The Featherston Escape

„ ■ . — # INrBEVIBW WIIH TBB HEROINE A press representative recently had a most interesting interview with the charming young lady who i» now known as the heroine of the Fe&theraton escape. Featherston is a town in Nort Island of New Zealand, and the Lady in question is Miss Petrea Peterson. The full particulars of hef marvellous escape are beßt given in her own vivacious words : — " lam 19 yeara of age," she said, " and ever since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less. Palpitation of the heart was my principal trouble, and this was induced by anaemia, or poorness of the blood. When, for instance, I ran up-staira my heart used to thump most frightfully against my sides, and bo bad was it that on these occasions I was enable to to walk for some time afterwards. This was naturally a source of consider, able anxiety to my family and friends. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn-oui, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. At times, too, I had fearful attacks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation, to those around. I wae always in a weak, low state, and, of course, never felt fit for my work. My legs, too, would at times s* ell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother

great suspense. Thus as I grew older I became worse and worse, beiDg subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused me to almost fall dowD. I tried plenty of medicines and I had several doctors, one after the other, bat they gave me no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless, I one day noticed an advertisement for Dr Williams* Pink Pills for PaJe People in the ' Evening Poet.' Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking your pills strictly according to direction?. After the third dose to my surprise, I found a change for the better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine bo^ea, and am now in every way in the most perfect condition. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellingß in the legs have all disappeared, and affection in my eye baß likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments at all daring the past four months, it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. My mother thinks the world of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself. I am awfully thankful to them, and I have recommended them to all my fiiends. Four of them speak exactly as I do of the pills; and cannot praise them too highly. You may make whatever use you like of this testimonial." What BtroDger testimony could we show ?
