ono up-to-dnto thirst arrontor has In
contemplation a road house half

tho town Is absolutely without flro

liberal application of bottled boor
when tho exploration Mercantile

You boo tho flro would burst tho

The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Somo victims havo a raven
ous appetite, somo loatho tho sight
of food. Often thoro Is af ellng of
weight on tha client, a full feeling In
tho throat. , Sometimes the gas
presses on tho heart and lead tho
Bufferor to think ho hns heart di
sease. Sick headacho Is a frequent
and distressing symptom,
Experience shows - that thdso
troubles vnnlah just ns noon at tho
stomntch Is made strong enough to
dlgou tho food. In othor words, It
needs a tonic that will rouse It to
do tho work of changing tho food
Into nourishment.
A vory deltcato stomach requires
easily digested food btJt naturo
never Intended that tho food should
bo digested before it Is eaten. Tho
stomach must bo strengthened to
perform Us own work and what It
needs Is not food already digested
but a tonic. Tho processes of di
gestion nro controlled by tho blood
nnd nerves, nnd medical sclonco
has produced no better dlgcntlvo
tonic thnn Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Mr. A. J. Illglcy, whose farm Is
near CnBBopo'Is, Mich., nnd whoso
mrfll address is R. l- D. No. 1, that
city, was cured by thoao pills. Ho
says:
"After suffering for several years
with a weak stomach, It becamo so
had about- thro years ago, that I
wnB unnblo to work. I could not cat
without having Intonso pain In my
Blomnch nnd Ijowo'b. Food would
farmont In my atomnch and tho gas
would nearly wauffocato mo. Some
times I would havo to vomit. I had
sick headaches-and dizzy spells, my
eyes would bocomo blurred nnd I
could boo black specki floating be
fore thorn. My henrt palpitated and
I could not Ho on my loft sldo at
all, nnd If I did nt night whon n
sleop It would wako mo up. My
nrniB woro weak nnd Boemod to bo
comp'otoly tired out nnd helpless.
Thoro woro shooting pain In my logs,
which at sometimes wero too weak
to bear mo mp.
"Tho doctor did not help mo, bo
whon I rend about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pllla I mndo up my mind to
try them. I folt po much bottor
nftor taking tho pills nwhllo that I
bought somo moro and wao ontlrely
cured nfter taking only a fow boxes
of them. I havo boen woll and
strong ovor slnco and hone this
stntoment will bo of help to others."
Whllo po promp'y offeotlvo, Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills contain no
