BROKEN DOWN WITH ANAEMIA. No Blood in Her Body; Face a Ghastly White. Always Tired and Worn Out, Nervous, and Irritable. Restored, with. Mew Blood by Or. Williams' "When I was about twenty years of age I began to fail, and I was ill for more than two years," said Mrs John Thomas Williams, 76, Warry-street, The Valley, Brisbane. "My gums and lips were white, and my face was a sickly colour with dark rings round my eyes. If 1 cut my finger hardly any blood would come out, and then it was like water. I ached all over as if I had been beaten, and couldn't rest in bed for this reason. How I struggled along, I don't know—l could barely lift my arms to do my hair and I shrank away to noth- | ing. If I had to walk anywhere I'd stop - every five minutes with my heart thumping like an engine. The sight of food sickened [mc almost to vomiting. I used to have nervous headaches, lasting perhaps twentyfour hours—the throbbing through my temples was awful. I couldn't bear the least noi^e—my brother used to have to take his boots off before coming into the room. "One day while trying to cook the breakfast I fell flat down in a faint. The doctor was sent for, but I was unconscious all day. Sometimes I'd have an attack like this twice a week. When I was brought round I was too weak to be moved. My brother hearing how bad I was came down from Maryborough, and took mc back to his place. I had to be carried out of the honse and put in a cab. When they got mc to Maryborough they had to get another cab—l was too weak to walk. After that I was iv bed for nine weeks. Two of the Maryborough doctors treated mc, but somehow I didn't get back my strength. As a last hope my brother got mc to start Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I started them I was just existing on milk and barley water, but by the time I had taken nine boxes, I was able to eat as well as anyone. I took a dozen boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills altogether. Ever since then I have had exee'lent health." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. Anaemia and irregularities are both caused by bad blood, and so are indigestion, headaches, backaches, kidney trouble, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, failing powers, general weakness,' decline and the special secret ailments that women-folk know. By striking at the one cause in the blood, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure aU these. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, .or sent-direct, from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington. Price, 3/ a box, six boxes 16/6, post free. Write for hints as to diet, etc.
