ABOUT PILLS.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, MARCH 16TH, 1918.

Many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen battles of medicine in liquid form prescribed by a doctor, but view with alarm the auggestion to take a course of pills. This misapprehension is no doubt due to the impression that pills are merely purgative, which may be correct in Bome instances. Dr. Morne's Indian Root Pills, however, are not merely purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain more important properties, which correct alt disorders of the Blood, Liver and Kidney, and the Stomach, evidence of which is not wanting. Thousands of testimonials scat us voluntarily and gratuitously verify our statements of what Dre Morse's Indian Root Pilla will do and are doing every day. You will find neighbours, friends and relatives every where who have been restored to health and who can testify to the murvellous bland-purifying and healing properties of these Pills. Dr. Morse's Indion Root Pille have come to stay. They are an efficient. reliable and sile remedy, placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. They are Bugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles not in cheap wooden or pastehoard 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.

The Chairman reminded members that when peace arrived and they laid down their arms it was for them individually. and for sucieties such as that, to see that the pressure created by their art was not relaxed in time of peace.

It was the wish of the com mitten that the Society's roll of honour should be perpetual and to that end it was suggested that it should be printed from year to year in the antal reports.
