CAUSE AND
CURE
10.30 A M
This distressing complaint so common in all hot countries is caused by the Bile overflowing in the Blood." It is not an in- dependent disorder but the symptoms of other complaints which cause the Bile to overflow in this manner instead of entering the
intestines to perform its mission of aiding in the digestion and assimilation of food.. Jaundice causes the skin and eyes to become yellow, and vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in the mouth, flatulence, belch ing and pains in the stomach may all be accompanying symptoms. The disordered condition of the Liver is the most common cause of this complaint and a remedy that will reach the Liver is the only effective one. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills reach the Liver as no other remedy
Linable to cat or sleep.
does, speedily causing the Bile to flow through its proper channel. They get at the cause of the complaint driving the poison out of the blood, and toning the entire system. There is no more effective remedy for this complaint, as a trial will prove, than Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills which are a positive and permanent cure for all Liver and Kidney dis- orders, Constipation, Biliousness, Impure Blood, and Female Ailments.
