V v - The tonio, treatment for Indigestion Is having remarkable success In - curing obstinate oaaes or. that distressing mal ady and deserves sttention from every sufferer, fts principle Is that remedies for Indigestion that digest the food for tne stomach give reller tor only a snort time. - Ultimately .they unlit tne stom ach to do its own proper work, because iney mass its already weak power eiiu weaker by disuse, while the remedy that strengthens the stomach makes It more ana more capable of digesting the rood ior liseir ana tnis benent lasts, a rem edy that la a tonic not only for the stom ach but for the blood and nerves as well, invigorates ths entire system and makes recovery from the weakening effects of inaigestion rapid and thorough. Miss Cynthia Hart of 411 E. Mulberry Street, Lebanon, Ohio, says: "I was a sufferer from stomach trouble for sev eral years and found no relief in doc tors' or other medicines. My appetite was gone, I waa troubled constantly by headaches snd dlssy spells snd was so nervous that I was annoyed and worried by any little noise.' It was almost Im possible to sleep st night snd I wss easily tired out. The least bit of work made me short of breath. I lost in weight and was so run down that I knew I must soon find some help or give up. "While undecided what to do I ran across a newspaper containing a esse like mine cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and at once bousrht a box. There was soon such a decided improvement that I continued uslna the pills snd was entirely cured. The best proof of this Is that I have been well ever since. . I cannot recommend the pills too highly." Sufferers from dyspepsia In any form who have found their condition unre lieved or actually growing worse while using ordinary remedies, would do well to try Or. vVilllsms' Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists or direct by mall, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60c per box; aix boxes, $2.60. A diet book sent free on request to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Bchenectsdy, N.
