The creator, 'Charles Forde', claimed to use ingredients sourced from a previously unidentified vegetable known to Aboriginal Australians. The Bile Beans purported to purify the blood and disperse unwanted fat. However, in reality it contained common pharmaceutical ingredients such as menthol and liquorice. They were found to be fraudulently advertised during a Scottish court case in 1905; however, they were sold until the 1980s.A fascinating piece of advertising - and false medicinal - history. In the publisher's original paper wraps. Externally generally smart, with a little discolouration to the covers. Internally firmly bound. Pages are a touch age-toned, but clean. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
