euNtINI•ED NEXT N'EEK.
The Only Cure for
a Weak Stomach.
Indigestion and Similar Troubles Must
be Treated Through the Blood.
Indigestion can he treated in many
ways, bit it can ooh- be cured in one
way-tnrough the blond. Purgatives
cannot cure indigestion. By main
force they move on the food. still in -
digested. That weakens the whole
system, uses up the natural juices and
leaves the stomach and bowels parched
and tote. It is actually a cause of in -
digest ion -not a cure. Orhets try pre-
digested foods and peptonized drugs.
But diugs which digest the food for
the etcutacb teeny weaken its power
and make the trouble chronic. The
digestive organs can never do the work
properly until they are strong enough
to do . , themselves. Nothing can give
the stomach that power but the new,
rich, red blood to abundantly supplied
by 1)r. William.: Pink Pills. 90 the
reason for the success of this medicine
is pain. Nothing can stimulate the
glands and nothing can absorb the
noutisbm.nt from the food but pure
red blood. And Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills surpass all other medicines in
giving that new, rich blood. Miss B.E.
Jobneon, Hemford, N. 8 , says : "For
mouths I was a great sufferer from in-
digestion : food of ant• kind was dis-
tasteful to ane, and alter eating I
would suffer motel:. Naturally I grew
week and wax hilt a shadow of na
former self. i was taking a doctor s
prescription, but it did not help tan in
the least. Then 1 read of a case sim-
ilar to my own cured through the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills sad I de-
cided to try this medicine. By the
time 1 bad taken six oozes the trouble
had entirely disappeared, and I ev,uld
eat heartily of all kipds of food. More
than this I found my general health
greatly improved through the use of
the hills. I ran therefore strongly
recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills
as a eerie for Indigestion."
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine or by mail, post
paid, at bbl cent, a lox or six tx+xes for
