"THE WELCOME NUGGET.”
THE BIGGEST LUMP OF GOLD FOUND IN AUSTRALIA.
There are few Australians who have not heard of “The Vv T elcome Nugget,” and there are few* museums existing in the colonies, without a model of that precious find. So heavy was this piece of gold, that it lay for one week in a shop in Bendigo, at the disposal of any lady who could carry it away. So precious was it that the original owner and finder, investing well the money he received, for its purchase, died a semi-millionaire. And so great was its value from an historic point of view, that few books on mineralogy in any part of the world, are published -without reference to the celebrated “Welcome Nugget.” The advent of the nugget brought wealth, but there is not a single record which goes to prove that its arrival brought health. How different is it with Bile Beans for Biliousness, wherever they are found they bring with them. They are more precious than all the “Welcome Nuggets. And well do Australians know it. Indeed, there are hundreds of miners in Australia to-day who have been cured by Bile Beans for Biliousness, from complaints owing their origin to the inhalation of foul air, from indigestion, constipation, piles and those other complints peculiar to a miner’s life. These miners acknowledge that when their health failed, Bile Beans for Biliousness was more precious to them than would be the finding of the buggest nugget under the bowels of the earth.
