IT PAYS TO BAT 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 month—mastication and the 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 patients 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 32 bites, and he made them count accordingly .^ " Persons who have been 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 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 Company; 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. If your throat is son and irritable talc* Kjmih, It will give yew relief. .. .■
