TRIALS OF INDIGESTION
Errors About This Trouble Into
Whi;;h People l+'itll.
Many people so far ntisultderstend
the digestive system as to treat it
like a machine; neglecting it until it
works sluggishly, then irritating it in- .
to work again by the use of p tirgatives,
The stomach needs help at all times, I
but a study of the process of diges-
_Lien will show that purgatives, as cem-
ptoniy taken, .are seldom necessary
and often harmful.
To safeguard your digestion} he diet}
must be controlled, Over -e ; is die t
ways harmful, but one must assimilate'
enough food to supply the.needs of the
blood. Remember, the -blood • hasto
carry nourishment to all parts of the
body and And fuel for its energy.
Hence when the blood becomes weak
and fails to do its work, indigestion
arises. Therefore the sure remedy for
indigestion is to build up the blood.
If you>•suffer from any force of indiges-
tIon choose your diet carefully and
take wholesome nourishment. Above
all, start builcling .up your blood by
taking a course of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Then ander the influenoe of the
new blood supply, your digestive sys-
tem will respond naturally, your appe-
tite improve and ydur food will do you I
good. So begin to improve your diges-
tion by starting to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills now.

NIVEN.
Variation ---MacNiven,
Racial Origin—Scottish'.
Source. --A sobriquet,
and Their Ong —_...
The name of Niven appears to be ex-
elusively a Scotti'slt cite. It is found
so infrequently in Ireland as to make
it certain that it does appear there
' only as the result of the chance settle -
trent there of a Scottish family now
and then.
On the other hand it le a family
name which has existed for a long
time in Scotland, being borne by septs,
or branches, of three of the foremost
clans of that country, the Clan Cum-
ming, the Clan Macintosh (or Mackin-
toslt and the Clan MacNaugliton.
These septs, or subdivisions of clans,
were formed in Scotland in much the
am° manner that they were in Ire -
and, by some famous member of the
Ian, other than its leader, establish -
ng his own organization of followers,
ho, together with the members of his
amily, would adopt his name in addi-
on to that of the big clan.
The family name of Niven is a de-
elopinent of the Gaelic "Gille-naomh"
r Naoim1iein" (the latter being p3o
ounced very much like Niven), mean-
ing sons or followers :of the saint, Ap-
parently there were at various times
in each of the three clans mentioned,
men famous enough both for their
ability as leaders and for their sanc-
tity to bear the sobriquet of "The
Saint" and to establish septs of their

Variations-o'Quinri, MaoQulnn, Mac-

Raelal Origin -Irish,
Source ---A given name,
The correct Irish spelling of title
fancily or clan name is either "Mac-
C'uhlnor 'Cn." reIs no "q"
in the" Irish" lOanguinuage. The
It shonld be noted, too, that one
variation ,of this family, name, Mac-
Quet>.n, is not to be confused with the
Iligi11 ,i 1 Scottish name spelled the
carne way, the origin of which has been
explained In a previous article.
MacQueen is but an Anglicized form
of 1\iaccuinn, in which the word
"queen" has been adopted, owing to
the similarity of sound, but with no
regard for tite cneaning.
The "Claim MacQuinn" held the tet
ritory known as "Muintir Giliegain" 1
what is now Coruty Longford.
As nearly as can be estimated from
the Irish historical records, which ar
as to genealogy, but often
-neglectful of dates, forcing the re
searcher to the eoncparative method
of filling then! in, the chieftain Conn
who founded this diarticular elan, lived
about the year 1200.
Though you would not suspect it if
you did net know the peculiar method
by which some of the Irish nouns are
declined, "Cuinn" is but the genitive
case of the given name "Conn" (the
meaning of which is "wisdom"), one
which is frequently met with in the
pages oi' Irish history.
