GIRLS WITH OUEER CRAVINGS

Fondness for Starch, ,Vincgaf and RcHes. ' • A certain sign that the Health is out of Order and Needs Attention. 9 ■ Such queer cravings girls and women sometimes have. Good, wholesome food they can scarcely look at, but they will eat great quantities of starch, vinegar, or pickles. Cravings like these are one of the commonest symptoms of Anaemia— tho condition into which peoplo drift when their blood supply falls below the proper level. In Anaemia thcro is, of course, tho customary paleness, listlessuoss,' headaches, and heart palpitation, but the gravest danger is the weakening of tho resisting forces of tho body to other diseases. It is from anaemic ones that epidemics . gain their victims and that recruits for consumption and declim are found. . Tho great need in anaemia is an increased blood supply, and for this purposo Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pole People can bo recolnmondod with confidence. They have already cured in Australia thousands of cases of anaemia i and they actually contain ingredients that combino with food and air to mako rich, new blood. The caso'of Mrs. Richards, Bath Street, Parnoll, Auckland, shows how good they aro in curing anaemia. Mrs. Richards, who is n young woman of twenty-four, made tho following statement for tho benefit of other sufferers;—

"As a young girl 1 slipped into an anaemic state. Every day found my strength and energy n little less and my appetite a bit poorer till nt last I was hardly eating a thing all day, unless I could have vinegar on my food. Mv mother had oven, to hide tho bottle, for I would make vinegar drinks when I could or else, eat lemons. If I got a cut finger the place hardly bled, and then only pnlo fluid trickled out. Tho blood in mv body got less and less. My gums and liji'a turned whilo and so did my eyelids. People rcnil.rk.cd how dreadfully wasted and (hin 1 was, and how pulled down in looks. I seemed to fade every day. Itwas u trouble to walk any distauco. I would start panting and lose every bit of breath and novo to fairly gasp for it, I went: to business every day when really I was hardly fit to stir out, and 1 got homo fairly tired and worn out and thankful to sit down at once. I was tired every hour of the day and folt so wretchedly low spirited. My mother would not'know what to do for me, for I was the only ons and she naturally was worried. 1 was always headachy and low spirited. I was always nervous and oxcilnblo too. Fainting turns came on, and I would be out of ono and into another. My feet and hands were quite cold for tho blood did not circulate. I ached all over in every joint and bone. Neuralgia came on in both sides of my face and settled there; nnd it nagged and burned for hours. Fortunate!v I found a cure in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They began to mako my blood rich and tono up my nerves, nnd I kept on gradually improving in strength and appetite till nt last I was able to finish tho course. Thev also proved pf benefit to my mother! Mrs. Donsley."

Woods' Great Peppermint Cure for Coughs and Colds, never faiis, ls. Gd.* Speaking at the annual mooting of tho Tosmaninii Cricket Association, (ho veteran of the palmy days of cricket in (ho beautiful island. Sir J. (1. Dnvies, said that at tho present time they "had not a decent bowler in the South. They had a lot of medium bowlers, and Die consequence wns they could not expect anything extraordinary in batting. Tho standard of Tnsmailinu cricket did not compare in any respect with what it used to be, even in Mr. Kndy's time, let alone, the days when ho (the speaker) used, to play. There was too much net praclico and not enough practice in the held. The greatest reason of all that cricket had not improved was that they had not a professional player amongst them."
