The work is divided into nine books with a cozoise introduction and classification and a thorough explanation of the various technica¡ terms used throughout, which will be greatly appreciated by those whom the book interests, and it is important that the early chapters olivud be clearly understood or the reasoning of the authors in defining the dates of the various buildinga terlewod will not be fully

Peace or War East of Baikal? · By E. J. Harrison, Hongkong Mecam Kolly & Walab,
It must be eminently satisfactory to tho author who, having carefully collated evidence obtainable from Russian and Japanese sources, and leaving the inference, to be drawn that there was no immediate prospect of war between the late belligerents, finds his conclusions so quickly confirmed as they have been by the Rumo- Japanese agreement. Mr. Harrison, a well- Lown Far Eastern journalist, has in this book presented the conditions as they actually exist in Eastern Asia, and writing as he does without suy apparent partiality, his work can be honestly recommended to all who wish to make them- Belves au faft with Far Eastern politics. He quotes from Russian newspaper articles, written before and sinse the war, with a view to indi. esting the nature of Russia's tenure in Siberia, One writer describes it as a series of ventures, No settled policy was developed till later years. and then it met with disaster. This led to B realisation of the insecurity of her present posi- tion on the Pacific Ocean, with a consequent feeling of "funk" and distrust, but the under- standing which has been arrived at between Russia and Japan will probably restore in some degres the confidence which the Bassians formerly had in themselves. Mr. Harrison deals ont praise and blame with an even hand, and while ho is consciens of Russia's mistakes and faults, he gives her credit where it is due. So with Japan. He is not blind to her faults, but at the same time he pleads that she be fairly. judged. As.be.saya. in bis pre- face: "I trmat that the context will make it abunda atly clear that I by no means share tho belief of many publicists in the sinister and warlike preparations of Japan for an opio ofort to win the hogemony of East Asia. The fact that the scaremongers in Russia are conviLood that Russia is Japan's prospective foe, and that the same gentry in Americs are equally cortalu that for Russia we must read the United States, should be sufficient to demonstrate the unstable foundation upon which all sach swooping con- clusions: must, noosaarily rest. In any event, it seems unfair to censure Japan for faithfally following the example of every other first-class Power in the world to day. If in this respect hir post bellura actious may impress political priesta as incompatible with the higher ethics and the behests of the categorical imperative, she is at any rate sinning in good company. For the rest her statesmen have left no siene unturned to prove that their aims are essentially defensive, not offensive; nor will any unpreja. diced onlooker blame Japan for declining to commit her Gestinies on the mainland to the elicacy of awest reasonableness, in profenace to more lethal arguments: So far, be it noted, no single Power has had the temerity to souse

THE BLOOD is the LIFE of the FLESH
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills-What they are and what they do. Their Four Principal Ingredients.
It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely: Impurity of the Blood. Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing paina, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted; and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in Nature's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.
One of the roots from which these Pills are made, is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assiste Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption" within." The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from, the lungs by copious spitting,
+
The third is a DIURETIC, which gives ease and double strength to the Kidneys ; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.
The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels.
From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely root out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body, which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean.
DR, MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moistero, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do.
