HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY.

IN the best regulated families the little ills of life will creep in. Some member of the family circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and one or the other will from time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation. From these little troubles more serious complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad, breath, and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach; and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent. By following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a docter will be found quite unneccssary. That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family. Medicine is vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience.

1

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine which forces the food out of the body, depriving the stomach of its nourishmerit and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stomach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive organs by obtaining the maximum of nutriment from the food which sustains the body and assures good health.

DE HORSE'S IXAS ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remédy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unalfected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do.

They are a perfect Blood Pailer and

a positive and per- manant sure for Diliousness, Indi gestion, Constipa-

tion. Hendaches,

Sally Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles. Pilce, Pimpica, Buils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.

After the Russo-Turkish war and before the Burin Conference Russia dictated the peace of San Stefano to Turkey, and in- olated thereby that all the Danubian fort rosss should be demolished and that no warsnips should be allowed to enter the river.

When the Berlin Conference met a few months later all this was reconsidered, and it was agreed that the stipulations of the Treaty of San Stefano might be modified by anything decided by the Berlin Conference. The Powers then instituted Kumania an independent State and the istands of the Danube Dota were placed under ber control.

RUSSIA'S RIGHTS,

It was at this Conference that Russia acquired special rights. Previsions were made. whereby Russia secured complete control of certain branches of the Delta as they pass through her torritory, and in case of differences between the Commis. sioners and territorial Powers it was deo'ded that the European Powers must be consulted. Great dire was also taken to regulate the control of the branches of the Delta passing between Russia and Rumania by meins of a sort of sub committee of the Russian and Rumanian Commissioners.

You see what seemed sheer bad luck was wholly the fault of the gentleman who complained. Can't the same thing be said of many sufferers from Indigestion? They persist in neglecting the warnings Nature gives them. By inattention to the most ordinary safeguards, they allow this complaint to get them into its

grip. Then they whise about their hard luck.

Of course you can't help but feel sorry for the victims of Indigestion. They rise in the morning tired, and are dull and heavy throughout the day. Their tongues are coated. Food neither tempts the appetite, nor has relish when it is caten. Frequently Most meals are succeeded by the distress of stomach or bowel pains.
