ABOUT
PILLS.
Many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen bottles of medicine in Jiquid form prescribed by a doctor, but view with alarm the suggestion fo take a course of pills. This misapprehension is no doubt due to the impression that pills are merely purgative, which may be correct in some instances. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pill, however, are not merely purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain morc important properties, which correct all disorders of the Blood, and Kidneys, and the Stomach, evidence

Though the weather is not quite só ideal for the river and its joys as it was last week, there may be a genial change for the Whitsun week-end, and it is well to be propared with suitable raimont.
