About Boven years ago my health began throngh overwork and worry. My liver was sluggish in its action, and I suffered from constipation and indigestion, and, finally, debility. Several doctors prescribed for me bat I derived no benefit from their treatment, I also tried several medicines advertised as a cure for my complaints, but still failed to improve in health. Bile beans were recom- manded by a friend, and although I had little faith in their daing many good after all the others had failed, I purchased box. Their offect was marvellous from the first few doses, aud, continuing the course, I was quickly restored to health. Since that time i have nerer been without bile benas in the bouse, and of my baru recommended them to scorra patients, and in each case they have derived great benefit.
