Indeed this complaint may be regarded as peculiarly an affection of the feminine sex, an ailment common to all women from girlhood to old age. If-mea-suffered from Headaches as women do, business would be at a standstill, but the truth is that a woman's headachic is generally due to womanly causes- Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pilla get at the cause.

CONCLUSIONS...
To sum up the leading features of the new position in 1916:
1. Germany and Austria are practically out of business.
2. Russia, Japan, France, and nations whose sentiment is with the Allies will more largely inter-frade.
The British Oversea Possessions will drawn considerably closer to the Mother-country.
Our trade with our Allies when war broke out was £190,393,000 and with neutral countries approximately £227,808,000 annually, Great Britain's

Germany accounted for 10.4 per cent But that is only a consideration of the position of the United Kingdom, We now have to look at the figures of trade of the United States, France, China, the. South American Republics, and other countries, and having grouped them and looked on their new trade chances from their points of view one discovers a aniversal query: "Why was Germany here? What change and readjustment will her elimination bring?

But the problem is not an elementary one. It is vast in its complexity. The mowa will have to be calculated.
