NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS
W. H. Camp Tells of the Remarkable Success of Pepsikola Tablets in Re. lieying Indigestion.

After selling all kinds of remedies for dyspepsia and indigestion we can truth full say that we never knew anything to give such universal satisfaction as Pepsikola Tablets. They not only aid digestion but they act as grand nerve tonic as well. Many people who. have not enjoyed good meal for years now say that after using one or two 25 cent boxes of these little tablets they felt as if they could eat horse and digest it too.
 w. H. Camp has been recommending this grand dyspepsia remedy for nearly two years now, and from actual ex- perience knows there is no other remedy so sure to relieve sour stomach, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue. palpitation, sleeplessness, wind belching, and other distressing symptoms of indigestion. And Pepsikola Tablets must cure you or there is nothing to pay. They will re. new your energy, steady your nerves, regulate the action of your heart, im- prove your appetite, put new life in your stomach, and will do more to tone up and improve your general health than anything you ever heard of.

Treea That Enrnl IaIanda.

In the course OF great rivers, islands
are generally formed by the stranding
OF trees, shrubs. plants and such things
brought down by the current. In the
Mackenzie river of Canada the whole
process of island making In this way can
be easily observed. Trees borne down
from the banks by the undermining ac-
ton Of the current usually retain con-
siderable mass OF earth and stones en-
tangled In their roots. They, therefore
readily sink. and by doing so form con
siderable shoals, which time converts
into regular vegetable islands. Then a
thicket of small willows covers the
newly formed land and their hbrous
roots serve 10 bind the whole firmly to-
gether. A peaty soil Is formed by the
gradual decay Of the vegetation. inelud-
ing the trunks OF the trees. and on this
many new varieties OF plants spring
up. Sometimes the island clears its
mornings and floats away down stream
until 1t Is again arrested by an obsta-
Gle, or 1t may become in sense water
logged and subside close to the bottom.
In this latter case it often gets covered
over with mud and sand. which form
new and more permanent land sur

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fall. Physi-
cal strength Is derived from food. II
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies Food Is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten Is digested and assmilated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and Its associate organs OF digestion and
nutrition do not perform tbeir duty.
Thus the stomach l. really the vital or
gan Of the body. II the stomach Is weak
the body will be weak also, because 1t Is
upon the stomach the body relies for It's
strength. And as tho body, considered a.
a whole, Is made up Of It's several men,
bers and organs, so the weakness OF the
body as q consequence OF weak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. II the
body Is weak because 1t Is ill-nourlshed
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliOusness, loss OF appetite
weak nerves, feeble or Irregular action OF
heart palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
Mr.. Louis Pare. OF Quebec writes; rFor
years sftor my health began to fall, my head

NEURALGIA CURED
PATIENT GIVES ALL THE CREDIT
TO DR.WILLlAMS' PINK PILLS.
Disease Had Attacked the Heart and
Would Doubtless Have Been
Fatal Had Right Remedy
Not Been Taken.

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills will cure
neuralgia there Is no room to doubt So
many severe cases of this painful dis
ease have yielded to these pills that the
sufferer who is prevented by prejudice
from trying the remedy deserves little
sympathy.
Mrs. Charles Schultz, of 179 Thomas
street, Newark, N. j., suffered for seven
years with neuralgia which attacked
her heart apd which did not yield to the
usual remedies. The story of the cure
is best told in her own words. She says:
Il had scarlet fever and it left me
with weak heart Then | took cold
and severe pain settled in the region
Of my heart. My suffering was almost
beyond description. l could not talk
and the pain caught me at every breath.
The awful pains would come on sud-
denly and 1 would have to sit right
down. l could not walk and would get
dizzy for a time.
I" I was confined to bed for four weeks
at one time and nothing seemed to do
me any good. Twas under physician s
care for months. He pronounced my
trouble neuralgia of the heart and pre-
scribed for me. The capsules he gave
me relieved me for time but the pain
came back again.
" Finally DIR. Williams Pink Pills
were recommended to me by lady
whose husband had been cured OF
paralysis by them and l decided to give
the pills good trial. While l was on
the second box l began to see an i'm
proyement, the pains became less fire.
quent and ut last l was entirely cured.
This was some time ago but | have had
no relapse and have been i'll good health
ever since. think there Is no medicine
to equal DR. Williams Pink Pills
These pills actually make new blood
which carries to the starved nerves the
elements they need They contain not
one particle of opate, morphine, cocaine
or anything soothing They cure
troubled nerves by removing the cause
Of the trouble.
Sold by all druggists or sent postpaid
ON receipt of price, 80 cents per box; six
boxes 81 so, by the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co. Schenectady, n. Y.
