A GREAT

FEMALE MEDICINE

Throughout the many stages of woman's life, from prevish girlhood through womanhood, motherhood, to the declining years of old age, there is no better. milder, or more effective medicul companion to women-folk than Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. They promote a healthy and regular condition, cleansing and restoring the Bowels, Liver and Kidneys, to perfect working order. A few doses occasionally when well, will assure a pure and healthy system. Years ago Pills were the medicine of the poor only. To-day the efficacy of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills to overcome the common ailments and restore health and happiness to sick and ailing women, has convinced not only the working section of the population, but the wives and daughters of the more wealthy, professional and independent classes that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a Great Female Medicine, and are absolutely indispensable to every lady's boudoir. They are a perfect Blood Purifier and a positive and permanent Cure for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation. Headaches, Sallow Com plexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles.

A vivid story of au orang outang hoat in Born, in the course of which four men were killed, one crippled for life, and another seriously injured, is yelated in Surabaya journal.

Charles Mayer, au Australian dealer in' wild animals, having recently arrived in Borneo on a collecting expedition for several European zoos, sei out for the Landak River region with the object of capturing two orang outang which had for some time rendered the adjacent roun try safe for travellers.

Mayer caused the native benters he had engaged to fell all the trees within a radius of about a quarter of a mile of the tree in which the apes. had their abode with the exception of those immediately surrounding. 1, which were only partly

Mayer then began cautiously pronen the apes tree, and after sighting the animals, which were of immense size, he gave his men a prearranged signal, and with a terrific crash the partly lop- ped trees fell to the ground.

A fire of branches was then it unter neath the apes tree, and when the smoke had driven the animals to seek refuge in the topmost limbs some of the untives began felling the tree, while others held in readiness two large nets in which to catch the npes. The tree swayed and fell, and, uttering savage cries, the two animals, their long arms tightly clasping one anther's bodies, came to the ground, and the nets, were throw over them.

The male orang, contriving in release one of his arms, catched the Australian by the leg, and dragged him towards the nët. Mayer defended himself with an axe, but his leg was broken before his men could, come to his assistance and divert. the attack by belabouring the ape with a club. The animal then released his hold of Mayer, and seized one of the natives, who was killed before any one coal mine to his assistance. Á second native also fell a victim to the fury of the animal, and while efforts were being made to release him the female orang. released har Arns from the net, and killed two men and crippled a third.
