BAD BREATH.
THE TONGUE IS THE INDEX
Your breath is foul. You do not perceive it yourself. You are fiko a person who is always among the oils and varnishes-you get used to what is to many people a most obnoxious smell. It is most disagreeable to those with whom you come in contact. A slight Headache, a Bad Breath, and a Coated Tongue, are the first symptoms of Stomachic Disease. Take time by the forelock and intercept ita germination; arrest the germs ere they develop into disease. A pill in time may save days of suffering. Look at your tongue in the looking glass every night and morning, and if it is at all discoloured, take a couple of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. They will remove the objection- able matter from the stomach, regulate the system, and sweeten the breath, One or two of these pills taken once or twice a week will ensure a well-regulated system, fortified against all disease.

Details of the last heavy counter at tack by the onemy on October 8th to recover Loos and the lost trenches round about recall the spectacular sacrifices of men which marked the earlier German operations on this front.

Its strength shows the dificult nature of the task which now engage our troops, for the new trenches, into which the invaders were forced three weeks ago, are equally intricate and formidable,
HOW THE FRENCH WON THE TRAPEZE.
Describing the fighting in Champagne states that in the German works known, on October 8th, the French Eye-witness owing to their shape, as "The Trapeze," the French troops had not been able to gain a footing.
