RISKS

of

Indigestion

Most people nowadays realise what an important part the diges- tion plays in relation to our health. When the digestion goes wrong, the whole system rapidly becomes disorganised. We fail to get proper nourishment from the food we eat because we cannot digest it, and food that lies undigested on the stomach quickly ferments and poisons the system. Flatulence, waterbrash and other unpleasant symptoms follow.

It should be remembered that the stomach, nerves and glands all depend on the blood, and when that gets impoverished, they are at once weakened.. Nothing will more promptly and surely restore the digestion organs to healthy activity than new good blood.

It is because of their action in building up and enriching the blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved successful in so many cases of indigestion where ordinary medicines have failed. The new, rich blood made by these pil's soon tones up the digestive organs: then the appetite improves, and you are able to eat with comfort and get full be- nefit from your food.
