A Story From Jamaica.
ONE MANS EXPERIENCE WITH
DYSPEPSIA.
Food Distressed Him-IIis Heart Was In
A Precarious Condition.

tFrom Brooklyn, ~ y, Times)
There is no secret now as to what was the
matter with George l.. Bergen of Jamaica,
l.. /. His friends thought he had gone into
a decline, and possibly, had heart disease.
And no doubt he did; but IL all came from
the dyspepsia, and since that has been
cured, his heart disease has disappeared also.
lie told a reporter Of the Times what cured
him the other day, and his conversation is
repeated here;
"The trouble was with my digestive sys-
TEN and with my heart As a consequence,
for nearly six years / was unable TO enjoy a
meal. TO partake of fresh bread, cakes,
pies, or any kind Of pastry was out of the
question. A small portion of food Of this
character would give me untold agony. So
/ had 90 90 without il. Nv trouble steadily
increased despite all my efforts to check it.
I took all sorts of medicines prescribed by
Physicians, with no perceptibe Abatement
Of the disorder. Finally my heart became
involved, and occasionally / would be dis
turhed with tumultuOus beating and palpi-
tltion. Worse than all, feelings Of oppres-
sion and sutlocation would ensue and some-
times the heart action would be suspended.
/ confess 1 was very much alarmed when
those symptoms manifested themselves aud
80 times 1 lapsed into a state Of utter despair.
" One evening last fall, / noticed IN the
Brooklyn IialcS an account Of q remarkable
cure effected by the use Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. ] was pale and
that fact helped to awaken my Interest in
the announcement, which / read through
carefully. A day or two later similar
narrative appeared with reference to the
pills. the symptoms Of the person cured
being similar TO my own. That settled the
question for me. The next morning Z
procured q box, and before / had taken half
Of them / experienced decided relief L
continued the pills and my improvement
was rapid until now / con eat with impu.
nifty what my appetite suggests, without re-
gard % time or amount, in reason Of course,
and the functional disturbances OF the heart
have disappeared. / have always had heart
trouble, but it has been greatly relieved by
the use of tho Pink Pills. / consider my
self cured Of the stomach trouble. Any one
having the symptoms have described may
take the pills with the utmost confidence of
their bringing relief" Mr.. Bergen is an
active member Of Jamaica Council Royal
Arcanum, an exempt fireman and has been
for many years connected with the hard
ware establishment of James n. Lewis, one
OF the largest mercantile interests on Long
Island.
