ABOUT PILLS.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, MARCH 8TH,
Many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen bottles of medicine in liquid form prescribed by a doctor, but view with alarm the suggestion to take a course of pilla. This misapprehension is no doubt due to the impression that pills are merely purgative, which may be correct in Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, however, are some instances. not merely purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain more important properties, which correct all disorders of the Blood, Liver and Kidneys, ad the Stomach, evidence of which is not wanting. Thousands of testimonials sent us voluntarily and gratuitously verify Our statements of what Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills will do and are You will And neighbours, friends and relatives every. doing every day
Dr. where who have been reatored to health and who can testify to the marvellous blood-purifying and healing properties of these Pills. Morse's Indian Root Pills have come to stay. They are an efficient, reliable and safe remedy, placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. They are sugar coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They ner packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and ure thus always fresh and clent, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do.

HEARTLESS MONARCH.
Although I enjoyed for years the con- fidence of many eminent German men, 1 hardly ever met one who had a kindly word of praise or honest admiration for the Emperor. From the year 1881, when Prince Bismarck honoured me with his friendship and gave me the key to the Emperor's character as a superficial person without a heart, I have followed his sinister career with an all-absorbing
