My appetite was very peor, I felt in general low condition of health. When this minersble rate of things had gone on for soma considerable time I read somewhere about the curative powers of Dr. Williams', Pink Pills and was thus induced. to try them, with the result that after taking two bottles of these Pills I felt much relieved, and alter four bottles I was cared.“

When the barometer falls the load is taken' away and he normal surface in restored.. This means that changes in barometic pressure give rise to changes in-surinen inclination, the ground slopes downwards towards the area of greatest prosaure.
