organ in the body, and the whole system would be robust and healthy. When the system is run dawn from weakness of the blood, you become tired and , v WORN-OUT and you are only able to do a very slight amount of work without feeling great fatigue. You have a constant desire to lie down, and at the end of the day feel utterly worn-out and dispirited. You may, by force of will, overcome that worn-out ■ __ , FEELING for a time, but this course acts Oβ the nerves, and results eventually in "nerrous prostration!" the blood only becomes impure when the stomach, liver, and bowels are not in good working order, and the digestion ia poor. The liven fails to perform,its functions in cleansing the blood, and the system becomes "run down." - BILE BEANS are the best remedy for complaints of this sort. They enable the stomach, to do its work quickly and thoroughly, help the liver to help itself, and do away. with, Constipation and Indigestion. Rieb blood is the result, and with a stream of red, pure blood flowing through your veins, you will be free from disease, and lack of energy will be a thing of the past. For a general toning up of the system, there is nothing like Bile Beans for Biliousness. They put things in order, so tnat Nature can do her work, which is all that is required. BQe Beans are sold generally at 1/IJ, or 2/9 large box (contains three tunes the quantity of 1/1 A size). Remember, their greatest cures are effected when alLelse has failed.
