A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY.

IN the best regulated families the little ills of life will creep in, Some member of the family circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and one or the other will from From these little troubles more time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation.. serious, complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach; and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent. By following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be found quite unnecessary. That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family Medicine is vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience.
Y
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine which forces the food out of the body, depriving the stomach of its nourishment and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stomach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive organs by obtaining the maximum of nutriment from the food which sustains the body and assures good health.
DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-arated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottle-not in cheap wooden or pisteboard boxes and are thus always fresh, and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines de.
They are a perfect

FREE, TRADE AND SCOTTISH HOME RULE..
Referring to finance and Free Trade; Mr. Asquith remarked that it was the fashion with some people to treat lightly and to minimise the proposals of the sent Government as to imperial prefer ence. That was a mistaken attitude to adopt. They must not treat those pro posals on their face value, which was very. The Brat Small. They were intended to be the :
