A NARROW ESCAPE

i .< Accounts of " hair-breadth " escapes are always more or less interesting to the general reader, so we venture to give here one related by a Mr Kirwin, an eld Maox-i veteran, who in his time has seen some pretty close calls. The following story he is very fond of relating-, and does so with great enthusiasm : — "1 was a sufferer frcm liver affection for years, and conld find no relief until I tried Bile Beans for Biliousness. My main trouble arose from the state of my liver, brought on by constant biliousness. My appetite, once pood, almost entirely failed me. In fact, I took a great dislike to food of any sort. This, for a man of my calling — a carrier- — was a severe affliction, for my bodily strength naturally gave way from loss of sustenance, and I found it next to impossible to do a full day's work. Of course I tried remedies of various sorts, but found little, if any, relief. Life became more or less of a • burden; and I began to think that I was doomed to a life of ill-health. Indeed, the pills I took appenred to increase rather than diminish my malady. After taking a dose of these nostrums I felt a burning seusation in my throat, and an uncomfortable feeling generally, so I determined, come what would, to discontinue taking what purported, to be a remedy, but which, in reality, , was an aggravation of my complaint. .Seeing;.; a- number of. .apparently genuine and disinterested testimonials regarding the curative properties of Bile Beans for Biliousness, I was resolved to try it, and so obtained a box. Wonderful to relate, no sooner had I begun to take these Beans than the distressing symptoms of my long-standing malady began to disappear. -Formerly, I was a victim to insomnia ; in fact, night was. more trying than day. ' Nature's balmy restorer' — sleep — was a stranger to me. .However, thanks to the truly marvellous effects of Bile Beans, I am now able to enjoy a sound sleep nightly, a " good meal — or, rather, meals — and perform a full day's work. To speak plainly, I feel as strong and as active as ever I did in my best days." As a natural consequence, Kirwin is full of gratitude for the restoration of his health. He resides at 472, Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, and anyone seeing him there would hardly think . that he . had passed through such an ordeal or had such a marvellous escape.
