about his neck and made the other end
fast to timber overhead.
This done, he rested his weight on
the rope formed and death resulted

Dyspepsia Rightly Cured
 Stays Cured,
Not by Treating the Symp- toms but by Toning Up the Stomach to Do the Work
 Nature Expects of It.

Dyspepsia should not be neglected for by depriving the body of it's prop CT nourishment it grows steadily worse. Neither stimulating medi- eines, which ruin the already weak stomach by making it work beyond its , strength, should be used, nor pre-dl- gested. floods, which do not excite q flow of the digestive fluids and by disuse cause the stomach to become weaker. Nowhere is the tonic treatment with Dr Williams Pink Pills more clearly useful. It's principle is to enable the stomach to do it's own work by building up the blood and giving tone to the nerves. When these are once more re stored to their normal health dyspepsia disappears and the cure is permanent.
 The experience of MT Orlando Pence, of 6S3 Park avenue, Piqua, Ohio, should be read by every one who is suffering with dyspepsia. For ten years MT Pence experimented with doctors and many kinds of medicine without being cured. He was finally urged by a friend to try Dr Williams Pink Pills and after taking few boxes was re- stored to health. He says: ..
 Thirteen years ago l began to have stomach trouble which came on me gradually. My stomach was sore and felt as though there was ball of fire in it. My appetite was irregular and sour.fuids would come up in my throat for food did not digest. l was troubled with dizziness and would see black specks before my eyes. ] suffered from constipation and was a slave to ca thartics.
 "The doctors medicine and all other medicines that l tried did not give me permanent relief and 1 gave up hope of getting we'll. My stomach was al- most worn out taking medicines. Aft CT ten years of suffering took Dr Will Hams Pink Pills upon the advice of a friend and the use of a few boxes com pletely cured me. l am now enjoying good health and am glad to tell others of my cure."
 If you have decided to give Dr Will Hams Pink Pills a trial or if you are still in doubt as to their value in all cases of stomach trouble send to-day for copy of our diet book which is free upon request. .."..
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box ;. six boxes for $2.5O, by the Dr Williams M edieine Company, Schenec- tady, N. Y.
