HAT CAUSES miGESTlOU A P o p u la r Fa l la cy Exploded.


Indigestion is generally atirilmied to


overeating, an uicuitahle dii't, or taulty imn^- tieation. The.-(*, however, are only comri- hutory caiise.s; behind them all lies the primary cause— thin, iiiuiovi’i'islu'd blood. It is now a recognised medical faej. that with­ out guild blood, perfect- digc>tiou is imj)oss- ihlc. To c.vercome indigestion, iherelore. you must- enrich your blood, 'fhen* is no (piicki'i’ or hcHi*r wav to do this than to take Dr. AYilliams’ pink pills; the.se pills create new. rich blood, which soon restore.s the digestive organs healthy activity. Many have proved this by actual experience,


including Mrs. 'S\. Bayhonhl. o f ’J5. Newcastle Slreet. Silvcrdah*. Stall’s, who states: ‘’ for si.x years I. suffered agonising pains trom acutt* indigt'stion.


'I’he torim*nt- w.as nigh

after remedv io no ofl’oet-. “ Then I tried Dr, NYilliams’ pink pills,


and the first, box brought me some relief. 1 continued with the pills, and gradniilly the pains became lo.ss acute. Soon I was able to enjoy my meals without any doprossing aftor-eiroets. Kour boxes of Dr. Williams’ pink pills completely banished niy iiidigcs-
