A CURE AT BATH.
More Proof, Near at Hand, OF
the Value of the Tonic
Treatment for StOm-
aCh Trouble.

There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. But when you take
your next meal all your troubles begin
afresh.
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 a 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
Mrs. James n ellis, of No. 8 Tarbox
street, Bath, Maine, found quick relief
in DR.. Williams Pink Pills after seven
years of indigestion. Upon their results
alone DR.. Williams Pink Pills deserve a
thorough trial by every victim of stom-
ach trouble. Mrs ellis related he1
case as follows:
"For seven years was in poor health
owing to stomach trouble. 1t was caused
by oyerwork and grew worse each year.
| had but little appetite and everything
ate distressed me. Twas troubled Will
gas on the stomach. Ny limbs becam,
numb and I would think they vert
going to give out any minute l hac
such dizzy spells that would fall to the
floor. l was also afflicted with terrible
sick headaches and would be so deathly
sick and dizzy that I would be confined
to bed for two or three days. was
greatly run down and lost considerably
in weight.
II took the doctors medicine for ovel
a year. He would help me for time
but l would always get worse again.
Through friend I began using Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. The first few
boxes helped me so that Twas encouraged
to keep up the treatment. When had
taken the pills while became strong
and healthy. My stomach trouble has
been cured and can eat a hearty meal

the election Of 1908 gave little en-
enlargement to the minor parties. The
Socialists total rose from 402.159 to
420,dG4 But this increase was due
entirely to the inclusion Of Ollahoma's
vote of 2l.779 Excluding Oklahoma,
the Socialist ticket had fewer votes
in 1908 chan It had in 1904. The Pro-
hibltfon party also lost q little ground.
The POpnlist vote in 1908 was 2a,10S,
against 113.959 in 1904. The Socialist
