Fainted Every Day. Emma William s< Kaitangata Blood Weak as Water Heart Failing Fast Worn to a Shadow . Strong and Healthy Again Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. « Ask any of my friends in Kaitangata, and they'll tell you about the Sunday that I had to be carried out of Church m a dead faint,” said Emma Williams, the eldest daughter of Mr. Win. M ilhams, of Kaitangata. “ The doctor said my heart had hardly the strength to keep beating, for my blood was little better than water. Morning after morning I got up, too weary to dress myself. There was always an allgone feeling in my back, and my head ached by the hour For days I went about in a fit of the blues. I used to say to myself that I would likely be dead before another month was out. The doctor bid his best to cure me, but I wasted away till I was just skin and bone As booh as Grandmother saw the state I was In, she would have me start Dr. M ilhams Pink Pills for Pale People. When I found how much good they were doing nio, 1 vowed that I’d never leave them off ti l they cured me. No more 1 did. 1 took them for over two years—but there wasn t a week that I did not pick up a little and in the end, they saved my life. Father says that Dr. Williams’ Pmk Pills worked a miracle in my case. That’s why we made my sister Edith take them, vuien she was 16, and started to go just the same way as I did. Xu a few mouths they built her up until she was far stronger than ever she was before. “At ten o'clock in the morning I was tired as if I had been on my feet the livelong day,” said Miss Williams. “My legs ached, and I was limp all over. All the back bone seemed to have gone out of me, for I wanted to stoop all the time. Everything was a trouble to me. I always wanted to ho alone. Mother said that at eighteen she had three times the life that I had, and she was always saying to me. Why don’t you go out, Girl, and see if you can t set some colour in your cheeks. But 1 couldn’t ho bothered. If 1 only wont a few doors down the street. 1 was hound to meet someone to tell me how ill I looked. Everyone said that I was going into a Decline. I was so weak that L was only fit to 101 l about the house. When I tried to make a bed, 1 had to sit down and rest every little while. My breath came in gasps and 1 felt that I was going to smother. Mv heart was as weak as it could he. “My head ached for days on end. It nearly drove me mad. The pain got on my nerves, and often I could have screamed with it. Even at the best of times, my nerves jumped at every little sound. My heart started fluttering, and a cold creepy feeling came over me. Next minute I was ofi in a dead faint. Soon these fainting fits came so often that 1 never knew when 1 would go down in a heap. More than once my head swam and my legs went from under me in the street. Sometimes, when mother called me in the morning, 1 woke with a start. The doctor said all along that there was little or no blood in my body. He told them at home that they must send me for a change of air, if they didn't want me to die in Consumption. “ i’ll never forget how weak and wretched I was when father sent mo down on a visit to my grandmother in Invercargill,” Miss Williams went on to say. “ Before I got into the train, I took a good look round Kaitangata, for 1 was sure I would never see it again. 1 really felt I was going to die. But grandmother said I might have a good many years before me yet. and she made me take Dr. \V illians’ Pink Pills. “ . They’ll make you cat,’ she told me, if they do nothing else.’ As a matter of fact, they saved" my life. It was two months before I could feel them doing me much good. After that, I began to mend slowly. I ato and slept better, and 1 did not faint nearly so often. After a while, I began to gain in weight, and to feel ever so much brighter and stronger. In the end, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured me completely, and 1 feci that I shall never bo able to praise them half enough’ it took Dr Williams’ Pink Pills two years and more to make me as strong and healthy as lam to-day—but then my case was the worst 1 ever heard of. ’ Dr. Williams Pink Pills actually make new blood.
