IN the best regulated families the little ills of life will creep in. Some member of the family circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and que or the other will from From these little troubles more time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation. serious complaints arise, and thould therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach; and the necessity of kceping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent. By following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be found quite unnecessary, That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family Medicine is vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience.
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine which "forces the food out of the bo, depriving the stomach of its nourishment and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stomach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive urgans by obtaining the maximum of nutriment from the food which sustains the body and assures good health.
DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLs are an efficient, reliable, and sale remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in ainter-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pastebtard, boses-and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do,
They are a perfect Blood Purifier and

I have myself more than once directed at tention to the rapid decline in the exchange value of the German shilling. For us it is. avry cheering sign, especially as our own credit abroad improving. But we must not read too much meaning into it at pre sent. The immediate cause is that the divi- dends are falling due on such portions of German loads as are held in neutral coun- tries, and Germany is finding some difficulty in producing the money.
Everybody is saying that wo need more. then, but numbers are of no use without good generals. The cry for good generals is common to all the combatanta, but in this country an uneasy feeling is growing that under our present system the best brains do not always get to the top. Why? One answer offered, for what it is worth, is that we need younger generals. On the western roat, at ang rate, the need is now being to some extent supplied When one thinks of Marshal von der Goltz marching into Asia at seventy-two one realises at the same time that youth is not everything and that brains are the chief need if combined with enterprise and force of character
