IT PAYS 10, EAT SLOWLY.
Few people chew their food suffi- ! ciently, and to this fact is ascribed ngood deal of dyspepsia. The first action of the digestion of food occurs in the mouth—mastication and the mixing ot food with saliva. Too often food enters tho stomach in a more or less unbroken state, and remains undigested. A famous London doctor used to bluntly tell his patients that tho stomach is not a gizzard, and resents being put upon, ihe iate Sir Andrew Clarke made his patients count their bites. He said that every mouthful of 'animal food, required thirty-two bites, and ho made them count accordingly. Persons who have been careless in their eating or from somo other causo are subject to dyspepsia, should try the tonic treatment for their complaint. They should avoid haste at meal time, and take a courso of Dr Williams' Pink Pills to restore stomach tone. They act directly on the blood:/and the first response from the stomach is a better appetite, freedom from distress after eating, and an increase in ambition and energy generally. Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a stomach tonic and see how* your general health improves. These pills are sold by all medicine dealers. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co. has issued a free book, "What to Eat and How to Eat," that should be in every homo. It gives just the information that yon want regarding your diet; send a oostcard to Box 845, G.P.0., Wellington. 2
