The facts of Mr. Cox's remarkable restoration to health on related by him two years ago sro, briefly, these. After my severe illness from Franmoaia and Malarial Fever some years ago I was so weak that I could harally crawl," said he. I was a bag of bones almost, could eat scarosly anything, used to stagger like dronken man when I got upon my legs, and my when I went out. I suffered greatly from headaches and dizziness, the least exertion left me palpitating and exhausted.

"The prospect for the future looked blatk in. deed when at last a friend recommended me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People I commenced taking the l'ills and almost as once felt sa improvement. I rapidly gained strength and flesh, my sppetite improved. I no longer felt dizzy or suffered with headaches, and I continued to progress in this way, regaining health and vigour every day, until at last I found myself as healthy and robust as ever I had been in my life."

The excessive weakness and other troubles with which Mr. Cox was afflicted were due to the impoveriabod state of his blood, brought about by his severe illness. It is because they are the greatest Blood Tonic known to Medical Science that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored his strength and ballt up his system in so marvellous a-manner as to enable him to resume work again no ordinary thing considering his advanced

ACTS LIKE A BURGLAR!

INDIGESTION

ROBS YOU OF SUPPORT. Indigestion is like a burglar in the body. It robs you of that which you need for your own What is more, the support and comfort. hurglar is often practically an invited guest. We often allow Indigestion to enter our systems through shear carelessness.

COEM-

We eat too much or we eat too little. We sat food that we like but which doen, not like us. We eat too quickly, generally, because we hate to do so in these active, busy times. We mit many errors of diet, and Mr. Indigestion takes na of our guard, one day. Then wo know what real misery is. The food we eat does us little or no good. Sometimes pro camet eron eat the fool necessary to sustain and invigorate us. We grow depressed, irritable, nervous, melancholic, lethargio, world-weary. What is to be done?

Don't try to enre Indigestion by starving yourself, as some may advise you to do. Don't become a food faddist, and limit yourself to any one special kind of food. Don't trying the no- breakfast or any other meal-saving remedy: Keep your stomach tissues strong by eating Food, nourishing food, and by taking Mother Beigel's Syrup to help you to digest it.

Indigestion with all its accompanying disorders-constipation, bilionsness, flatulenco, heartbarn, unuses, diszintes, liver complaint arises from a weakened stomach. The stomach, belag weak, is unable to perform its duties well, becomes charged with poiserous acids, fluids, and gases, and ferments. These force them selves into recognition, at the weakest point, by symptoms of pain or discomfort. Seigel's Syrup cures all digestive disorders, by removing the cause and strengthening the stomach, itself:

Mother

A few dozen of Syrup will toas up the weak stomach, cleanse the liver and kidneys, and make you cheery and well once more. The blood is purified, the muscles grow firm and strong, the nerves as trus as steel, and the mind clear, alert, cheerful.

Mather Seigel's Syrup cleases the whole system, and makes the human body secure against all nervous and functional disorders, By using it occasionally, you can eat a good meat without nervous anxiety about the morrow. You can enjoy life to the full, with the appetite and digestion of a healthy young. plough-boy. That is the feeling which makes life werth living.

The indigestion that attacked me began with a slight pain at my chest. Matters grow gradually worse, until I was forced to give up my occupation," says Miss E. Dawson, of Hil End, Redborn, Herts, in a letter dated Jnly 27th, 1908. "Before this happened I budi tried various remedies without success. eventually persuaded to try Mother Seigel's Syrup A course of this medicine immediately reliered me, and by persevering with it to the extent of three bo ties.
