1„T TO DO FOB INDIGESTION. , o

Modern Methods for Treating a Common Comciaint. o Whatever the causes may be, and there appear to be a number, Bndigestion and Stomach Troubles are on the Increase. In treating this troublesome and often painful complaint, the sufferer ought to recognise that there is a cause for it, and try to eliminate the cause. This is the way to obtain a permanent cure. Now the following are facts. A weak stomach cannot digest food properly — hence dyspepsia after mealß. LaiaUves only help to move the meal along, and predtgested Invalid foods do not sive the stomach its own work to do. Therefore, whatever is the cause of a weak stomach. Indigestion and Stomach Trouble will prevail until the stomach is made stronger — strong enough to digest ordinary food without pain or Inconvenience. Acting on this, principle a great many sufferers have been cured of severe indigestion bj- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They supply the stomach with the strength it needs by enriching and purifying the blood. Pure blood gives tone to the nerves, muscles, and glands of the stomach, and makes it capable of properly performing the work of digestion. The following case shows how good they are In stomach trouble. "About four years since I suffered much from flatulence, belehln.es of wind and pain In the stomach, also heartburn and pain about the heart," said Mr W. Rutherford, Wyre-st-, Kaitangata. "I felt a heaviness at the pit of the stomach. My tongue was coated with a whitish substance, and I had a bad taste in my mouth when I woke in the morning. I had a smothering feeling about the heart and great palpitation, also giddiness In the head. My sleep used to be much disturbed. I used to be very despondent and unable to attend to my work, which I had to leave for three months. When I had to give up my work I consulted a local doctor, who prescribed for mc. His medicine did mc no good and he changed it. I then consulted another doctor, bat I derived no benefit from his treatment either. I had been under the doctor's treatment for about 2 or 3 months without deriving any benefit. The doctor ordered mc away for a change. I felt a slight improvement while I was away, but as soon as I returned home again I became as bad as ever. Through reading a pamphlet of cures of complaints similar to mine I decided on giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. I purchased a box from Mr Hltchon, storekeeper, and in about ten days I found they were doing mc good, and I continued their use till I bad used three boxes, when I was cured. Since my cure I have passed a medical examination for admission Into a friendly society." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by chemists and storekeepers, or sent by mail, post paid on receipt of price 3/ per box, 6 boxes 16/6, by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.

A little anecdote about a bishop and 'his bath and a black hair was told by Lord Chelmsford at the Sydney Grammar School Old Boys' dinner. "An episcopal friend of mine m England," said Lord Chelmsford, "was a most particular man. He laid it down especially that no other person should use his bath. This bishop had been away upon a visit. When he came back, he found in the bath a long black 'hair. He summoned his household, and made every inquiry, and at last discovered that the only person with hair of that kind was his cook. So he addressed her. 'Alary,' he said, 'I am very much pained at the idea that you should have 'broken my rule and used my bath. But what has hurt mc even more than that is this: that you should have done behind my 'back what you would never have done before my face!'" It is time to lay aside the hard felt now. The order of the day is the straw boater. Try ours.—Geo. Fowlds Ltd.— (Ad.).
