WASHING DOWN MEALS.

A Habit Inviting Trouble; ! One of the worst errors practised at table is that of "washing down" food before it has been properly masticated. It is an evil accompanying the "speeding-up" process which prevails in eyerything we do to-day. Doctors haye declared that ninetenths of the cases of indigestion begin with this violation of nature s law, for to wash down unmasticated food is to introduCe into the stomach a two-fold evil; one the evil of lumpy solids which the stomach was never intended to digest, and the other evil, that of diluting the stomacli's juices so that they become too wealc to work. Then indigestion begins its tortures, and other maladies follow, for the digestion, nerves and blood are sympathetic and on them dcpends the. wholo-health of the body. The key to the proper treatment of indigestion is renewal of the hlood; this will promptly strengthen the digestion and create ah appetite; then the new blood will nourish and re-energise the whole system. For mnking new blqod, and as a remedy for indigestion and stomach troubles, Dr Williams pink pills have proved their value , m thousands of severe cases. Nothing else is just as good.
