REGULARITY OF THE BOWELS

The First Line of Defence against III-Health.

Only about one man or woman in a hundred is perfectly healthy. The other 99 have some digestive trouble, and perhaps more than 50 per cent of these could trace their trouble to that prevalent evil-constipation. Its a simple thing of itself, but like many simple things, it may grow and become complicated. Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of the sickness of man, and a large proportion of the sickness of women. Nature often requires a little assistance, and if this assistance is given at the first indication much distress and suffering may be averted. To maintain a healthy system the bowels: should operate at least once every 24 hours. This is one of Nature's wise provisions which is too often ignored, and the result is untold suffering. Women and children are the greatest offenders, but why such should be the case is a problem to be solved. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a remedy which, taken at the first indication, assist Nature to restore the system to health

rid strength, and avert the development of disease. Every ailment is the effort of Nature to get of some impurity in the system, and the object of medical treatment is to assist Nature in doing Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills do this surely and thoroughly. To overcome constipation take one to four Pills regularly until the Bowels move daily, and are restored to healthy action.

The slope was terribly cut up and almost impracticable, but the men were determined to triumph. Their persistence during the twenty-four houra had impressed the enemy, who withdrew from the trenches into the village, which the French entered in the afternoon. Fierce house fighting ensued and four counter attacks were repulsed. The French were finally firmly established in tho muin street, cutting the village in two. The following night two French attacks on the church, which is the centre of the German resistance, failed.
