Which brings the kind assurance that

Delighted" says the fish that's gayly

There's a gentle optimism that has

In the city's busy street and where

With welcoming approval you will
hear it's hearty chime:
"Dee-lighted!"
Despite the various cares that keep
men sitting on the lid,
Despite the enemies to public welfare
VINO lie hid,
We're building schools and colleges
and, what is better yet,
We're rearing boys well worthy Of the
knowledge they will get.
The nations in it's May day and its
futures fair and free,
And it's faults are slight when meas
ured 'gainst the benefits we see,
And Uncle Sam is justified in feeling
he should be

NAMES BEST DOCTOR.
MR.. BAYssON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.

Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply Of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor, he
SAYS. ct was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure i'll living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills i'll the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any Of the other
miseries Of dyspeptic, get rid Of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper dict is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
DIR. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure OF constipation.
