BILIOUSNESS.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1st, 1913,
There are many causes of this complaint, but they all spring from a disordered liver which does not properly fulfil its functions, especially in a warm climate, when it becomes sluggish in its action. The bile is turned from ita proper channel, und enters the blood, and the person so affected is demoralised throughout his entire system,
They Reach the Liver
The presence of biliary poison in the blood upsets the entire digestive system, and is the chief cause of sick headaches. It also causes dull pains and uneasiness in the right side and shoulder blade, a bitter taste in the mouth, sudden dizziness on rising, spots Boating before the eyes, fuired tongue, bad breath, howels: loose one day and constipated the next. All or any of these symptoms may accompany the billous condition, and while so affected life is scarcely worth livings
Dr. Morse's Indias Roor PiLs relieve this trouble speedily. They open the clogged up system, purify the blood, and cleanse the stomach, causing the human mechanism to work smoothly and easily. On the first appearance of bilious symptoms a dose of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills should be taken, and much unnecessary suffering will be avoided.
