THE BLOOD is the LIFE of the FLESH

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills-What they are and

what they do. Their Four Principal Ingredients.

#

It is an established fact that all diseases, spring from one source, namely: Impurity of the Blood. Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted; and if Nature' is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S 'INDIAN ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in Nature's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.

One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within.

The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from the lungs by copious spitting.

The third is a DIURETIC, which gives ease and double strength to the Kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.

The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels.

From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely root out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body, which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean.

De. Mom's INDIAN Root Pitts are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pdis bang sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-colored hatten wat in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to inv:sture, unaffected by di mat e conditionis, and do not deteriorate by keeping us all liquid incdicines do.

I fear that the answer to this question is that as long as the submarine remains a weapon of war we must continue in grave danger.

POSSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPMENT.

At the present time the comparative merits of damped and continuous waves for wireless transmission eru being earnestly discussed, and it appears to be generally believed that in the future con tinuous wave systems are likely to prove more satisfactory. special difficul

This opens up the question of the futura control of radio-telegraphy, and the posi tion of the amateur and others who may wish to use apparatus occasionally is evidently neccesary to limit as much as possible the number of stations licensed for transmission purposes, and one can not doubt that the Governments of all

countries will exercise a much alricter control in this respect when private in- dividuals are again permitted to use up. paratus.

Purposeless disturbance of the ether is or will be a public nuisance, and must be repressed. Apart from stations dealing with boat and aerial and Press services, the only places needing trans mitting licenses are educational institu tions and places where bora fide espuri- mental work is being carried on. This limitation refers. only to places where important traffic might otherwise be in terfered with. The question unly is an- other matter altogether.

Appeal

Bigger and bigger submarines, more and more powerful mines would succeed each other in rapid succession, Every year would see the conception and development of improvements in sub- warige attack and submarine defence. It is a thing of limitless possibilities. Mer chant craft, of course, would have to undergo special modifications. They would probably have to become submers ible, and therefore much dearer to build and to man. That would mean high freights and dearer commodities.

It is a terrible abuse of the good gifte of intellect to make them serve so cruel a purpose.
