Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air,
baths and good habits make your d.
gestion better able to take care of any
burdens you impose upon It, But the
greatest aid to good digestion is good
blood. Anaemia, or thin blood, is a
common cause of indigestion. Normal
action of the stomach Is impossible
without healthy, well-oxidized blood.
Dyspepsia which does not yield to
ordinary treatment may be quickly
corrected when the blood is enriched
Many people have secured relief from
chronic forms of indigestion by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills which
make the blood rich and red, capable
of carrying an increased amount of
oxygen, the great supporter of human
life.
Have you ever seriously considered
giving DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial
to tone up your digestion increase
your vitality and make life better
worth living, If your blood is thin
and your digestion weak you certainly
need them. Send for a diet book. It
