| Tale of Misfortune and Misery With a
Happy Ending-The World Seemed All
| Dark for While.
A clerks life, ordinarily, is.a very. hum
| drum one with but little variety to the daily
outline. But Mr.. Fred R. Morton, of NossSO
Vesper street, Portland, Me-, had an expe-
rience recently which has made his life now
very happy one. In telling, reporter of
| what he went through, he said:
81 had been suffering with stomach trouble
| for about two years. Every day abOnt ten
| in the morning and three in the afternoon
| became faint and felt SO bad that if / did
not sit down would fall. That sensation
usually lasted for about an hour, and when
| noon came had no appetite for lunch.
81 saw Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People advertised in the daily papers about
year ago and decided to try them. | felt
relief from the first box and after | had
! taken six boxes my disease was cured l
| do not take them now but always keep them
| in the house. | have told my friends what
these pills have done for me and should |
know of any ones being sick as ! was l
should surely recommend Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People"
Mr.. Morton's statement was published
| in the Portland Express, after he had sworn
to it before Marshall H. burlington, a nota-
ry public.
Thousands of people are making serious
and often fatal inroads on their health
every day by hurried eating and only half
mastcating their food. so common has
this practice become in this country and so
apparent are the results that we have been
called nation of dyspeptcs. Because of
the overworked condition of the stomach
which this careless habit causes, the blood
necessarily becomes poor from lack OF the
essentials which go to make good blood,
| aDJ ba bainp Snnnlipd with the
nourishment it needs, gradually becomes
| run down. The organs which are the weak
est from any cause, being supplied only
with impoverished blood, naturally show
| the effects first and, as it is was with
| Mr.. Morton, it is usually the stomach upon
which this lack of nourishment reacts.
| This brings on. first, Indigestion, then dys-
pepsia and other stomach troubles But, if
the blood is made rich with the elements
necessary for the nourshment of the body
the trouble will disappear.
| The most effective remedy in the world in
| cases of this kind is Dr.. Williams Pink
| Pills for Pale People. They act directly on
i the blood and nerves. This makes them
invaluable not only for stomach trodble
but also for such diseases as locomotor
| sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
| headache, the after-etfects of the grip, pal
| pitation of the heart, pale and sallow com
| plexions and all forms of weakness either
in male or female. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
| for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent postpaid on receipt OF price,
| fifty cents box, or six boxes for two dol
| lars and fifty cents (they are never sold in
bulk or by the hundred) by addressing DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, y. Y.
Be sure and get the genuine; substitutes
never cured anybody.
