4 THOROUGH SUCCESS.
a TRIUMPH Won BY THE
TONIC TREATMENT FOR
INDIGESTION.
A Sound Principle-StrengtIlen
the Stomach to Do It's Proper
Work and Permanent Relief
Follows.

Weak digestive organs cannot extract
nourishrnent from food and dispose pro-
perry of the waste products. The evil
cannotsb be permanently cured by the use
of artihcially digested foods for they
simply weaken the organs still more
through disuse. A thorough cure de
mands that they should be supplied with
fresh strength through the blood.
A striking illustration of the sound
ness of this principle is given by the re-
cent cure of Miss May Briggs of No. 7
Alma Place. Rochester. NY.. after her
case had become truly desperate. "A
year ago., says Miss Briggs, 4 was all
run down and l neglected myself in re-
gard to eating. My stomach got in ter
r1ble. shape, SO | could not eat anything
but little dry toast. could not keep
milk down.
During the year I had four doctors
but all failed to. help me and | made UP
my mind l should never be any better.
My friends, too, gave up all hope for
me. | could fairly see the flesh leave me
every day. | had no STRENGTH and was
very pale, and could scarcely drag my
self around the house. | had great sore
ness and fearful cramps in my stomach
and the agony was so great that I could
not sleep at night.
I made up my mind that would
take no more medicine after that which
the doctor had left me was used tip. In
the meantime one of the advertising
books of the Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People was thrown in at my door
I picked it ZIP and read it, and decided
to try the pills but without ever thinking
that they would help me as they have,
because I had taken so much medicine
without benefit.
II began to get relief while was
taking the first box and when | had
taken three boxes l was like new per-
son. My friends began to say, with sur
prise, How well you are looking, and
to ask, What are you taking to make
you look so much better? Dr. Williams
Pink Pills have performed wonders on.
me- l can eat anything now. | am
strong again and entirely cured" These
pills are sold by all druggists throughout
the world.
