"No one can have suffered more than I (lid with stomach trouble." writes Phil. E. Pasealur, well known at St. Andrews Corners. "My doctor told me m.v Indigestion and sleepless- neas were due to poisons in the blood. Certainly my condition was desperate, and It seemed from the despondent feelings that swept over me that I would lose my reason. I happened to read about Dr. Hamilton's I'iUs and bought five boxes from the druggist. Such body-cleansing pills I never used; they were mild and yet quite strong enough to drive all the humors out of the blood. My stomach gained strength rapidly with Dr. Hamilton's PlUa and I Improved so much that In eight weeks 1 could cat and digest all onllnary food.
