Most cases of bilious colic depend upon catarrh of the liver. For this condition purgatives are generally used. These give temporary relief, but do not cure. The correct thing to do Is to remove the catarrh. Then the liver rights itself. Anyone troubled with sluggish liver should give Peruna a fair trial. If, after taking one bottle, relief is ex perienced. It should be followed by a thorough course of Peruna until complete relief is obtained. with these nude pictures.
