Bilious Attacks Liver Complaint Biliousness is just another name for a clogged or sluggish liver. It is a very common complaint, but can bo quicldy remedied by stimulating the flow of bile. This softens the accumulated mass, the poisons are carried out of the system, and the liver and bowels are relieved and toned up. Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken and enliven the sluggish liver, open­ ing up every channel, by causing a free flow of bile and thus cleansing tho liver of the clogging impurities.
