The bile, which, under certain condi- tions, causes so much distress, is of the greatest value as an antiseptic and cathartic when it is properly handled by the liver. The chief function of the liver seems to be the filtering of bile from the blood, where it acts as a poison, and pouring it into-the intestines, where. it hastens the course of the food mass through the alimentary canal, and by its antiseptic influence prevents fermentation of the food. When you suffer from biliousness and indigestion and have a coated tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, headaches and loss of appetite, you will do swell to look to. the condi. tion of the liver. Other symptoms are wind on the stomach, which causes belching, 4nd the formation of gas, which gives rise to dizziness and pains about the heart. of Because the liver has failed, the food in the alimentary canal is fermenting instead of being digested, looseness and constipation of the bowels" &TtéFnate, the whole diges. tive system is thrown out of order and the blood is poisoned. By immediately 'awakening the action of the liver and bowels, Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills affords relief for this condition most promptly. On this account they are generally recognized 28 the most effective cure for biliougness; liver complaint, indiges. tion, constipation, and the pains and aches which arise from poisons in the blood. «benefits are lasting because this medicine removes the cause of troubls a box, all dealers,.or Edmanson, Bates & Cou, Limited, Do not be talked cee 2 .

'the Kingdom of Grief or Food tl ther Young Hen Fit ow Bois Since the early days of the war, Belgium's need has been eloquently urged throughout Canada, Britain and the United States, and has brought forth truly magnificent responses. The Commission for Relief in Belgium, trusting to the , generous support of the English-speaking world, undertook . the stupendous task feeding some 2,000,000 le--and so far they have succeeded, though the number of destitute has steadily increased. For conditions in Belgium grow worse rather than better | Following up the horrors inflicted during the carly days of conquest, Germany has systematically and: mercilessly bled the country white. . She assumes no responsibility for the lives of the helpless, penniless women, children and old men who. are her victims, and who, but for the Belgian Relief Fund, must have starved by tens of thousands. Those who had a little money at first have paid what they could for the food supplied--but more and more of them are coming to the end of their resources. About three millions are now. entirely, and millions more are partially dependent on the Belgian Relief Commission for their daily bread, Picture'it: to yourself ! Whole communities; including families formerly living in comfort and even'in laxary, are now withost money ----with rio clothing but rags--and with sothing to eat but the daily allowance from the Relief Commission.
