WEAK, LANGUID AND BLOODLESS.

Anaemia in its worst form.

Woman's health shattered. Wasted J away to nothing; constant fainting fits and headaches. Seven doctors failed to care her. Dr. Williams' Fink Pills save her health and strength. They built up her blood supply. •"When I was about 24 1 became anaemic," said Mrs Louis Van Ptaag. "I lost all my colour. I hadn't a scrap in my face, lips, or hands, the latter were quite transparent. I lost all my flesh and was a s thin as possible. As to strength. I hadn't a vestige. I never wanted to go out, just wanted to lie down all day. Often I was too weak to get out of bed in the mornings. I'd get I faint feelings, everything would go blacu, and I'd go right off altogether. I had advice from sevea doctors, but 1 got no benefit in spite of all the tonics I swallowed, and the small fortune it cost my people. I went away to Moss Vale for a changt, j and came back as bad as when I went. J Nearly every day I'd get nervous headaches that "throbbed ajid pierced through my head, particularly at the temples. I'd get attacks of neuralgia in both sides of my J face, darting up and down each jaw as if the parts were on fire. The attacks would come on about ten o'clock each day and last till about five, and then go off. My appetite was very poor. The only things 1 wanted to eat were pickles and bread, sometimes I had uo liking for these. My % feet and hands were always cold as stones. My hair began to fail out. My hearts action waa very faint except if I went upstairs or moved quickly. Then it started to thump. I never had the least heart to do anything. I was too weak and Languid. Work was beyond mc. I'd toss about for hours at a time when in bed, and in the morning J could hardly get up. I'd have such queer ringing noises in my head at times, and Tα have tits of hysteria, laughing and crying by turne. If I cut myself quite deeply | hardly any blood would come, and what did come was pale and seamy. I was ailing like this for about sis months when 1 started to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. The first box did mc a little good. Little oy little 1 found my appetite improving. I lost my desire for sour things and began to fancy wholesome food, and what's more. I kept down what 1 swallowed I was not nearly so languid and I began to brighten up and take an interest in things, i j Before I'd finished the fourth box, tne| colocr was coming back to my face and lip?, and I began to put on flesh. I could feel j the new blood in my veins, and my feet and hands were not so cold. My headaches began ■ to ease off, and the neuralgia was not nearly so bad. I stuck to the pills and soon I cOTild sleep well and feel quite brisk wheu I woke tip. I kept on with them, taking one 3iH after each meal. Every day I felt stronger and better. My nerves calmeo down and the hysterics left mc. Ever since I fipished the course I've enjoyed the best of health, and feel as strong and energetic as anyone could wish. The pills worked a marvel on mc." Mrs Praag resides at 4S, Albion-street, Surry Hills. Sydney.

Dr. Mason informed a "Press" representative that the Maori who had been discharged as cured of leprosy from Quail Island, after a stay there of 11 mouths' duration, was healed of his malady by the Nastin treatment, which the doctor explained had been introduced some time back by Professor Deycke Paska, of Constantinople, where he is in charge of a leprosy institute. The treatment, which consists of a injection of a culture of the bacillus of leprosy, which acts in much the same way as tuberculin, has been followed with considerable success. Dr. Mason, who had been in coiuraunication with Professor Deycke, applied the Nastin treatment to the patients isolated on Quail Island with very satisfactory results. The Maori has nowbeen discharged as cured, although the disease lias left its mark on his hands and feet. The white man, who has now been on the island for over two years, has benefited very greatly by the treatment, and shows a wonderful improvement in his condition. Before the Maori left the island, with grim humour, he printed on the outside of the little cottage -which he has occupied for 11 months the words "To Let."
