THE BLOOD is the LIFE of the FLESH

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills-What they are and what they do. Their Four Principal Ingredients.

It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely: Impurity of the Blood. Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted; and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease te act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN_ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in Nature's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.

One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within.

The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from the lungs by copious spitting.

The third is a DIURETIC, which gives ease and double strength to the Kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.

The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels.

From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely root out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body, which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean.

Dr. Morse's INDIAS Roor Puts are an efficient, reliable, and sile remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugarcoated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties.. They are packed in aunts enrollees ↑ kortes-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard hoses and are thus always Tresh and clean, hipervulis jaar Tunalfected by climate conditions, and do not déterimate by keeping as alt-liquid medicines do.

G. H. Perris, the special correspondent of the Daily Chrmüde, writing from Parly on September 8th, says : ----

The vocabulary of praise of military courage and civilian industry bag, boen exhausted; and yet, while effort and cour. age endure, we must try to represent them afresh in words however feeble or coumonplace. France is striving as England is striving, and she is still in some ways far beyond us in her effort, as in her suffering.

It can, I believe, now be said that every | kind of national energy is concentrated upon the one task. There has been, dur- ing the last few months, some slight political effervescence, and it would not be right to say that every anxiety has

DEEDS OF BELGIUM'S GALLANT ARMY.

The Belgian Government ling dued a compendious history of the first six months of the war in Belgium, aa. set forth in official documents. Leaving asido for the moment other features, it is interesting to consider the role played by the small field army compared with the resistanco offered by the strongly-fortified places. The Bol gian army has been variously estimated, but now, for the first time, wo learn that the actual strength of the heroic little forco was only 93,000 rides, 6,000 sabres, 394 guns, and 192 mitrailleuses--fower than 100,000 all told, to oppose the German Legions!

HISTORY OF A SHELL.

What the British inventors of a cen- tury and more ago did for peaceful in dustry and commerce, Gerinany has secretly prepared for this present Arma- goddon. Even for England, supposed to be yet in the first line of machine dove lopment, it could not be easy to overtake such a lead; much less so for France, which is still largely an agricultural community, and had only women, old men and boys to throw into the creation of new war material;

The account given of the subsequent retreat and the reasons for the taking up of the present line on the Yser are well and clearly told, as well as the ultimate reasons for the last expedient of opening the sluices and thus definitely barring the route to Dunkirk and Calais,

QUEEN IN THE TRENCHES.

·KING ALBERT'S CONBORT UNDER ENEMY'S FIRE.

A telegram from Le Havre published by the Petit Paricien says:-

Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians, the other day visited the first line trenches. The soldiers gave her Majesty an enthú- siastic welcome.

The Queen conversed with several of them, chowing interest in all details of life in the trenches. She walked over six miles along the front At one point a lively cannonads came from the German | 12 lines.

The Queen, without losing for a moment. her sangfroid, was conducted by officers and men to a shelter covered with earth and faggots, where she waited, chatting gally until the rain of shells had ceased. Several of the shel's burst not far from the fragile casemate.
