'You may count on my man Barnes; I have proved him. He is up to his work even when he's bilious: only, in that case, occurring about once a fortnight, you must leave him to fight it out with the elements. 'I rather like men of action to have a temper. 'I can't say much for a bilious temper. The weather to-day really seemed of that kind, she remarked.
He was a sharp, black-haired young man, with a worried brow and a bilious complexion. The soothing of the human race with Sypher's Balm of Gilead mattered nothing to him. His atrabiliar temperament rendered his attitude towards humanity rather misanthropic than otherwise. "Indeed," he continued, "I don't see why you shouldn't try for the army contracts without referring specifically to sore feet."
Capt. C. thought himself somewhat bilious and had not had a passage for several days; I prevailed on him to take a doze of Rushes pills, which I have always found sovereign in such cases and to bath his feet in warm water and rest himself. Capt.
They told us that the overseer had been seized three days before with fever, and was now desperately ill; and presently the doctor came forth out of the sick room. "Poor Wedderfelt is fast going, sir cold at the extremities already very bad fever the bilious remittent of the country, of the worst type."
I had a sadder fellow-feeling with the little dark- chinned, meagre man, by that time, and I came away.

According to the written statement, which was also published in the newspapers, Madame had been carried off by an attack of bilious colic.

The sun, pale and without rays, poured down leaden heat in a strangely indecisive light, and the Chinamen were lying prostrate about the decks. Their bloodless, pinched, yellow faces were like the faces of bilious invalids.
It seemed to filter in through the pores of my skin, but it was information that I felt sure was correct. Captain Newmarch was a bilious Englishman with a thin, scrawny beard.
