It is further guaranteed that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills comply with the regulations of the Department of Health, both as to the standard of purity of the ingredients used in their manufacture and also that they are a good, wholesome remedy for the purposes they are advertised for. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a purely vegetable sugar coated medicinal preparation, carefully compounded by experts, and are manu- factured on the premises under the direct supervision of the proprietors. The care taken in the production of these Pills, is illustrated by the manner in which they are packed. Instead of being put up in cheap wooden boxes-that absorb poisonous and other substances they are packed in glass bottles at o cost of five or six times that of wooden boxes. The extra cost is more than made up in the satisfaction of knowing that the Pills reach the public just as they left the laboratory, unaffected by moisture or climatic changes and free from contamination by contact with any foreign matter.

The principle here is that the character of a vessel is determined by the flag which she is entitled to fly, whereas the natura rule is that the character of the property is determined by the character of its owner The reason for the alteration, no doubt, was that the rules for the registration of the shipping of all nations had become so much more strict that it was assumed every ves sel would possess a national character and that her nationality would be expressed by the flag she flew in other words, that thi character of the owner and the character of the fing would by identical. But this is not always so. Experience has shown that it is necessary to go beyond the antionality of the fag to the nationality of the owner, The new rule, as others hay been shown to be in this war, was open to abuse, and it has been found that his fying the neutral flag were in reality wholly or in part enemy property.
