in the' Auckland hospital for six weeks, and came out as bad as I went in. I fell away in flesh until I was .as thin' as possible.' All the colour faded from my face ,and lips. I had hardly any blood,, in my body. : They said I looted like' a walking ghost. If I cut myself the.blood was just like.water; and would hardly trickle. I;-had violent headaches lasting for hours at a-time. I'd be- so dizzy with them that'l couldn't bear anyone near me,, and the slightest noise drove me distracted. My back was always aching cruelly. I-only wanted to lie down all day on the -lounge.- My heart', would wildly .at" the ''least exertion. If I climbed a 'stair I'd have to sit down . at: the top and ,' gasp for breath. For months at a time I never wont out! of the... house, I was carried . each day from my bed ■to '.; the couch; on the balcony, and when we removed I had to bo token in a cab. At night I slept-very badly; I had several doc-. 1 ,tors, and though I spent,-' : large 1 sums of money, I got no .lasting benefit. Then, I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I. decided 'to give them a trial. The' first;>box'did me' a little good. I .kept on with them, taking.just three, a day. Soon my face and limbs.got some colour in them, and I;began'to fill out. • That cruel backache ceased, and I found myself able once, more to get about and. dp my:housework, and lost.Christmas Iswas able, to.' take a holiday to; Wellington. People could .hardly believe it. Tain a changed woman since I took Dr.. Williams'- Pink Pills.".
