PALE AS DEATH.

HELEN ROBINSON. CHRISTCHURCH. BLOOD ALL TURNED TO WATER. BACKACHE ALL DAY LONG. TOO WEAK TO WALK. WASTING AWAY IN A DECLINE. ROSY AND STRONG TO-DAY. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. " For five months I was too weak to put ono foot before the otber," said Mia? Helen Robinson. Ilakaia, near Christchuruh. " I h»d to -pond half my time lyu.g d-wn, with my back aching fit to break. My old doctor in Temuka said my bloud had all gone to water. Aiter treating mc for months ho told mc to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills fur Paie People. Inside of three niontka they tnado mc so strong that I never know what it is to be tired now. " I was barely twenty when I started to go into bad health," said Miss Robinson, who, by the way, is a sister of Mr Robert Robinson, storekeeper, of 'icm-ika. '"There was a good deal of housework to be done, and most of it fell on my shoulders. It waa more than my strength was able to stand. Little by littlo I found what n struggle it was to get through the days. When Ri_'it camo I ww almost too tired to uncLcss myself. Pooplo told mo that I wie just killing myself with work. My faco got hag-* gard and drawn. There wasn't a scrap of colour in my cheeks, or in my lips either. My eyes felt too heavy to open, and always had deep black rings under them. My blood wm no good to mo at all. Every now and then a- cold shiver ran through mc. I gave up trying to • get my feet warm. JQveii my hands were stone cold. Everyone I met had tho on* cry, 'Whatever is wrong with you? You do look ill!'

" I grow so thin that all my_ clothe? started to lap over on mc. You couldn't wonder al that, for my appetite was worse than wretched. For months I didn't know what it was to feel hungry. When I did -banco to fancy anything it was always pickles, or something like that, which wouldn't do mc any good. No matter what I forced down it made my face burn like fire. Thero was a horrible dry ta*to in my mouth, and my throat felt parched. The very sight of food took away my appetite. Even milk was too strong for my stomach. Five minutes after I drank it I wanted to vomit. A thick haee camo over my eyes, and my head spun round and round. A noiso like the humming of hundreds of b*cs came in my cars. Then I grew oold all over, and went as limp m a rag. I cocldn't tell you what I felt like when these sick turns oanio over mc. I wa« for worse than if I had l&llen in a dead faint. "The doctor r »red no pains to build mc up—but none of his medicine was able to make any blood for mc. In spite of everything I grew weaker. He told mc that there was something very wrong with my nervos. If the tea tray standing in the kitchen, rolled over and rattled, it sot m~ all of a tremble. I dreaded to bo left alone in the house. If a door blew open I waa terrified to shut it. Try as I would, I could not settle my mind on any ono thing. In tho middle of straightening up a room I would leave it and go and begin something else. I used to think that no one had worried like mc. Everything went against mo. Often I felt wretched oncu_h to cry my heart out. I went to bed downhearted, and woke next morning more _ miserable than over. I was aches and paina all ever. My back waa rwtdy to go in two. Sometimes my koeofi trembled, till I could not stand. Every little while in the day I had to throw myself down on tho couch. 1 was too weak to drag my legs after mc. " But it was my heart that, gave the doctor more worry than anything el»e, added Uin Bobinson. "It innre-d and fluttered for nothing at all. to for S? n (5«P Bta was out of breath beforo I -!>«»•?-* »,**£" steps. Any little exertion like this made the Aspiration roll off mc.
