f 1 8!' A Strong Man made Nervous and Weak by Acute Dyspepsia. A cure found in the Tonic Treatment of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ■■ I was a strong hearty man until about two years ago," remarked Mr. ROBERT RICE* of 55, Elm street, Ben well, Newcastle- on-Tyne, "then I began to suffer, my troubles developing into Acute Dyspepsia. The first sign of anything being amiss was a short sharp pain in my chest after tak- ing food. Then every meal was followed by cruel pains across the chest and should- ers. Even a mouthful of food would start the agony. "Yet if I missed my meals a sour fluid scalded my throat. I was greatly distressed by flatulence, and my tongue became so coated that everything I swallowed had a -nauseating taste. I felt puffed up and breathless after a short walk or any exer- tion. "My head throbbed with pain night and day, and though I took various medicines recommended, this violent indigestion gained such a hold on me that complete nervous collapse followed. I could not attend to my business, for I had lost all strength I was pale and thin and trembled with nervousness. Frequent attacks of neuralgia drove me almost frantic. Every night I went to bed worn out, yet my agitated nerves would not let me sieep. My stomach grew so tender that medicine made me sick, and I quite lost hope of ever regaining health. "One clay a gentleman told me that he had found a complete cure for Indigestion in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, as they gave him New Blood and strength- ened his system. So I purchased a supply. Just at first there was only a slight im- provement, but after a few boxes my lost appetite had returned and I felt more like myself. I continued the pills with such remarkable benefits that I could attend to business and take exercise without feeling fatigued. My nerves became strong and steady, I picked up weight and gained a healthy colour. Since then I have felt no- thing whatever of Indigestion." THOUSANDS SAY SO. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are a splendid tonic, every constituent of which is helpful in toning up the digestive organs. They are therefore the ideal remedy for chronic digestive and stomach troubles. Not only Indigestion, but Anaemia, General Weakness, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, and all diseases arising from Bad Blood and Weak Nerves have been cured repeatedly by these pills.

OLD ACE PENSIONS. MEN AMD NOMEN WITH SOUND DIGESTION ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BENEFIT. Some people bestow more thought up- on how they shall live when they are old than upon the means by which health and life may be preserved until that pericpl is reached. Take a look at this matter Pensions begining at seventy will not berlefit, people who die young or at mid- dle age and that we all know, is the fate of most of us. However strong you may be naturally you must guard your health carefully if you wish to live for seventy years or more. Indigestion being the cause of most diseases, it fol- lows that those fortunate people who altogether escape that malady, or cure themselves of it, have the best chance to attain old age. Therefore, do not neg- lect the first sign of indigestion. If on rising in the morning you feel sick if your head aches, your tongue and mouth are furred and you have no appetite for food; if the little food you do eat brings on pain at the chest and between the shoulders send at once for a bottle of

MOTHER SESGEL'S SYRUP. A few doses of that famous medicine will certainly relieve you and by con- tinuing its use for a little while your health will be restored and your outlook on life brightened in every way. Taken daily after meals, it will make and keeD you well. For many months I was tortured by acute indigestion. The pain at my chest and between my shoulders was fearful. My appetite almost ceased, food of any kind causing me to vomit. Less than one bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup greatly relieved me, and three bottles cured me. "(Signed) (Mrs.) MARIA WILSMON, Blunt's Hall Road Witham, Essex, April 25th, 1908. Mother SeigeS's Syrup is now also prepared in Tablet form, and sold under the name of Mothel- Seigel's Syrup Tablets. Price 2/3 per bottle-one size on:y.

Saved from Drowning. PENRHIWCEIBER CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE. About mid-day last Saturday, a young girl named Maxworthy, daughter of Mr Maxworthy, Woodfield street, was sitting on the bank of the river close to Cwm- cynon colliery nursing her baby sister. Somehow or other the child fell into the river, and immediately the girl screamed for help. A workman on the tip close by heard the screams, and pluckily rushed down the tip bank, crossed the river and saved the child, which would have un- doubtedly been drowned had it not been for his promptitude.

Glamorgan Assizes. Local Cases. EJECTMENT OR FIGHT?

Christian people must realise Jesus as I their Lord and King. They must be conscious that they belonged wholly to Him, so that every fibre of their being became responsive to His touch. It had often been said that Christians did not possess the Word. Their knowledge of the Bible was scrappy. The Christian and his Bible were oftentimes mere ac- quaintances. There was a publication called the Marked Tectameiit. He would say without hesitation that the man who was so unfamiliar with the Bible as to need a marked one had no business in the Inquiry Room unless he went there to be converted. They nibbled at the great Book instead of eating it. People could never be physically strong by eating water melons and fairy cakes, and they could not be spiritually strong by reading leaflets and pampKlets. They must read the word of God. Non- chur.chgoers must be convinced of the earnestness of Christian people. They must be convinced that Christians were as alert in detecting pride as in smelling beer. They must be convinced that Christians are just as keen in condemn- ing the gambling that goee on at church bazaars as the gambling that is carried on at other places. (Hear, hear.) I Christians must denounce commercial trickery, monopoly, bad housing, sweat- ing, overcrowding. It was the business of Christian Ehdeavourers to see that the right men were elected on the local Boarde and Councils. They should see that no man or woman should be elected, if his or her character was not as pure as God's light. The Chairman, in moving a vote of thanks to the speakers, extended a hear- ty invitation to those who wished to join the Christian. Endeavour Society. The meeting closed by singing the Dox- ology.
