GAS ON THE
STOMACH
The Experience of q Minneapolis
Woman in Finding q Remedy
for Indigestion.

The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous
appetite, some loathe the sight of food.
Often there is a burning sensation in
the stomach and feeling as Of weight
On the chest Sometimes the gas presses
on the heart and leads the sufferer to
think he has heart disease. Sick head
ache is a frequent and distressing synD-
tom. The tonic treatment for stomach
trouble is a comparatively new idea but
it is sound in principle and shows salts
factory results in cases where other
treatment had failed.
Mrs. J. s. Wilder, a saleslady, Of No.
sss Ninth street, S. E, Minneapolis.
Mimi. found no relief from stomach
trouble until she tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills Speaking Of her case, Mrs.
Wilder says;
about four years ago L was suffering
with stomach trouble, which was
brought on by irregular and hurried eat
ing. Twas confined to my bed for three
days at time with headaches due TO
biiiousness. Nv stomach felt as though
there was lump IL ~ auu We edo ON
my stomach gave me awful distress. 1
had severe pains IL my back, nay COM
plexiOn was sallow and l was nervous
and irritable. It made me short Of
breath to go up stairs. In the morning
there would be a brown coating on my
tongue
THE doctor gave me only temporary
relief and after Ihad been sick for a year
1 tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills upon
the advice of a friend. The pills worked
wonders for me. They helped me after
a fair trial and then made a rapid cure.
I can eat a hearty meal now without
distress and can work every day.
always praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and shall never be without them
Sufferers from dyspepsia in any form,
who have found their condition uure-
heved OF actually growing worse while
using ordinary remedies, would do well
