BILIOUSNESS.
There are many causes of this complaint, but they all spring from a disordered Ever which does not properly fulfil its functions, especially in a warm climate, when it becomes sluggish in its action. The bile is turned from ite proper channel, and enters the blood, and the person so affected is demoralised throughout bis entire system.
"They Reach the Liver."
The presence of biliary poison in the blood upsets the entire digestive system, and is the chief, use of sick headaches. It also causes dull pains and uneasiness, in the right side and shoulder blade, a bitter taste in the mouth, sudden dizziness on rising, spots floating before the eyes, furred tongue, had breath, bowels loose one day and constipated the next. All or any of these symptoms may accompany the bilious condition, and while so affected life is scarcely worth living?
DR. MORSE'S, INDIAN ROOT PILLS relieve this trouble speedily. They open the clogged up system, purify the blood, and cleanee the stomach, causing the human mechanism to work smoothly and easily. On the first appearance of billous symptoms a dose of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills should be taken, and much unnecessary suffering will be avoided. These pills are compounded to meet the general requirements of man, woman, and child, and the dose must therefore be regulated to suit each individual constitution, They are a safe and reliable remedy for old and young, weak and strong,
They are a perfect Blood Purifler and a positive and permanent cure for Bilinusness, Indigestion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.

THE KAISERS NARROW ESCAPE
TRIP IN A ZEPPELIN THAT NEARLY ENDED IN DISASTER
The Bourse Gazette contains an interest- ing and circumstantial account of a flight in Zeppelin which nearly cost the Em- peror William his life. It has been offi- cially dered in Germany that his Majesty was zboard the ill-fated Zepplin, but the crew and officers were especially rewarded, according to the Kreigszeitung, for sav ing the Emperor's life during a fight as the front."

It's an awful job getting here. I left London at 8,50 a.m., and did not reach Faris till midnight. I'm told the train sometimes does not get into St. Lazare till three o'clock in the morning.

GERMANY'S FEAR OF THE BLOCKADE.
COUNT REVENTLOW'S ADMISSIONS.

The Deutsche Tageneitung published recently an article by Count Reventlow which rudely disturbs the pretencs that a stiffening of the British blockade would not hurt Germany. Count Reventlow says that England's intentions are, "of course,” a further violation of all international Jaw and ho invites "learned men at last to one of the weapons in the present struggle. understand that "such paper is not He proceeds
