His Royal Highness' intimate knowledge of languages enabled me to employ him with groat advantage on confidential missions of some importance, and his services have proved of considerable value.

Similar aftacks were reported during these "NOTHING SEEMED RIGHT” three days all along the line of the Allied front, and it is certain that the enemy then made one last great effort to establish`uscén- daney.

The Barrative below of Mr P Ander- 1st, who is a prosperous retired farmer froin the Orange Free State, shows how early disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels came to wrecking his hopes of raping the full reward of his labours. Bappily for him he found in Mether Beigel's Syrup the remedy ho needed.

and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach; 2nd the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent By following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be found quite unnecessary. That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family Medicine is vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience.
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine, which forces the food out of the body, depriving the stomach of its nourishment and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stomach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive organs by obtaining the maximum of nutriment from the food which sustains the body and assures good health.
DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an eficient, 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, chap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do,
