ABOUT PILLS.

THE BONOKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, MARCH 18T

Many people have no hesitation is taking a dozen bottles of medicine in liquid for prescrihed by u doctor, but view with alarm the suggestion to take a course of pills. This misapprehension is no doubt due to the impression than pilis are merely purgative, which may be correct in some instaIRES. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, however, are not merely purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain more important properties, which correct all disorders of the Blood, Liver and Kidneys, and the Stomach, evidence of which is not wanting. Thousands of testimonials sent us voluntarily and gratuitously verify our statements of what Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills will do and are doing everyday. You will find neighbours, friends and relatives every where who have been restored to health and who can testify to the marvellous hlod-purifying and healing properties of these Pille. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have come to stay. They are an efficicot. reliable and safe remedy, placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. They are sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their wright their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured in Gold," bottles not in cheap wooden or pastebisura boxes--and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do.

DISASTER ΤΟ BRITISH

NAVAL YACHT.

WRECKED AT STORNOWAY.

In the early hours of New Year's Day, just outside the harbour of Stornoway, and within a few yards of their native shore, over 200 Lewis men lost their lives under most. distressing circumstances. Some 500 soldiers and sailors were com- ing to the island on Now Year leave. The numbers were beyond the capacity of the

mail steamer Sheila, and some 200 naval

ratings were being conveyed from Kylo of Lochalah to Stornoway on board his Majesty's yacht foluire, which, in addi- tion, carried a crew of twenty-four.

The ship, which was in the charge of Contander Mason, left Kyly about eight o'clock p.m., an hour ahead of the Sheila. Sbe had un excellent passage across the Minch, with a fair wind from the south. freshening as the voyage proceeded. Be- tween one and two o'clook a.m. she was approaching Stornoway Harbour, the lights on Arnish Point and the beacon off the harbour entrance being quite visible. The passengers were in high spirits, eagerly anticipating their New Year holiday, the first since hostilities ceased. For some reason quite inexplic able, the vessel, instead of turning into proceeded right Stornoway harbour, across the harbour mouth and ran ashore at full spoed near Holin Head. By this time the wind bad increased to the force! of a moc rate gale, and there was a high soa running on the lee shore where the Jolaire bad struck.
