BAD LIVERS.
Not only is the Liver the largest but one of the most important organs in the human body, and when deranged it becomes the source of endless suffering. When, the Liver is clogged by the inactivity of the kidneys and bowels, it becomes torpid, and fails to filter the bile from the blood, thus producing biliousness and a general impairment of the digestive system. The tongue is coated, the head aches. digestion is imperfect; there is aching of the limbs and back, feelings of fulness, weight and soreness over the stomach and liver; the eye becomes yellow and jaundiced and the complexion muddy, the urine is scanty and highly coloured, and the bowels irregular, constipation and looseness alternating.
There is little use treating the liver separately, as it can never be set right until the kidneys and bowels are made active in removing the waste from the body. It is for this very reason that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have always proved so wonderfully successful in curing the most chronic Liver complaint, biliousness and complicated ailments of the kidneys, liver, and bowels. They reach the liver as no other remedy does.
They are perfect Blood Puider and

In the face of these losse the attack was pressed to a point about eighty yards from the German trenches Here Major Duhas, Captain Mackie and Captain Banks, of the Guides, who was attached to the regiment, were all killed, as were also two Indian others, and four Indian officers wounded.
A DEVOTRO SERVANT,' Captain Banks orderly, a Sikh named Bhan Singh, had been severely wounded in the face early in the action. In spite of this, he insisted on following his master till Captain Banks was killed. In the face of the appalling fire, and severely wounded as he was, Bhan Singh's one thought was to bring back the body of his officer. Weak As he was from loss of blood, he staggered along carrying the body until he fell from exhaustion, and was forced to give up the attempt. Nothing daunted, however, he eventually managed to bring in his master's accoutrements. For this act of devotion and gallantry he has received the Indian Distinguished Service Medal. ...
