More than two years ago, when he was Home Secre- tary, he expressed the opinion that the sathe spirit of mutual accommodation which had animated all parties during the war ought also to prevail during the period of reconstruction following upon peace. Mr. Lloyd George now told them that he had secured such an accommoda tion of parties with a view to carrying a large programme of social and democra tia reform. It might well be that those who in former times had resisted changes of this character in Parliament and in the country, might have undergone a change of view.

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 remedies powders, ointments, lotions only alleviate; they do not get at the cause. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills 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 drive out the impore matter through the bowels.
