GREEN OLD AGE
Assured by the Occasional Use of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.
It
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JULY 14′′, 1917.
To reach a green old age and enjoy good health can only be obtained by the care of the system. It is from the little irregularities of the system that the common ailments arise, and nature gives many indications of the approach of these complaints which, if treated at once, may be warded off. Growing old ought not to mean growing weak and feeble. does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who cat with a good appetite und sound digestion. It is of the utmost importance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food, which is the sole source of physics strength. When age brings fecbáness, it is generchy because of the failure to assimilate the nutrition contained in food. To those în declining years who find that Nature responds less readily to the demands made upon her, and who need a mild yet searching remedy to keep their system, in proper working order, there is nothing like Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills:::
They are
