A GREAT DEBT PAID.

WORK AND WAGES.

AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW. An unpaid debt is a thing to avoid. There is sense of insecurity whilst . the shadoiv of a debt overhangs .one. There are, however, various kinds of debts. Legal 'debts, debts of honour, and debts of gratitude. Mr- Christopher Hannan, of Spring Gully,Vict'oria, has just repaid such a debt. Moreover, in order that there should be no misconception in tho minds of anyone that what bo says is- not fact, absolute and sure, his statements have been confirmed by his two close neighbours, Messrs Andrew Hannan and John M’Lennafi. Mr Christopher Hannan, writing to the proprietor! l of Dr Morse’s Indian Root •Pills, savs, “I will do: my best to repay what I think is> a great debt I owe you. Five yearsr ago I- was taken very ill. So bad did I become that for over four years I could nottfollow my occupation. A doctor in Bendigo said that I could never hope to ■ work again. I was weary, worn-out and completely debilitated. The doctor salid it was an acute attack of rheumatism. Try what medicine 1 chose nothing gave ■me relief, and I settled down, thinking that the rest of my days would be a life of misc-rv. Luckily . for me, though,.Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills were brought to mv notice. The first bottle made a vast difference in me, and the second completely cured me. This happened twelve months jvgo, and not once since, in all that time, have I been, visited with the slightest signs of my old complaints. It- is, therefore, evident, that I am.as completely,and permanently cured as a man-could wish to he. Several people in my neighbourhood can confirm every word of this. To-day I am a- healthy man, with all the p’lea'-Hires that such a‘state brings in its train, and my cure is due solely to Dr Morsels Indian Root Pills.” Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills are a perfect blood purifier,, and a positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, headaches, sallow complexion, liver and kidney troubles, piles, pimples and 'blotches, and for female ailments. Put up in amber bottles and the full name blown thereon. , ?
