BILIOUS ATTACKS.

tt is very common to find people who tiro in gcod'health, taking food regularly, and enjoying life thoroughly, falling a victim at frequent intervals to bilious attacks. For a day' or two they may feel unusually bright and in high spirits, then the appetite falls off slightly; they eat meals at the regular hours, then begin to be a bit dull and heavy-headed, drowsy perhaps and languid, complain of broken rest at night, and finally they have a bilious attack. Jn the course of this the alimentarr canal, from end to end, is pretty well cleared out and gets an enforced rest of irom half a day to a dav or more, during which little or no food is taken Aow it is the universal experience that after an attack of this kind, when the brief illness is over and the normal functions are restored, the person i'eela much better and stronger than for several days before, and this although ho may have eaten nothing f or a fay or more. In other words, ho feels better fasting than he did feeding. Such an illness or indisposition invariably results from over-eating—an accumulation of surplus matter in the system which has been carelessly shovelled in without regard to its suitability or the necessity for it. The body takes the prompt and sensible course of getting rid or this surplus in the most precipitate manner. ao slight form of illness is more common than this, and nono jit more easy to avoid. It is the result of over-eating, and' Jet over-eating is, as a rule, vehemently denied 1 by the worst sufferers.
