JAUNDICE

ITS CAUSE AND CURE. ·

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 rymptunts 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, diarrhoea, or constipation, loss of appetite, bad, taste in the mouth, flatulence, beich- 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 docs, speedily causing the Bile to flow Uncle to eat or sleep,

through its proper channel. They get at the cause of the complaint 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.

Sport and the Woman. By Campbell, Raf BROWN. London: Jolin Long, Ltd.

This is n decidedly modern novel. It is a picture of to-day, end though it follows the conventional style, it possesses a vigour which is quite distinctive. In this story the holl bad persons are not incorrigible, and the last page is reached with the hore and heroine happily united and the wicked characters so much refined that they are abast lovable. This "sporting" element in the book is well presented and is indeed its most attractive feature.

It is a compliment to the authoress that she compels the reader by the powerful manner in which she tells her story to sympathise with two ladies-we could hardly "live on their call them heroines-who wits."

We, in the East, are in a position to apprecinte -this-story, especially those of us who have seen Japan and know something of its witelary and fascination. In this [story this hero very unheroically leares his sweetheart in England, goes to Japan in the interests of silk, and comes under the spell of the country to such an estent that he takes a Japanese girl to we and be comes a naturalised subject of Dai Nippon. His English sweetheart, having been forced by circumstances into an uncongenial mar riage, divorces her husband, and finally visits Japan in the hope of seeing the forer of her youth, of whom she is as fond as ever. The author makes his reader feel the spell of the lotos,' The heroine's visit to Japan awakens old desires in her lover, the mate so that his Japanese wife has passed from youth to old age in the short space of ton years, and an exciting straggle between the various parties to retain their hold on the hero ends in his leaving the Islamd Kingdom with his first love. Purista may find it hard to approve of the ass's action in deserting his wife and children, but the race instiurt and knowledge of the East will agree that no other whition was possible in the cir- cumstances,

This is one of the best novels which has reached our hands in vicent years. It is powerfully written, und, unlike the andern novel, does not attempt the spicy. In the best sense of the word it is a good book. * Anna Strelitz" deals with certain aspects of Jewish life and character, showing the tendency of the modern Jews to depart from

a religion which they love ceased to under- stand. The heroine is a dewess, who has become converted to Christianity. She falls in love with Henri Lion, a Jewish journalist, who in seeking for the truth is found by her in a frame of mind which is decidedly agnostic.

However, fearing that her love

The Spindle. By Elizaberu Handes, Lon-

don: Jolin Long, Ltd.

This is a book with a hero and heroine, with the heroine, Clemency O'Flinn, the bigger hera of the two. Her nuselfish life and final supreme sagrifies fills the render with admiration and sympathy, and one lays aside the hook almost with a sigh. Incident ally, the story tells the habits and customs of the people of Barnister, a sleepy scaboard town which to the reader, nevertheless, seams wide-awake enough at times as deriouement follows tonouement, The author writes with a pen dipped in satiro when she leseribes the "society " of Barnister, of which the Duke of Marlaraile is the head. Altogether the book is distinctly readable, and may be classed as one of the best novels of the season.

Not even the reputation of the author of "The Mystery of a Hansom Cabis staffi cient to carry to success this very mediocre story Unconvincing characters, impossible

for the ingenuity of the plot. We cannot believe that the British authorities could have been in ignorance of the double identity of Paul Merker, and while the author-makes- a good point in sraphasising the "white- ness of the black man and the "black-

of the white, we find it difficult to nccept either as true to life. Readers who are fond of crude thrills may find a pleasure in following the fortunes of the blue talise man, but we must confess we found the story somewhat tiresome.
