"Looking at mc today, you would never think thaC two years ago, I was on the verge of a decline," Raid Mrs Bessie Allen. 54 Caledonian road. Christchurch "My Woodrt"}: ed to <*o to water, and I wasted away till I was nothing better than a skeleton. Kveryone who came to the house said how deadly ill I looked. It was no use trying to build up my strength, for I couldn't keep Wiv food down on mv stomach. I got weaker and weaker, till mv whole health wont to pieces. My nerves were all on edge, and I grow too down-hearted for words. That was the state I was in when I started to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills lor Pale People. In a month, I was a different creature. Six boxes of Ur. Williams* rink Pills made mc one of the healthiest women in Christchurch. "It is going on four years since I started to break down," said Mrs Allen. "Every month my blood grew weaker and poorer. Mv face turned sallow. Even my lips were almost blue for want of blood. I hated to look in the glass—my face was so drawn and haggard. My eyes had great dark circles under them, and they were sunk away back in mv head. Mv feet were like blocks of ice and mv hands were every bit as cold. 1 got thinner every week, till I was bttlo more than skin and bone. , "People kept tolling mc what I ought to take to make mc fat and build mc up again —but they littlo knew how bad I really was. M 7 tongue was all coated, and I could never get rid of the vile taste in my mouth. It was all very well tolling mc to eat this and eat that—but 1 hated the very sight of food. When I did force myself to eat anything, it lay like load underneath my breastbone, and made 1110 miserable for hours. Even a biscuit or a cup of water turned sour on my stomach, and set mo vomiting. That took every atom of strength I had. "I was hardly ever free from bilious headaches," Mrs Allen went on to say. "T". cv . didn't leave mc from the timo I got up till I went to bed. Tho strain soon told on my nerves. I was always out of sorts. _yen my dearest friend bored mc. I only wanted to bo left alone, for I was always on the vor~e of tears and fancied there was some great trouble hanging over mc. At. night, 1 was too nervous to sleep. I just tossed from sido to side. Every little while. I kept thinking I could hear strange footsteps about the house. Ono hour seemed as long as three. It was often half wav through tho night before I dropped off to sleep. In the morning. 1 got up too weak and tired to stand. I started each day with a dull heavy feeling and rcadv to cry at the first thing that went wrorf 'I was so nervous that my own shadow frightened mc. The least sound made mc jump and set my heart thumping like mad Any littlo excitement sent a flush and a cold shiver over mc. I was bo ill and wretched that I never knew the day when I would have to take to my bed and never get up again. "Xo one can understand now wretched and ill I was, unless they have gone through the same themselves. At times my legs wero too shaky to hold mo. I couldn't stand for any length of time. As soon as I tried to set the dinner-table, my breath started to come in gasps; and a smothering feeling took mc. Next thing mv heart started to flutter and raoo. nnd I got all of a tremble. Whenever I tried to hurry, I had to stop with the pain that caught mo in tho loft side. Soon I got so bad that it was a struggle for mo to walk a few steps. Without any warning my head started to swim—nnd the next minuto I waa down in a half faint. "For two weary years, I dragged along in this way." added Mrs Allen. "People told mc of all sort* of things to do mo good—but I tried them all. and they were all worthless. At last, my blood was no better than so much dirty water. I was just on the verge of the grave when I started Tlr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Even the second box did mo a little good. It made mc hungry for my meals, and soon I noticed that I hadn't had a headache or a backache for five or six days on end. When the last box was empty. I was a different woman. I slept the whole ni<?ht through, and got up next morning as lively as anything. A healthy colour came in my checks and T gained in weight.
