A GIRL SAVED FROM THE GRAVE.

" I am 19 years of age," eai Miss Petrea Peterson, of Feathr I stoo, North Island, New Zea land, to a press representative who intei viewed her last month . "and since I was 15 I have beei suffering, mi»re or Jess. I ha( acute palpitation of tbe h»ar> wbich was brnugnt about bi anaemia or bloodiest;* tss, to whici I wa-» long a martyr. Whenevei £ ran upstairs my heart woulc thump violently against my sides and I wt/uld be quite epeechiesi for several moments until I re covered my breath. Night aftei ~tght I tossed, weary and wornout, on my bed, trying vainly t< sleep. I had fearful attack* ol cramp in my legs, arid so greal was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation. I was always in a weak, low state, and never Felt fit for my w ik. My h'g* would at times swell up to a considerable extent, aud this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I grew worse aud worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness, which nuny a time caused me to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctors, but they gave no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of th.> eye from which I suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless, I one day noticed an advertisement for Dr Wil iams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking them strictly according to directions. After the third dose 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 boxes, and am now in every way in tbe most perfect health. Insomnia, weakness, gddiness, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and the affection in my eye ha* likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments at all during the past four months, it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. The pills have absolutely cured me, and I will always keep some of them by me. I feel fit for my work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she haß tried several boxes herself. lam awfully thankful to them, and I have recommended them to all my friends. Four of them speak exactly as I do of the Pills, and cannot praise them too highly. I am well - known here, and numbers of people have beeD watching my case with int3rest. You can use this testimonial in any way you desire." l)r Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine, but are a thoroughly Hcientific preparation, the result of years of careful study on tbe part of an eminent Edinburgh University physician, and they were successfully used by him in bis everyday practice for years b-fore being offered for general sale. They are a perfect blood builder and a nerve restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor atasia, St VitW dance, nervous headache, general debility, nervous prOßtratioo, the after effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe C( Ids, diseases depending on humours in the blood, such as ecr >- fula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale aud sallow complexions, and are a specific for all troubles peculiar to the female system, such as anasmia, poor and watery blood, female irregularities, etc. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in troubles arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. Experiencing any difficulty in obtaining the genuine Dr Williams, send direct to the Dr Williams 1 Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z, who will forward (poßt paid, on receipt of stamps or post order) one box for 3s, or half a dozen for 15s 9d.
