IT PAYS TO EAT SLOWLY.
Few people chew their food sufficiently and to this fact is ascribed a good deal" of dyspepsia. The first action of the digestion of food occurs in the mouth—mastication and thei mixing of food with saliva. Too often food enters the stomach in a more or less unbroken state and remains undigested. A famous .London doctor used to bluntly tell his p- tients that the stomach is not a gizzard and resents being put upon. The late Sir Andrew. Clarke made his patients count their bites. He said that every mouthful of animal food required thirty-two bites, and he made them count accordingly. Persons who have beenj careless in their eating or from some other cause are subjects of dyspepsia, should try the tonic treatment for their complaint. They should avoid haste at meal time and take a course of Di*. Williams' Pink Pills tq 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 home. It gives just the information that you want regarding your diet; send a post card to Box 845, G.P.0., Wellington.
