DREADFUL ECZEMA

Cured by Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

That torturing and disfiguring disease has its cause m an impure condition of the blood. The impure condition of the blood often arises from a diseased condition of the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. When digestion is imperfect the nutrition of the body is inadequate to its needs. The blood becomes thin, poisons accumulate in it, and these poisons often manifest themselves in some eruptive. disease. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure diseases of the stomach, and other organs of digestion and nutrition. They climinate poisonous substances from the blood, purifying it, and increasing its quality and richness. They get at the cause and cure. perfectly diseases of the blood, and other complaints which originate in a disordered stomach

THE CROWN PRINCE.

I WANT WAR."

Mr. laa. Malcolm, M.P., has published a volume of war pictures, which includes an extract from his diary relating to an interview in Berlin in January, 1914, with the Crown Prince, who suggested that England and Germany ought to be better friends; but it was impossible while the British were friends with such people as the French and Russians.

Ministry of Munitions has actually got into its stride.

In Mr. Lloyd George's own words, he has built up the depart rent gradually, got the right men (or at least some of them), and established the business side of the tremendous under- taking.
