The liver is disturbed by mental exertion and anger. The liver seems to manu-facture an excess of bile. Perverted viscid bile that readily forms gall-stones. It causes the liver to make healthy bile which is the natural solvent of gall-stones, when given in homœopathic doses at long intervals. It has cured many cases of gall-stone colic.
