A TONIC FOR DYSPEPTICS

When food lies undigested in the
stomach it ferments and gas forms.
This gas distends the stomach and
presses on the heart, causing a. pain
that sometimes arouses fear of heart
trouble. The condition in which gas
forms is caused by low tone of the
digestive organs and lack of rich
red blood resulting in deficient nerve
force. 1t Is a condition that calls for
a tonic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. tonic for
the blood and nerves, have been used
with great success in the treatment of
this form of stomach trouble Cold
baths in the morning followed by brisk
friction with a rough towel will help
as they stimulate the circulation but a
tonic treatment with DR.. Wflliams'
Pink Pills by building up the blood.
restoring the nerve force and making
the stomach able to do its work gives
the most lasting benefit. With their
use the appetite increases, digestion
becomes normal and improvement in
