BILIOUSNESS.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, BIAY
There are many causes of this complaint, but they all spring from a disordered liver which does not properly fuißl its functions, especially in a warm climate, when it becomes sluggish in its action, The bile is turned from its proper charme, and enters the blood, and the person so affected is demoralised throughout his enture system.
"They Reach the Liver."
The presence of biliary poison in the blood upsets the entire digestive systent, and is the chief cause of sick headaches. It also causes dull pains. and uncasiness in the right side and shoulder blade, a bitter taste in the mouth, sudden dizziness on rising, spots Hnating before the eyes, furred tongue, bad breathi, bowels loose one day and All or any of these constipated the next. symptoms may accompany the bilious condition, and while so affected life is scarcely worth livinge
Dig, Mouse's Irmas Rob Puis relieve this trouble speedily. They open the clogged, up system, purify the blood, and cleanse the stomach, causing the human mechapism to work smooth's and easily. On the first appearance of bilious symptoms a dose of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills should be taken, and much unnecessary suffering will be avoided. These pilla are compounded to meet the general requirements of nian, 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 Purifier and a positive and permanent cure for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.

As distinguished from the strategical position, which means the disposition of the enemy's forces, the tactical position means their strength relatively to the forces opposed to them. It is a lending principal of German tactics that where a defensive has to be carried on, as on the wost, a second line of battle should be kept for attack It was that second line of battle which last year was used against Verdun and destroyed. We can appreciate, therefore, what it signified when just at that conjuncture the first line, attacked on the Somme, suffered as it has been proved that it did.
The upshot is this. To begin with and before any improvement of the strategical position can even come into sight, the tastical position bas to be restored. That is to say, all these losses must somehow be made good--the second line of battle re-formed and the first restored at least to the strength of last July, at least that, because the first line has not proved strong enough.
