GET RID OF THE GAS
IT is A DISTRESSING SYMPTOMS
OF lNDlGESTlON.>
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable It to
. - .-.- Do lta Work

.
When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls Of the stomach, and causes inter-
ference with other organs, especially
with the action Of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other Ill effects. They
are absorbed by the blood and corrupt il
and so cause aches in remote parts Of
the body and the formation of unhealthy
tissue everywhere. General bodily
weakness and loss of weight result.
The nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment. The tonic used
ought to be one that will agree with the
most delicate stomach.
Miss Minerva O. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: II had a weak stomach
from the time I was little child.
Whenever took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and I would
finally vomit what had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the. upper part Of my
body. For days in succession, I would
have. to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often SO great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells We're very
disagreeable, too.
'sMy doctors medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until I tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills that I found a cure.
| Within three weeks decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belehing
spells were less frequent, the pains
| through my body were not so intense.
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for few weeks longer found
that I was altogether free from the
miseries I had SO long suffered"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will be sent by mail ON re-
ceipt Of price, 80 cents per box, six boxes
for $3.50 Every dyspeptic should read
