NARROW ESCAPE OF A GIRL.

St. Leonards has been the scene of numerous startling events in the course of its career, which have excited the attention* not only of the borough itself, but of the whole country. Recently there has been another striking incident, which has been the subject of much comment, and which moreover, has an instructive side. A narrow escape from death arrested attention, and the " Hastings Observer" visited the heroine, Miss Sarah E. Gough, of St. Leonards, a prepossessing rosyfaced young woman, looking the picture of health.

" I used to suffer from anaemia," she said, " and was ill for four or five months. I kept getting worse and worse, and was so weak that I could not walk about. I used to wish I could die. 1 could not eat any thing without being sick, and for two or three days 1 would go without anything to eat all. When I went upstairs I had to go up two or three at a time, and then take a rest. I had no breath for walking. I lost all my colour; a very clever doctor told mc that I bad Dot got hall a pint of blood in mc, and that what I had was no good, adding that I was on the verge of consumption. I had to take to my bed— I could not stand. The doctor tried my heart and said it was very weak. I had very bad palpitations, and used to suffer from indigestion. At last I tried Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People. Everybody wae telling mc about them, and the good they had done. After I had been taking them about a week I began to feel better. I had more colour, and regained my strength. Mγ breath came back too. I took them continuously for about two months, leaving off, taking them about four months ago." " And now you feel quite well? " "Yea, I am better now than ever I WftS in my life. The people used to ask whatever was the matter with mc. They told mc I was in consumption." . Miss Gough's words clearly show that her cure is permanent. These £ille are not like other medicine, and their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are so famous foe the cure of anaamia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and to restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, loco, motor ataxy, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance* and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N. Z., at 3s. a box, or six for 15s. 9d., out are genuine only with' fall name, Dr. \\ illiame .
