SKIN DISEASES
Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties
of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS.
A person suffering from cruptions of the skin has much to endure. It is not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life is nade miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feel languid and weak. The disease is in the blood, and when the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature asserts herself, and forces portions of the impurities through the altin in the form of Pimples, Boils and Blotches. External remedies-powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause by removing the disease from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which filter the Blood and throw of the impure matter through the regular channels.

That brings to mind the optimistic speech of the Premier on the question of foodstuffs, and his refusal to corner the supplies and fix maximum prices. No doubt ho is right as to that, but it is by no means certain that unscrupulous persons are not making fortunes out of the hard times of consumers. What softens the situation is the fact that there is no lack of work for most worker and they are making higher money than normally, so they can pay for their eup plies without any grave difference over normal times.
