ITS CAUSE AND CURE.

THS. HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, – SATURDAY, MARCH 24mm. 1917.

This distressing complaint so common in all hot countries is caused by the Bile overflowing in the Blood. It is not an in dependent disorder but the symptoms of other complaints which cause the Bile to overflow in this manner instead of entering the intestines to perform its mission of aiding in the digestion and assimilation of food. Jaundice causes the skin and eyes to become yellow, and vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in the mouth, flatulence, belch ing and pains in the stomach may all be accompanying symptoms. The disordered condition of the Liver is the most common cause of this complant and a remedy that will reach the Liver is the only effective onc. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills reach the Liver as no other remedy does, speedily causing the Bile to flowy Unable to cat or sleep.

through its proper channel, They get at the cause of the complaint driving the poison out of the blood, and toning the entire system. There is no more effective remedy for this complaint, as a trial will prove, than Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills which are a positive and permanent cure for all Liver and Kidney dis- orders, Constipation, Biliousness, Impure Blood, and Female Ailments.
