[ Beattie 2. TO KEEP FIT IS OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE Have you ever thought what illhealth costs? Firstly, the loss of earnings—then the inability to maintain a good position—lastly, the handicap which limits the development of physical ’rowth and mei.ta' powers. Remember the millions of pounds illhealth costs, both nationally and individually each year. Unfortunately, it is not within our power to command good health, but having it, we can maintain it, and finding ourselves losing it, In many cases we can stem the tide. For either purpose Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills are unsurpassed. They act on the liver and other digestive organs, regulate the bowels, stimulate the flow of bile, and thus maintain the system in a healthy condition. W II Comstock Co.. Ltd.. Parish Street.
