SKIN DISEASES

Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS. A person suffering from eruptions of the skin has much to ensure. It is not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life is made miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feel languid and weal. 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 skin in the form of Pimples, Boils and Blotches. External femedies-powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pilla 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 off the impure matter through the regular channels.

The interview, we are told, took place four months after the declaration of war-that is to say, in the early part of December, 1914. Possibly it was just before or just after the victory of Vice Admiral Sturdes off the Falklands, It must have been after the Dreadnought cruisers had played such a decisive part In the action in the Heligoland Bight on August 28th of that year. Anyway, by December, certain lessons of the war had been plainly indicated, lessons which after events only confirm. Prince Henry is represented as saying that he opposed the construction of Dreadnoughts, and asked only for cruisers, mine-layers, and The submarines-especially submarines. German Dreadnoughts, be exclaimed, are fixed at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, nor can the British Dreadnoughts dig them out. At that time, it must be remembered, our Dreadnought fleet was sweeping the North Sea, while the High Sea Fleet was indeed nailed fast to its base "

The German band is now alinost.com pletely exposed, and though there are some good cards in it we are satisfied that ours are better. The Germans have 119 divisions in the West, 40 on the Russian front, and two or three south of the Danube. The Austrians have 70 divisions in all, of which 42 face Russia, and oppose Italy, The Turks have 52 divi sions and the Bulgars a dozen or so. We have 311 hostile divisions against us, but the defeat of the German 119 in the West or of the Austro-ferman 91 on the Russian front, or of any considerable fractions of these two main groups, will bring the rest of the hostile confederation to its knees It remains Er that it is the Gar- mae Army upon which all our other enemics lean for support, and if, from the first, the amateurs of our War Council had recognized that we could conquer all our enemies by conquering one of them, our enterprises would have been singular ly simplified.
