Some member of the family ne or the other will from IN the best regulated families the little ills of life will creep in.

circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and one 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 doctor will be found quite unnecessary. 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.

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 nourishment 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;

DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy 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 medional properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus plways fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping us all liquid medicines do

They crea perfect Blood Pariler and

a positive and per manent cure for Biliousness, Indi- gestion, Constipa- tion, Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for

Mr. Asquith said it would have been better to postpone this matter till the controversy Over past events and responsibility was ended or until after the war, but the manner of the publication of the report, and the pen to which it had been put, rendered it necessary for him to say something immediately, not only in ins own interests and those of his colleagues on the War Council, who included distinguished members of the present Govern- ment, but also in the interests of one who was no longer able to speak for himself Lord Kitchener, men det
