DREADFUL HEADACHES

YIELD TO THE CORRECTIVE INFLCtfN'OE OF DR MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS. Many .voraen habitually suffer from Headaches and a General Derangement of the system, which makes life a daily purgatory. If men suffered with Headaches as women do, business would be at a (Standstill. The truth is that Women's Headaches are mostly due to womanly causes. For these ailments Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills are invaluable, as is fully proved by the following ease: — "I can recommend your Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills as a splendid family medicine," Mrs M. Ashford, of 168, Alma Lane, Rockhampton, cays. " For years I was a great (sufferer from Biliousness and Headaches, and- although I took lots of different medicines scarcely a, week passed but what I had a Bilious attack which practically incapacitated me for a day or two. About five years ago I commenced using Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills, and after relieving me of the attack from which I was then suffering, I have had only . one or two slight indication? since. They are our sole family medicine, the effect being as agreeable to the children as myself. I have frequently recommended them, and know of some wonderful cures effected by their use." For women under all conditions and under all circumstances tliey are a safe and reliable medicine. Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills are a perfect Blood Purifier and a positive and permanent cure for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for female Ailments. 11

Club, Denis Horgan won the shot-put with 45ft lOiin; ¥. A. Kogers, the rail© run in 4min 27 3-o.sec ; H. L>- Moore, the pole vault with lift 4Jin ;. H. A. Gidney, of Boston, won the high jump with sft llin ; and R, Ker-r, of Ontario, the 220 yds in 22 2-s*ec. A large crowd was attracted to the London Athletic Club's autumn meeting at Stamford Bridge on September 22 last to witness the appearance ot the amateur champion, A. P. Yeoulnans, in a two-mile walk, in which he attempted to break .ue \yorld's record. t A couple of weeks previously he was I reported to have covered the distance in 12min 53 l-ssec, thereby beating Larner's figures by 18 l-ssec. This, however, has not yet been considered by thb A. A. A., and after Yeoum-an s display a\> Stamford Bridge, the fate of his two-mile record will be in doubt, for he could do no bettsr than 13min 44 4-ssec for the two miles. Yeoumans is twenty-eight years of age, takes a very short stride, and does a deal of shoulder work. He stated, after the race, that he had not been well for tour or five . days, and this, together with the fact that he had some of the best judges in England watching .him, may have accounted for his failure. It is generally agreed, however, that Yeounians' style is perfectly fair. A section of the English Amateur Athletic Association is advocating the elimination of field events from eporte programmes, and the discussion which has followed both verbally and in the sporting Press has had a tendency to : popularise field events to a very marked degree. The principal arguments against hammer-throwing, shot-putting, etc., are that they do not belong to athletic sports at all, but are really a branch or gymnastics ; also, they are out of date. A writer in the "Sportsman " has, however, come- to the rescue of the heavy man's events, and pertinently asks whether hammer-throw-ing, shot-putting, caber-tossing, and the discus do not take precedence over foot racing in the hearts of Scotsmen, Irishmen and Americans. He recalls the days when A. A. Cameron, Alex Munro, James Morrison, Donald Dinnie, Davidson and Johnstone, delighted the spectators with their feats of strength, and. when the running items vrero voted " ikfc " in more senses than one. Says he : — " We do not want to become a race of greyhounds pure ana simple, to the neglect of the bull-dog qualities which have been the nationaJ pride." It is pointed out that the object to be aimed at in athletics generally is the production of the allround model man. This was the ideal which actuated the ancient Greeks, and, although one cannot but admire a Duffey or a Morton covering their 100 yds in 9 4-ssec, or a Shrubb putting ten miies behind him in less than fifty-two minutes, still these men are " peds " only. The man that athletic sports should produce is something more than a runner, and the encouragement of they field events provides the means of developing the modern athlete cf ancient Heltes. There is far too much specialisation now-a-days. A young man knows he can run perhaps. He consequently devotes the whole of Jiis training to. this particular branch of athletics, to the total exclusion of everything else. In some cr.sera he even eschews cycling, as it " makes him slow." As a result of this concentration of energy upon a certain set of muscles, the active life of our athletes is slowly but surer becoming shorter. The system we are working upon is wrong, and the sooner we get back to Nature by insisting upon an allround development of the body the better for all concerned. Encouragement is badly needed for a system of allround championships, similar to thesp in vogue in America. This could be initiated almost at once by the controlling bodies, adding further prizes bo their championship programmes, and in addition to the ordinary single championships, separate points should be given for general as "well as special excellence. Thus, a competitor who might only be a second-class sprinter, jumper and weight-putter might succeed in winning the all-round championship, owing to his general ability as an athlete. This class of man is being entirely neglected by eporis bodies, although he is .deserving of: greater credit and applause than the man whose only recommendation is hat he can run 100 yds in 9 4-seeo. Takfl men like Tom Kiely, who is not >>o.ly good with the fiammer and shot, but is equally at home at the hurdles, leaping and flat events. The American all-round championship, which comprises ten mixed events, has twice been won by Kiely. It is men like Kiely -vho are best entitled to championship aonours, and let us hope that in New Zealand at least they will receive equal oreciit with the more specialist.
