NERVOUS INDIGESTION.

J —- MRS McDOUGALL, BLUFF. s YEARS OF MISERY. " AFTER MIDDLE LIFE, t IX AGONY WITH HER HEART, c CURED AFTER DOCTORS FAILED. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS, a - T>'ii If { l tßdnt been for D r. Williams' Pink I ills, I would have been in ray grave today," said Mrs Margaret Strachan McDougall, wife of David McDougall. Marine Engineer. Gore street. Bluff. "I let myself run down till I was too weak to get out of bed. From one day's end to another, my head never stopped aching. My stomach turned against " everything that I ate. It just turned to - wind. I used to swell up, and suffered no . end of pain. My jierves were Etrung to an ■. awful pitch. I dreaded to bo left alono for (j five minutes. Often I broke out in a cold perspiration, and my heart started to thump like mad. I just felt as if I was going " to choke. The doctors did their best for X me—but I kept sinking all the time. At d last, my feet swelled up with Dropsy. When n the doctor gavo tie up, I made un my mind t to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. They started to do mc good after I got on to the Eecond box—but it took them two years to make mo as strong and f healthy as lam to-day. That will give you r an idea how bad my caso was. Dr. q Williams' Pink Pills saved my live—there's s nothing surer than that. ''I never knew what it was to bo one day eick till I was getting on for forty-five," said ;' Mrs McDougall. "From that time my health 1 began to go all to pieces. It was a trouble S to get through the day. .Somehow I lost c »11 .heart for housework. Most days 1 felt . like letting things look after' themselves. It c was all 1 could do to hold my head up. I couldn't have turned out a room if you ■ had paid mc. After I had been on my t feet for an hour I was ready to drop with y the pains in my legs. My poor back ached from morning till night. I got no weak j that I could hardly walk about the house. I Even when I went to bed I got no rest. Often I tossed and turned till after rnida night. If I did drop off to sleep, I would ~ wako with a start with a terrible faint f feeling. Thero I lay shaking like a- leaf. It's no wonder my sleep never did mo any j k good. In the morning I got np with a splitting nervous headache. The pain was : on the very top of my head. Often I * thought my brain would burst. The rattling of the breakfast dishes made it worse. The least noise jarred my nerves. It was no use trying to keep in good temper, for I simply couldn't. Everything seemed to go wrong. For no cause at all I used to throw my- , self on the bed, and cry my heart out. "Month after month I struggled on. get- - ting weaker all the time. 1 hardly ate * enough to keep body and soul together. Some- { how 1 never had any relish for my food. - I Everything I ato upset mc. For two or r • three hours after ovory meal I had a queer uneasy feeling that I can't describe. Even when I had only a sup of tea. and a bit of toast, I felt as if I had eaten a heavy ; dinner. It lay on my stomach like a weight of lead. Then I would start to swell up with wind. You could hear it rumbling inside. ' All of a sudden, the gas would rush up my throat. Often it brought a lot of sour stuff from my stomach that made my throat raw ■ I and pore. Sometimes I could hardly swallow ;' a bite. Every day I grew weaker and , weaker for sheer want of nourishment. ; "For months on end I was never free from p an aching, burning pain, just under my breast bone. , ' Mrs McDougall went on to say. ■ "Then, without any warning, a sharp pain ' would catch mo thero, just as if someone had stabbed mc. It was like a cramp in 'my hesrt. As quick as a shot it spread clean round my waist. It was for all the world as iif thero was a ropo round my body, and ' someone was pulling at it with all their ' might. It left my side so sore and tender ' thnt I couldn't even bear the weight of my clothes pressing on mc. I began to think that I must havo something terribly wrong inside—and I had a dread of a tumour, or i a cancer, or anything like that. But the j doctor could never find cut what was really the matter with mc. Hβ said my blood was I all to blame for tho way I Buffered with my nerves and heart. In the end I had to lie up in bed and get someone to look after mc. "Many times, whilo lying there so ill, a sort of "fear that I was dying took hold of ! mc. My heart was ready to leap up my throat, and I had to gasp for breath. The blood rushed to my head—and the next minute the sweat ran off mo in largo drops. I shook from head to foot. I felt that I wanted to scream—but I was too weak even to raise my voice. They had to get mc right out of bed. and prop mo up on a chair by the window. There I had to stay till the "smothering feeling eased off. and ivy heart began to beat all right again. My life was never safe. I never knew what day one of these turns would put an end to mc. When my feet started to swell up, • I could see by the doctor's face that he had no moro hope for mc. "As luck had it, I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Mrs McDougall went on. "A very old friend sent to Fraser. the storekeeper at Lovell's Flat, for some for mc. [ Tbe first box or two gave mc a longing for my meals—and, after that, I began to pick up. But it was slow work. Little by little, my stomach grew strong again, and I was I able to keep down everything I ate. The i headaches eased up, and I had no more of I those dizzy turns. My nerves grew steady, and I lost that downhearted feeling. I got up in the morning brimful of 'iff , , and was , soon able to work about tho hou-«e as well ' as ever. Slowly, but surely, the pain round . my waist died away, and my heart got sound ! arid strong again. It took Dr. Williams' Pink | Pills two years to cure me—but then they , cured mc for good. Since the day I left ; them off. I've never had an ache or pain." j Dr. Williams' Pink Pills don't act on tho bowels. They don't tinker with m«re «ymp- j torn*.
