BILIOUSNESS.

There are many causes of this complaint, but they all spring from a disordered liver which does not properly fulfil its functions, especially in a warm climate, when it becomes sluggish in its action. The bile is turned from its proper channel, and enters the blood, and the person so affected is demoralised throughout his entire system.

"They Reach the Liver."

The presence of biliary poison in the blood upsets the entire digestive system, and is the chief cause of sick headaches. It also causes dull pains and uneasiness in the right side and shoulder. blade, a bitter taste in the mouth, sudden dizziness on rising, spots floating before the eyes, furred tongue, had breath, bowels loose one day and constipated the next. All or any of these symptoms may accompany the bilious condition, and while so affected life is scarcely worth living,

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills relieve this trouble speedily. They open the clogged up system, purify the blood, and cleanse the stomach, causing the human mechanism to work smoothly and easily. On the first appearance of bilious symptoms a dose of Dr. Morse's Indian Root. Pills- should be talien, and much unnecessary suffering will be avoided. These pilla are compounded to meet the general requirements of man, woman, and child, and the dose must therefore be regulated to suit each individual constitution. They are a safe and reliable remedy for old and young, weak and strong,

They are a perfect Blood Purifler and a positive and permanent cure for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.

Both these people had arrived at the hotel the night before, the tall, lean man had sent his luggage during the after- noon, in charge of a servant, who had registered the name of Macpherson." Late at night, Mr. Macepherson himself tad arrived, explained his identity, and been shown his room.

He lit another cigarette with care, deeply inhaling the thin acrid smoke of the black Japanese tobacco.

He chuckled a little to himself.

His apies certainly are. I have hoot, He seemed lost in thought. did not see, nor did the lift man, whose hand was upon the controlling cord, the puzzled scrutiny of the tall, dark man, the gleam of something like recognition in his eyes.

Но

When the lift came down to the central hall, the Japanese gentleman walked straight out of the hotel into the court- yard. The tall man watched him dis- appear, and then going to the office on the right, looked carefully through the visitor's book. He came across the name of Dr. Onomataro, nodded in a puzzled way to himself, and then strolled away towards the breakfast room.

The Japanese turned out into the Strand. It was a brilliant, sunshiny morning, and the early traffic was in full swing. The shutters of the shops were just being taken down, the motor omnibuses were full of young men and women going to their daily tasks. There was a brightness and freshness in the air which gave Charing Cross an air of almost Continental gaiety.

not the slightest doubt that it is report- ed to him by this time that I am living in Crown Square as usual, pursuing the even tenor of my way. Markino will be seen about, and he will lead my friend day. Not a soul in London will identify Saltus agents a pretty dance during the Dr. Onemataro, of the Hotel Cecil, with me Really, these things are quita simple!"

Again the Marquis smiled to himself, and no disturbing vision carne to him of the lean, dark-haired man with thin lips, who had travelled with him in the lift at the Hotel Cecil.

"Saltus went away last night absolute- ly ignorant of Miss Tracey's disappear- ance. That is a point in my favour. Somotime during the morning the news will certainly be conveyed to him, and lie will recognise my hand. That will force him to show himself. He will probably come rushing back to Town, possibly even endeavouring to bring Arthur Hughes with him in some disguise The Japanese turned down Villiers or other.

were travelling away from the great centres of London activity, so early in the day. The carriage was a smoking one. The neatly dressed little mau, a typical modern Japanese, with nothing markedly out of the ordinary about hin, save perhaps a high and protruding brow, which was half hidden by his hat, but which seemed an indication of somewhat unusual in- tellectuality, lit a thin, straw-coloured cigarette, half closed his eyes, and up. peared to be thinking deeply. The con- stant stoppages, the elang of the gates, and the whirr of the re-started train, disturbed him not at all: his face was a mask of quiet cogitation, and the con- ductor outside, looking through his sliding glass door, remarked how obli- vious to his surroundings the little Jap" seemed to be.

"Thinkin' over some business deal, I'll be bound," said tho conductor to himself, being an intelligent young man who read the newspapers, and who had a high opinion of the commercial astute ness of the Japanese.

Appearances, however, are deceptive, and guesses of this sort, while a pleasant pastime enough, are very rarely accurate. If the worthy conductor of the electric train had known a tithe of the thoughts that were seething and bubbling in that massive skull, his eyes would have started from his head, his throat become hot with

newspaper correspondents and the stupid activities of Scotland Yard. Of course there will be a big hullabaloo in Londen about Miss Tracey's disappearance; but here, again, I score. Directly the news becomes public property, Mrs. Albemarle will relate how she met Miss Tracey at the Empire Skating Rink, and offered to drive her home owing to the fact of having her car ready, and the thick fog that was in the streets. She will relate, and not a soul will doubt her, how sho dropped Miss Tracey at the corner of Grosvenor Street, and then drove on to her own flat. Her chauffeur will corro- borate her. Everyone will think that Muriel Tracey has seized the opportunity, and has gone to join her lover, the oscaped convict, Saltus certainly will not dare to accuse me without any evi- dence; in fact, I am protected at present from any such public attempt in a thou- and myself.

The complacency of his thoughts re- mained with him until the train pulled up at the high open station of Turnham Green, and down below he saw the red- tiled roofs of Bedford. Park clustering among the trees. As be descended from the high level, however, passed under the railway bridge, and turned into Chiswick High Street, a sense of uneasiness came to him. He asked himself a certain ques- tion with some doubt.

A Working Housewife

Nervous Depression, Neuralgia,

Sleeplessness--

A cheerful, bright way of looking at things, a*brisk activity which easily enables ber to do almost as much as two ordinary persons, are some of the immediate benefits Mrs. Parker derived from Phosferine. Like most hard-working mothers, Mrs. Parker never found time to look after berseit, and, as is always the case, suddenly broke down under the strain of endies household activities. Sudden noises caused her to tremble in feeble distress, gloomy fears assailed her, neuralgia and sleeplessness tortured her nerves relentlessly, and it was from this depth of misery. that Phosferine raised Mrs. Parker. That this immediate cffect was achieved by two doses of Phosferine, and Mrs. Parker's cure made permanent by a continuance of the tonic, demonstrates that with the aid of Phoslerine any husband can save his wife from innumerable distresses.

Positively Cured and Prevented.

Mrs. A. Parker, 3, Linden Grove, Nunhead, writes I got into a fearfully low nervous state through working too hard and overtaxing my strength. Any loud noise or a sharp knock at the door would throw me into a state of trembling and helplessness. I was always imagining all kinds of evils, and worrying about trifles. Neuralgia racked me with pain day and night, and prevented me from obtaining any rest. I got so worn and dejected that I could have cried, out of sheer misery. My husband persuaded me at last to take some Phosferine, and the effect was simply marvellous; the pains not only ceased, but I have had no return since. It seemed more like magic than anything else that afewdrops of Phosferine could produce such a change. I kept on with it, and I began to gain strength; the neuralgia disappeared for good, the nervousness; dejection, and worry left me, and now I feel quite well."-Nov. 17, 1911.
