Is known by these marked peculiarities: ■
1. A fooling of weariness and pains in tho
limbs.
2. Bad breath, bad taste in the mouth, 1
and furred tongue. .
3. Constipation, with occasional attacks '
of diarrhoea* 1 i
Headache, in the front of tho head;
nausea, dizziness, and yellowness of i
fekin. < I
5. Heartburn, loss of appetite.
6. Distention of the stomach and bowels
by wind. ’
7. Depression of spirits, and great molan- ! ,
choly, with lassitude and a disposition
to leave everything for to-morrow.
A natural flow of Bile from the Liver ,
is essential to good healtii. When this '
is obstructed It results in , ! 1
BILIOUSNESS,
which, if neglected, soon leads to serious
diseases. Simmons Liverßegulatorexerts i
a most felicitous inlluenceover every kind
of biliousness, it restores the Liver to
proper working order, regulates the secre
tion of bile and puts the digestive organs
In such condition that they can do their
best work. After taking this medicine no
one will say, “1 am bilious,’’
“I have been subject to severe spells of Con
gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of
taking from 15 to 20 grains of calomel which gen
erally laid me up for three or four days. Lately I
have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator,
which gave me relief without any interruption to
business.”—J. 11 ugg, Middleport, Ohio.

As a trifling instance of Mr.

that he can lay his hand on any one l

to this habit of doing so much of

shows on every subject with which
he grapples, is in a great measure .
due.

Hundreds of thousands of cattle

roads have rendered it useless, and
