INDIGESTION
RIGHTLY CURED
Hy Toning Up the Stomach to do
the Work Nature intends it
Should.
Indigestion should not be neglected
for a moment, for by depriving the
body of its proper nourishmend through
the fond, the trouble grows steadily
worse. Neither should stimulating
medicines, which ruin the already weak
stomach by making it work beyond its
strength, be used; nor predigested
foods, which do not excite a flow of the
digestive fluids, and by disuse eause the
stomach to grow weaker. Nowhere is
the tonic treatment of Dr. Williams'
Pills more clearly useful. The princi-
ple of this treatment is to enable the
stomach to do its own work by building
up the blood and giving tone to the
nerves. When these are once restored
to their normal health indigestion dis-
appears and the cure is permanent.
ere is an experience with this treat-
ment. Mr. John Brenenstal, Calgary,
Alta., says: "For years I was an al-
most constant sufferer from indiges-
tion, and naturally because there was
much nutritious food which I could not
eat owing to the pain and discomfort
which followed, I was becoming much
run down. I tried many medicines but
none of them helped me until I began
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
After taking a few boxes I was much
better and in the course of a couple of
months was quite well, and could eat
any food set before me."
If you are a sufferer from indiges-
tion, or any trouble due to bad blood
or weak nerves, you can begin to cure
yourself to -day by taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Sold by all medicine deal-
ers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Whether possible of enforcement or
not, anti -treating law certainly will
not be enforced. But if it quiets the
mouths of the anti -liquor wing of

perhaps Sir Whitney was pretty wise
after all. --Simcoe Reformer.

to sew, and she had cultivated her ac-
quaintance with a young agriculturist,
and as coon as she placed her affections
she intended to "make hay while the
