WEAK, LANGUID, AND BLOODLESS
" ANAEMIA IN ITS WORST FORM. " WOMAN'S ' HEALTH SHATTERED. : ; WASTED AWAY TO NOTHING; CON- ■ . STANT FAINTING' FITS AND HEAD- , ACHES. SEVEN DOCTORS FAILED ' TO CURE HER. DR. WILLIAMS'PINK I'ILLS, GAVE HER HEALTH : AND STRENGTH. THEY BUILT UP HER BLOOD SUPPLY. "When I was about twenty-four T became; anaemic," said Mrs. Louis Van Praag. "I lost all my 1 colour. I hadn't a scrap in my face, lips, or hands; the'latter were quitetransparent. I lost all my flesh, and was as thin as possible. As to strength, I hadn't a vestige. I never , wanted to go . out—just- wanted to lie down all day. Often I wastoo. weak to get out.of bed in-the ■ mornings. I'd get faint feelings;, every[thing would go black, and'l'd go right off altogether. I had advice from seven doc- . tors, but I got no benefit' in, spite of: all' the tonics I, swallowed and -the small fortune it cost my people. : I went away to' Moss Vale for a change, and came back as bad as when I went. Nearly every day I'd get nervous ' headaches that throbbed and pierced through my head, particularly at the I'd get attacks"-~6f Neuralgia '-'in"-' ■ : both>sides of my face, darting up and down - each jaw as if-the- parts,'We on fire*.'" The v attacks would come on about 10 o'clock each day and last till about five, and then go off. My-appetite was, very poor. The only things ! I wanted to cat were pickles and brcaa; sometimes I had no liking for these. My feet and hands were always cold as stones. My hair began to fall out-. My heart's action was very faint, except if I went upstairs or moved quickly. Then it started to thump. I never had the least heart to do anything. I was too weak and languid. Work was beyond me. I'd toss about for hours at a time when in bed, and in tho morning I could hardly get up. I'd liavo such queer ' ringing noises in my head at times, and I'd have fits of hysteria, laughing and crying by turns. If I cut myself quite deeply hardly; any blood would come, and what aid ' comc was pale and,scantyl was ailing like . 'this fdr'about six inonth's : when I started '' to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a. trial. The first box did me a little : good; Little by little I found my appetite improving.' I lost my desire for sour things, and began 10 fancy wholesome food, and what's more, I Itept' down what I swallowed. I was not nearly so languid, and 1 began to brighten j up and take an interest in tilings.' Before _ ' I'd finished the fburth box the colour- was coming back to mv face and lips, and'l began to put on flesh. I could feel the new blood in my 'veins and my feet and hands J - were not so cold. My headaches began to ease off and the Neuralgia was not nearly so bad. ' I stuck to the pills, and soon I could sleep well and feel quite brisk when I woke up. • I kept on with them, ta"king one pill' after each meal. Every day I fejt stronger and better. My nerves calmed down, and the hysterics left me. Ever sinco •' T ;finished. the course I've enjoyed tho best _ of health and feel as strong and energetic as anyone could wish. The pills worked a " marvel on me."
