TONIC TREATMENT FOR INDIGESTION Remedies That Digest the food Will Not Cure the Trouble - The Stomach Must be fitted te do Nature's Work. The tonic treatment for huligestion, dyspepsia, catarrh of the stamen and gastritis is having remerkable•success in miring obstinate eases, and deserves at- tention from every sufferer. Its principal is that remedies for indigestion that digest the food for the stomach give relief for only a short time. Ultimately they unfit the stomach to do its own proper work, because they make its already weak powers still weaker by disuse, while the remedy•that strengthens the stonmeh makes it cap- able of digesttng the food for itself, and this benefit is lastiug. A remedy that Is not only a tonic for the stomach, but for the blood and nerves as well, in vigorates the entire system and makes recovery from the paipful, weakening effects of indigestion Tepid and thor- ough. Every sufferer from indigestion will find in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills just the tonic needed, as they enrich the blood, tone the stomach and thus en- able it to do the :work nature intended It should do. This has been proved in thousands of cams, and it is worth the while of every sufferer from stomach trouble to give Dr. WilliantsPink Pills a fair trial, Mr. Edward Chatterton, Campbellton, N. B,, says: "I have been a great sufferer from indigestion and stomach trouble, and although I had treatment from several doctors, I did not find a cum -until I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I can hardly de- scribe how much I suffered at times. Every meal brought with it more or lees agony, and I seemed to have a complete distaste for food, I had al- most began to think my ease incurable when I came across a pamphlet adver- tising Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided: to give them a trial. I am very thankful that I did so, for I had not been taking the Nile long before I found them helping me, and in six weeks every symptom of the trouble had vanished. I can now eat heartily almost any kind of food, and no longer experience pain and disconefort'after eating." IR is because Dr. Williams kink Pine make new, rielt blood that they cure such troubles as indigestion, rheuma- tism, neuralgia, headaches and rack - smiles, St. Vitus' dance, and other forms of nerve teoubles. They cure the irreg- ularities of girlhood and wemenhood, and bring ease, comfort and health to sufferers.

This season has seen trade in good drivers and fancy horses of all kinds rather quiet.
