YOUNG GIRL SAID TO BE IN A DECLINE.

GREW ANAEMIC AT FIFTEEN; TOO WEAK TO GET OUT OF BED; THIN AND WASTED; VIOLENT HEADACHES AND HEART PALPITATION. HEALTH RESTORED BY ' DR. WILLIAMS' PINK; PILLS. Tlio following is just one of the many serious oasos of bloodlessness that havo been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo Pcoplo. Mrs. Jno. Fitzsimmous tolls how they saved her daughter, Victoria, when she was thought to be in a decline. Miss Fitzsimmous is a professional singer and dancer of considerable note, and lias appeared with her sister Mabel in many leading halls and has toured many of the largo towns. "My daughter Victoria fell ill when sho was fifteeu," said Mrs. Fitzsimmous. "First of all sho complained ■of indigestion, then she got influenza, and finally anaemia set in. I couldn't tempt her with the best cooked dainties.' ■ Meat and vegetables she wouldn't look at, merely bread and butter or a little 'toast, and there was a craving for salt, or anything sour like pickles. Every particle of colour faded from her face leaving her cheeks and lips white. Sho had dark rings round her eyes lind every day she got thinner till it was pitiable to' see her. She had no strength or energy to get about. Day after day she'd have to lie in bed. too weak to rise. Sho couldn't do a hand's turn about tha house, she'd just havo to lie on the sofa. Her eyes got very bad, sho had a hazy mist, before them with millions of specks danciii" so sho couldn't sow or read. One day I took her out for a littlo fresh air and to my terror her sight suddenly failed altogether. I had to stop still with her a while and then lead her. homo, her sight getting a littlo better towards evening. She was terribly low spirited and only wantod to bo alone. Her frionds would come round for her to take a stroll but her answer was always,. No. One of her ankles swelled up, and both of thera . as well as her wrists gave her pain. One (f her arm sliacj a-peculiar twitching from shoulder to lingers. Sho had terrible palpitation. If she .had a littlo exertion her heart -would start thumping. I honestly thought she was in a decline, and I was worried to death. One day she'd feel better and the next worse than ever. • Her gums were quite white, and her feet and hands cold. Slip had 'practically no circulation. Sho had violent ucadaches lasting all day and a dull ache between the shoulders. At nights particularly she'd get dreadful attacks of neuralgia. She'd feel sick at the stomach after eating, but could rarely bring anything up. Tho doctor's treatment did her very little good, and through hearing of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I decided to give them a trial. The first few, doses actually did her a little good. The colour began to show in her faco and lips. Her eyes brightened, and she began to fill out again, her appetite improved most wonderfully. Tho soqond box saw her able to eat a meal of meat and vegetables, and the utter weariness gave way to good spirits. Tho headaches and palpitation got less every day, and she could £et about the house and go out in tho fresh air with pleasure. The third box cured her. You could see her health returning every day. Now sho is well enough to resume her profession, though I nevor thought she would." Miss Fitzsimmous lives with her mother at 361 Cleveland Street, Redforn, Sydney. , Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicino dealers, or if you cannot get tlicm locally, send direct to Tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington; 3s. for one boxsis boxes for lCs. 6d.," post frco.
