PAINFUL CASE OF DEBILITY.

CURED BY BILE, BEANS.

suffer from debility mears that your stomach is completely out of order, and until this is rectified you go on enduring the tortures of pain caused by in- digested food, sleeplessness, sharp twinges of pain like knife,stabs, through the whole of the body, and many other similar dis- comforts. In all cases of debility Bilo Beans are a proved remedy. They speedily banish pain and restore the health to the sufferer. Hear what Mrs Emily Jane Asy- ward, at 18, Radnor Road, Hanfield, near Bristol, England, says :-

bed

Last March I was confined to my: for three weeks in a very serious condition, suffering from terrible pairs which had spread all over my body. I could not or lay down with any comfort, and no sleep matter what medione I took I could not obtain relief. My appetite began to fail and I suffered from general debility. There was a continual tingling in my fingers, and a severe pain across my back. If I pattook of any food I was in agony for -hours afterwards, In fact, eating was more of a torture than B pleasure. I obtained medical advice, but the body pains did not leave me, and was continually suffering.

Then I heard of Bile Boans, and com- menced to take them. I soon found my appetite was returning, and I began to eat without having the discomforting pains afterwards. In a little while I got entirely rid of the many ailments to which I had been subject. Lam now in a splendid state of health. The debility is gone," and I have a keen appetito. I can conscien- tiously say that I am in as good a state of health as ever in my life and it has been brought about by Bile Beans. I am recom. monding them to all my friends and espe- cially to those who are siling."

Bila Beans aro a cure for indigestion, debility, biliousness, constipation, pilos, nervousness, anemia, female ailments, weakness, sleeplessnoes, loss of appetite, liver complaint, headache flatulence, pim- ples, and skin eruptions. Obtainable from all chemists and medicine vendors; price 75 cents (Mox.) per bottle,
