A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Nestling closa to other comfprt-able residences in Feathe'rston, on the' Te Wharepouri Creek, is the comfortable home of Mrs. Peterson. Here a reporter elicited a remarkable story from Mrs. Petersen. It related to the daughter of the hou&e who rejoices in the pretty and unGoinmon name of Petrea. This young lady Avho is about 21 years of age and of prepossessing appearance subsequently volunteered the following statement : — "When I waa 15 I began to suffer with heart palpitation, swollen legs', loss of sleep and appetite, cramps and giddiness. The cramps were so painful that I would scream with pain ; often when walking I became giddy and had to catch at something to save myself from falling. Although treated by several clever doctors, my illness increased, and I became a sufferer from pains near the heart. I was so pale and weak that my relatives thought I would die. I noticed a case in the Evening Post somewhat similar to mine, which had been cured by Dr. Williams's pink pills, and some were bought for me. After even a few doses I seemed to feel better, and when I had used several boxes the improvement was noticeable. I continued with them until quite cured, and my improved appearance is a suibject of remark. My mother has also benefited by Dr. Williams's pink pills in audition to three of my friends, and as we are always recommending them their popularity ' in this district is very great." In almost every neighbourhood a similar case might be heard of for 1 there is hardly a town where there are not some people, once suffering invalids, who have been restored to health by Dr. Williams' pink pills. The disorders they have cured include paralysis, consumption, bronchitis, rheumatism, sciatica, blood impoverishment, rickets, indigestion, all forms of female weakness and hysteria. They are a tonic not a purgative. Substitutes are offered by some retailers, there is no instance on record in which a substitute has benefited anyoriß Dr. Williams' pink pills are sold by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., j Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free, and by chemists and stoiekeepfcrs. But mind you ask for Dr. Williams'. The genuine are never loose on in bottles i
