eiLE BEAN fi VICTORY. Mrs. Holdsworth, of Easy Ter- race, Richmond Hill, Leeds, has had an experience which, fortunately, few mortals are called upon to en- dure. For a period of between five and six years she has been struggling

under ill-health ; and never com- pletely out of the hands of the medical practitioner. How long she could have continued her pro- gramme it is impossible to say, but she at last stumbled across a remedy so eminently simple, cheap, and efficacious that she had persis- tently ignored it for more complex and more costly curatives which in the end proved not to be remedies at all. At the present time she is better than she has been for years. It came about in this way. About six years ago she began to suffer from nervous debility, and gradually giew worse until she could not hold a plate in her hand, and could not stand to wash one. At last, when she was so bad that she could not stand, and was in momentary fear of a stroke, a doctor was called in, and prophesied a long and severe illness. A.nd so it proved. Her daughters had to take charge of all the housework, as she was absolutely unable to stir a hand in that direction. " I could not lift a pan or a kettle from the fire," she says, " or hold anything, if I had been paid ever so much for doing it." esiii ,

In all parts of the world, Bile Beans for Biliousness have earned for themselves by their unequalled excellence a i-eputation which places them to day far in advance of any other similar preparation. This specific is not a carelessly prepared nostrum ; on the contrary, it is the result of long and thoughtful research on the part of an Australian Chemist, who, after years of study, dis- covered a natural vegetable substance which after further study he succeeded in compounding with other ingredients, so that its effect on the digestive organism of the human system is identical with that of the natural bile created by the liver. Finding this, then, to be the most natural cathartic obtainable, the public rapidly accepted it in prefei-ence to all others, and consequently the old methods of starving and the use of pepsin and bismuth sank into insignificance and oblivion. Acting on the bowels in a gentle manner. Bile Beans do not weaken or in any way distress the patient. This is a point in which they differ materially from nearly all laxative remedies sold to-day, as the latter usually act in a violent manner, weakening the patient, and in many cases doing more harm than good.

CHARLES FORDE'S BILE BEANS FOR BILIOUSNESS

Have been found an undoubted cure for Headache, Influenza, Costiveness, Piles, Liver Trouble, Bad Breath, Rheumatism, Liver Chill, Indigestion, Constipation, Debility, Anaemia, Female Ailm.ents, Pimples, and all ailments arising from defective bile flow, assimilation, and digestion. Bile Beans are obtainable of all Chemists, or Post-Free from THE BILE BEAN MANUFAC- TURING CO., iig and 120, London Wall, London.

A more common and annoying complaint than Biliousness it is hard to find. It prohibits the sufferer from dciing work ot" any

kind, holding a con\ersation, or even resting quieriy ; not only this, but the nausea is most disagreeable, and the taste and breath are exceedingl)' offensive. It is an ailment caused by a surcharge oi bile becoming stagnant in the stomach, and is generally accom- panied by Indigestion and Constipation, vomiting, and a yellow appearance of the complexion. Dizzine.is and violent headaches are usual symptoms. The bik is the natnra.1 pargatise of the body,

and is secreted by the liver ; if it fails to flow in its usual channels, or to perform its usual duties, the liver is responsible. A remedy should be applied at once that will act in an e.^cient manner, and the i-emedy to take is Bile Beans, which are compounded expressly for ailments of this sort. They are so prepared that they act directly on the liver, helping it to help itself, and enabling it to secrete enough bile to flush the bowels thoroughly, and thus clear off all waste and offensive matter from the system. This rem.edy is well known, and is conceded the most m.ild and effective medicine of the age. It does not afford mere temporary relief, but an absolute and lasting cure. It sells on its merits alone.
