ASTHMA FROM A CHILD.

» GIVEN UP BY ALL THE DOCTORS. CURED THREE YEARS AGO BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. " I had Astiima, from the time I was a child. For fifteen years it kept -me on the rack, ami, in the end, it brought me face- to face with Death," said Miss E. Millie Boys. Blairadain, Ann-street, Maryborough. " Doctor after doctor treated me, but they could not stop the disease. ' It kepi working ite way down into my Jungs. I was so bad that 1^ was given up." One doctor said I had' only half-au-houT to live. That was a few years ago. Set every one tells mo now that' there isn't a 'healthier en livelier girl in all Maryborough.' I 'have only Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to thank that lam alive at all. They cured mo ■when. 1 never knew tho day Asthma would smother me. "Twas only a mite when tho- doctor told Mother I 'had Asthma. She was i>i ■hopes that as I grew up it would leave me. Instead of that, tho stacks came •on more often .than ever. -My head was completely stuffed up. "Hie phlegm gathered at the bottom of 1 my throat, till it almost choked me. You could hear me wheezing outeid© the house. I dared not, go out at flight. As soon as it •came daTk a 'horrible smothering Reeling came on, <and made mo gasp ior breath. I could never lie- down in bed. ' I had to be propped tip wjth pillows. •I always felt that I could mot get enough, air. j "They were- all afraid of any lungs, and never knew when 'I would catch a cold that would carry mo off to my .grave," Miss Boys went on. "Every chill I got brought on a fit of Asthma.' Then, for a whole week I _was just hovering between life and death. Doctors said that 'my Asthma -was chronic, and that 1 would have to iweafta"3ispirator all jny life. No expense- "was ispaTed to cure me ; But Father would not give up 'Hope even when the doctors' said that nothing could' cur© Asthma when onoe it had got a- good hold on .the lungs. .1 was lucky- •aa- long as I-could-istavo noff .Consumption. In spito of all .the care, I caught a cold, that brought.,m© face,;to Jace. with -Death. 1 went to 'bed shivering all over, ■but I was 60 .tired 1 ihat I Boon went to Bleep. In an hour or go 'l woke, feeling as df-som© one "was smotherings me. "I couldn't cry out -but the others •heard me struggling. They eW how bad I •was and rushed off for the doctor. •Mother said I was the colour" of a corpse, and my face had a horrible haunted look. My 'hands and feet* wore liko ice, and my" whole body 'Began' to •turn livid.' In another minute I jyas convulsed with "a fit of coughing, and then fell back exhausted on the-, bad.- At first they -thought I1;I 1 ; was dejid. ' But .my ■ heart was still beating, and I eeemed to be breathing easier. '•! was' like' that when" tho doctor came, and, he thought at first I was out of immediate danger. Then suddenly, while he wasifctanding t thsre, I felt my lungs' drawing tight again, and in another minute I was fighting like mad for. air. <I .turned black in 'the face. Doctor and all thought' Jtha end had come. Ho said that nothing could save one, and h© gave me only 'haif-an-hour to Jive. . "Yet here, I am to-day,, tho picture of health, and not a trace of Asthma, about me— thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," added "Miss Boys. . "Mother vowed she would find something to give me ease before another bad attack came on. .She had- a few .boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house, and she made me take them in sheer desperation., From first to last -they did m© good. Instead ol being propped up in bed all night, I was able to lie down and get a good night's sleep. My appetite 'picked up and I grew stronger every day. My" lungs are so strong now that I hardly ever catch cold— when il do I can shako it off in np time and it leaves no bad effects. I can go out and -enjoy Jifo to my, heart's content. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills^ cured my Asthma, three years ago," continued MLsa Boys, "and I've ■never had the least £ign of it since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Miss 'Boys' .Asthma because nothing oan strengthen tho lungs and nerves except good, rich, red blood— and nothing but D*. Williams' Pink Pills can actually malje new blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do just that one thing, but they do it well. They don't act on .jo bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms.
