LIVER AILMENTS. • Tho principal duties of the liver are to cleanse the blood, ancL-.to furnish "a fluid ,called the bile for the proper digestion of food. . This. fluid-'-is ipost necessary to the process of'digestloh, and if it bo deficient: in quantity or poor in quality indigestion and various disorders of thd "saino land ' are “the r esult , and great harm is done. The duct or pipe leading from the liver to the stomach sometimes becomes clogged and the free passage of the bile is thus preventd. This may be caused by the presence of gall-stones, or by the formation ,of a thick, slimy substance on the walls of tho duct. When this happens the bile is forced back into the gall-bladder, which overflows, and thus the bile is carried out through the only other outlet, the Thoracic duct, and ,up to thd left shoulder, where it empties into a large vein, passes to the heart, and is mixed with blood. This state is termed Bilousness. Another important point to be considered is the insufficient amount of bile now available for diges tivo purposes. Without sufficient bile a through separation • between the useful and waste parts of the food in the. stomach: becomes impossible, indigestion results, and consequent constipation is unavoidable. ‘ Piles, worths, wmc. on the stomach, and bad taste in the mouth also results to a greater or less degree from this disordered condition of I the liver. , The bile is a coarse, greasy fluid, of a-yellowish-green colour, and its presence 1 '' in-the • blood is made manifest in many , y/ays. The complexion, at once assumes pi yellowish tinge, which increases with f tim'd," and eventually becomes quite dark. The eyes'become yellow-and dull, i and the : whole : appearance is dirty - and r greasy.-> The pdreS iof the skin are obstructed, and givp rise to pimples, boils, "blotches, itchings, watery vesicles, and in cases of long the more exaggerated forms of skin disease, such as erysipelas, eczema, tumours, ulcers, sores, &6. Many and varied are the effects of a disorder of the kind mentioned. Ihe tongue is coated with a white or brown matter, there is a difficulty in breathing, and it is impossible to get a full breath; there is also a tightness across the chest, especially after eating. The sufferer is . generally given to faintness and sighing, and pains are felt in various parts of the body,—usually the back, chest, and side, and occasionally tho left shoulder. The stomach and bowels become inflamed and sore, causing the flesh just . below the ribs to be very tender. Theface is flushed, and .there is sometimes a : dry, hacking cough, or a huskiness, which is often mistaken for consumption -or other lung trouble. The appetite is irregular sometimes voracious, at others Absolutely. lacking. There is a ; . chill feeling along the inside of the limbs and in the feet. The disposition of the, patient is one of .the most- noticeable effects of liver trouble. Low-spirited, and without energy or ambition, he becomes melancholy, discontented, and suspicious of all around him; there is I a great dread of trouble, and a desire to 1 be rid of ail responsibility. Langour prevails as a rule, but in many cases there is an inability to sleep. The foregoing facts dearly demonstrate; that the liver is actually responsible for a great ■ many complaints' which do not at first glance appear to have their origin in a disarrangement of this organ. Bi’e Beans for Biliousness regulate the liver, they enable it to do its own work quickly and thoroughly. In this way Bile Beaus will undoubtedly cure all the ailments mentioned. If you suffer from any of these you cannot do better than give Bile Beans a trial. ONE WOMAN’S WORD. HIGH PRAISE FOR BILE BEANS. The great worth of Bile Beans is very capitally illustrated in the case of Mrs Jane Column, of Bpauford street, Hamilton, Newcastle, who said to a reporter: “For 13 years I was in delicate slate of health, my earliest symptom : being violent retching and pains in the head; these were,shortly followed by a complete loss of appetite and restioss nights., I had several of the best doctors in Newcastle in attendance on me from time to time, and tried'all kinds of patent medicines, but I could get no real relief. It seemed, too, that what little I could eat I could not digest. Dreadful pains would now and again come in my back and kidneys,and especially under the, shoulder blade. the pain in the shoulder seemed to stab me like a knife. To walk merely about the house'was hard work for me, and I nearly always felt sick. My sight grow dull, everything had a blurred look, and I really felt ‘like a log of wood. The least exertion prostrated me; I could not stand for 10 minutes without becoming fatigued, my feet getting numb as if pins and needles were being stuck in them. Bile Beaus for Biliousness were brought under my notice, and just as an experiment I took some. After a few doses I found an improvement in my condition, so I continued taking them, and I have steadily improved ever since, and now I must say I have never icit better for 20 years. My friends arc astounded at my cure, and all say I look remarkably well. As for my appetite; well, my daughters are sometimes astonished at what I can oat. Yes/' concluded Mrs Colman, “ 1 firmly believe that it was Bile Beans alone that cured me. I have taken nothing in the meanwhile, and they have done me a wonderful amount of good in every conceivable way; in fact, I’m quite a new woman.” COMPLAINTS OF WOMEN. Numbers of things in the physical make-up of the female differ so materially from those of the male that they require cures peculiar to themselves. Woman is the “ weaker vessel,” and? many of the female organs are so delicate that they need a great deal of care. Of course there are many ailments peculiar to women about which a physician I must be consulted. It is not always ] to a doctor about every ill that assails one’s good health, nor is it always necessary. There are many tilings a woman can do for herself, and a little care and attention on her part, together with a short course of Bile Beans, will often save big doctor’s bills and great trouble from serious derangement of tho organs A gradual losing of flesh is oftciT the first sign that the functional secretions are not going on regularly, liio eyes become yellow and inflamed and the complexion sallow, the face being sometimes covered ‘with bla-k specks. In cases of this kind every effort suould bo made to obtain re-ii-ianty oi action in all the organs.
