JAUNDICE
ITS CAUSE AND CURE.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, MAY 25TH, 1918,
This distressing complaint so common in all hot countries is caused by the Bile overflowing in the Blood. It is not an in- dependent disorder but the symptoms of other complaints which cause the Bile to overflow in this manner instead of entering the intestines to perform its mission of aiding in the digestion and assimilation of food. Jaundice causes the skin and eyes to become yellow, and vomiting, nausea, diarrhoes, or constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in the mouth, flatulence, belch- ing and pains in the stomach may all be accompanying symptoms. The disordered. condition of the Liver is the most common cause of this complaint and a remedy that will reach the Liver is the only effective one. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills reach the Liver as no other remedy does, speedily causing the Bile to flow through its proper channel. They get at driving the poison out of the blood, and toning the entire system. There is no more effective remedy for this complaint, as a trial will prove, than Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills which are a positive and permanent cure for all Liver and Kidney dis- orders, Constipation, Biliousness, Impure Blood, and Female Ailments.

NEW YORK, May 18th. President Wilson reviewed the Red Cross parade this afternoon, and in the evening he addressed a Red Cross Russ meeting in the Metropolitan Opera House inaugurating a campaign to raise the second hundred million dollars fund for war relief purposes.
Mr. HP. Davidson, Chairman of the Red Cross War Council, who has just returned from a visit to the war zone, in a speech declared that the next few

BRITISH OIL DEPOSITS
LORD COWDBAY'S OFFER. An issue of vist importance to the future of Britain is raised by Lord Cow- dray, head of the great engineering firm of Pearson and Sons, in a letter to the Press. He believes, on the advice of his American expert advisors, that petro leum and natural gas will be found in commercial quantitice beneath the soil of Great Britain. AGA
