ABOUT PILLS.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 1915. –
Many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen bottles of medicine in liquid form prescribed by a doctor, but view with akum the suggestion to take a course of pilla. This misapprehension is no doubt due to the impression that pills are merely purgative, which may be correct in some instances. Dr. Morac's Indian Root Pills, however, are not merely purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain one important properties, which correct all disorders of the Blood, Liver and Theys, and the Stontach, evidence of which is not wasting of testimonials sent us voluntarity and gratuitously verify. our statements of what Dr. Morse's inding Root Pills will do and are doing every day.

PARIS, Saturday. On a curious mission, an old man made his way into the French lines the other evening from neighbouring village occupied by the enemy. Having come into possession of a Paria newspaper, the villagers had learned that the French Minister of Tinance had invited all good citizens to exchange their gold for notes. There were only four or five of the original - inhabitants who hard remained in their homes under German occupation, but each had saved a fow "louis,"" and a tobal of 350 francs was got together.
The old man volunteered to try to guin the Fronah lines with it, in order that it might be sent to the Bank of France. Ho have it exchnged for potes.

Nor has the Russian military hierarchy any reason to feel ashamed. Before the war, no doubt, the Germans enjoyed a vast prestige in Russia, but the result of the prolonged and sanguinary struggle between the forces of the two empires has been to show that the Teuton is not invin- cible, and that the Slay possesses some military qualities which all armies must envy. The advance of the German army for fresh adventures after the exhausting struggle of the last ten weeks cannot lead to decisive events for a long while, dur ing which many military events will occur, and the Russian armies will recuperate and refit.
