One peculiarity of Americans upon which visitors from other countries re- mark is the habit of haste. This ex- tends even to eating. Meals are eaten hurriedly and irregularly; food is swal- lowed half masticated and the stomach is unthinkingly neglected and abused to such an extent that nine tenths of our people are dyspeptics. Take the case of Miss Elspeth Davies, of No 14N Town street, Columbus, Ohio. She says: =. .........
 "I had acute indigestion year ago and it became so bad that had to take to my bed with it. The pain was terrible. T could not eat anything without suffering dreadful consequence es and my head ached till thought I would go crazy. My strength failed, I became nervous and was generally miserable. After about four months of unsuccessful doctoring with a local physician, began using Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, Before one box was taken I felt very much better and few boxes restored me to health Now my stomach is in excel lent condition and I can eat without fear of any i'll effects.'' "
 Dr Williams Pink Pills cure stomach | trouble by their tonic action, building up the digestive organs and enabling them to do the work that nature in- tended them to do. Artificial fer. ments and predigested foods weaken the stomach in many cases. Medicines should not do the stomaci.'s work but should put it in condition to perform it's natural functions. A diet book giving useful information will be sent free on request by the Dr Will Hams Medicine Company, Schenecta' dy, N. Y.
 l Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold at fifty cents box ol six boxesf for two dollars and fifty cents, and may be had of all druggists, or di. rect by mail, postpaid, on receipt o1 price.
