A PIPE INSTEAD OF DINNER.

"I can't stop to tat now. I'll have a pipe instead."

That is how men ruin their digestion. Hurried meals," with too many pipes or the deadly cigarette, are the Bane of the Busy.

"Continual smoking and irregular eating did me more harm than anything else," said on English pier-master,

*I was.exposed to all weathers and took my meals when I could get them. Often went without food trany hours, and returned home wet through. My constitution weakened.and my digestion failed,

A friend advised Dr. Williams' pink pills, and before I had taken three bottles I felt much better. I continued them, and soon was quite well again. Being heavy amoker, I thought my pipe caused the mischief."

"But that was not all. Recently, when I had a bad attack of sciatica, Dr. Williams' pink pills gave me immediate relief."

The pier-master, Mr, john Carlsen, lives at Quarrybank-terrace, Weston, near Runcorn, England. His wife had also an experience to relate of the same medicine.

"Some years ago," she said, "I met with cycling accident. My right arm was much hurt.

"For ever so long after, it remained trouble- some, and a touch of theumatism made it very plainful. Eventually I tried Dr. Williams' pink

pills, and I benefited very much." Mrs. Carlsen

added that two young ladies in the district who suffered from anemia took a few botiles of Dr. Williams' pink pills upon her advice, and before long were cured. "We also know," said Mrs. Carlien, "a man who was inclined to be con. sumptive, and after a fair trial of Dr. Williame pink pills he speaks in the highest praise of them."
