Indigestion and stomach trouble are conditions that follow a defec- tive state of the blood, as in anaemla or, after Influenza, or even through lack of healthy exercise and fresh air. Indigestion causes the blood to be deprived of nourishment, so there is a close connection be- twoen a weak stomach and blodleas-

To dispel indigestion, new, good blood is necessary, and it has been repeatedly proved that the rich, red blood created by Dr. Williams' pink pills has a direct influence on the stomach, digestion and nerves. This new blood revives the appetite, :stores the stomach and digestive organs to healthy activity, and steadily imparts strength to those who follow the treatment.

So, if your digestion is weak, atrengthen it now by taking Dr. Williams' pink pilla. All chemista sell them, or post free $1.50 per bottle, $8 for six bottles, from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 60, Klangse Road, Shanghel.
