SUMMER FAG.

BILE BEANS BANISH DEBILITY, HEADACHE, LOSS OF APPETITE AND KINDRED SUMMER AILMENTS. The hot weather is responsible for much of the stomach, liver and digestive trouble so prevalent just now. When headache, debility, worn-out feelings; jadedness, depression, fickle appetite, liverishness and general weakness of the whole rnako daily work drag wearily and every duty seem a burden, it is a sign that a short course of Bile Beans is needed to tone-up, cleanso and regulate the liver, strengthen the stomach, gently flush the bowels, restore the entire alimentary (or digestive) canal to healthy activity, and invigorate the whole system. Headache then ceases to worry; indigestion and' 'biliousness are banished, and a clear mind and buoyant body enable you to defy summer's heat. The following case of Mrs M. M'Manus, of James Street, ItaYenswood, Q., is an illustration. She says: -—" The trying summer heat is sometimes very distressing to me, causing me bilioiis attacks, headache and vomiting, which quite unfitted, me for my household duties. What with my poor appetite, no relish for food, and. tho wretched feeling accompanying the biliousness, my life seemed to be a perfect misery. I was advised to undergo a course of Bile Beans, and am thankful to' say that they suited me admirably, curing me of tho biliousness and restoring my usual good health." By toning up the liver and stomach, and gently opening the bowels, Bile Beans promptly .dispel Summer Fag, Lassitude. Fatigue, Headache, Debility, Loss of Appetite, Aneemia, and ensure sleep by restoring Nature's healthy functions. Bile Beans are a proved remedy for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Piles, Bad Blood and Offensive Breath, Nausea, etc. Obtainable everywhere at Is ljd or 2s 9d large family bo* three timea; tjb.e Is IJ<W' '>"" "" ■"'"' *">'
