ABOUT PILLS.
Many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen bottles of "medicine in liquid form prescribed by a doctor, but view with alurin the suggestion to take a course of pills. This misapprehension is go doubt due in the impression that pills are merely purgative, which may be correct in some instances. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, however, are not merely purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain more important properties, which correct all disorders of the Blood, Liver and Kidneys, and the Stomach, evidence of which is not wanting. Thousands of testimonials sent us voluntarily and gratu fously verify our statements of what Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills will do and are find neighbours, friends and relatives every-
doing every day. Youred
to health and who can testify to the where who have been marvellous blood-purifying and healing properties of these Pills. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have come to stay. They are an efficient, reliable and wife remedy, placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. They are sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain amber-coloured their full medicinal propertion. They are packed in Goll bottles--not in cheap women or pasteboard hoses and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditione, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do.
