TOO WEAK TO WALK. * DYING OF CONSUMPTION. DOCTORS UTTERLY BAFFLED. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. CURE OF AN INVERCARGILL GIRL. "Nino years ago I was dying of Consumption," said Miss Alice Sycamore, 122, Crown-street, InvercargiU. "Month after month I wasted away. I looked like a Death's head. My sisters dreaded being left in the same room with me. When I i was asleep they used to cover my faco up with a cloth. I was just skin and bone. My cough seemed to tea,r my lungs to pieces. Often I fainted dead away out of sheer weakness. Even after I had suffered liko this for twelve long years I would not give up hope. I was on the verge of the grave when I made up my mind to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People— for I had read how they had cured many other cases when doctors had failed. They changed mo from a dying Consumptive into a strong, healthy woman that you see me to-day. I owe my very life to "them. • "I was only fifteen when I started to slip into this Decline," Miss Sycamore wont on. "Everyone* used to tell me how deadly pale I looked. Even my lips lost their colour. All my blood turned to water. When I held my hands up to the light you could almost see through them. When I let them fall by my side, they would swell as if I had Dropsy in them. That shows you what a shocking state my blood was in. My feet were always cold and claniray. My flesh got flabby, and soon I grew dreadfully thin. My cheeks fell in, and my eyes grew large 'and staring as if they were going to bulge out of my head. If I did a hand's turn, it left me all of a tremble. Sometimes I had not tho strength of a kitten. I soon got too weak to be any help to Mother about the house. If I shook the tablecloth, my heart would jump and flutter for the next hour. I juSfc hated the thought of having to do anything. I could never get that weary feeling out of my bones. I was always tired and my j back was never done aching. I wanted to lie down all day long. Nothing had any interest for me. I didn't want to sec my girl friends, and they all thought I had grown bad-tempered and irritable — but they little knew how ill I was. Sometimes I lost heart and thought I would be happier in my grave. "The (factor said that I ought to go for a walk in the sunshine every day — but sometimes I had hardly the strength to put ,one foot before the other. Suddenly I would feel the blood rush to my j head, and my brain would whirl round | and round. Then my knees would give way and I wonld drop in a dead faint. Many a thin© I had to be carried home. Once I was driven nine miles over a rough road to my brother's at Forest Hill, Winton,\-and .the continual jolting started me spitting blood. I fainted at the end of the drivo. For forty-eight hours I lay in a trance — as cold as ice. The v doctor could not bring me 'to my senses for two days. I was just as stiff and rigid as iron. When I came to- 1 was weaker than ever, and my memory was gone. Everyone said I was in Consumption. "My lungs were so weak that a few steps made mo gasp for breith. Any little excitement would send me off into Hysterics. **My nerves were in such a state that often the tears ran down my cheeks with Neuralgia. Terrible splitting headaches nearly drove me , mad. In fact, my whole health failed. Every part of my body was in pain. A peculiar stomach disorder made my breath very foul, and destroyed all my taste for food. My teeth decayed, and I could digest nothing— for even a morsel of meat gave me frightful pains under the breast bone. I just dreaded meol-times. My appetite was faddy. Sometimes 1 could not eat a bite — and at other limes I would have given worlds for something or other that wasn't on the table. I hardly ate enough to keep body and sou' together. Every day I got thinner and weaker. /'Doctor after doctor told mother there was absolutely no hopo for me,' added Miss Syqamore. "They said that, sooner or later, I would fill a Consumptive's grave. At last my long struggle for life seemed coming to an end' — for deadly Dropsy set in. My legs and body swelled up with water. 1 could not close my eyes, and used to sleep with them staring wide open. During my Decline I had got terribly thin and frail— but tho Dropsy spread so quickly that I soon weighed list 21b. I was a terrible sight to see. "All this went on for twelvo years. Every month I got worse. At last I was too weak to be taken upstairs. I had lost all hope of ever getting better, but mother got it into her hex . that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills could cure mo even if tho doctors couldn't. The first two or three boxes gave me a wonderful appetite, and strengthened me. It Mas threo or four weeks, however, before the Dropsy began to go down. After that, I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills regularly after each nical, and lost 2st 91bs in three months. Everj' doso helped to work tho water out of my blood. Ten boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills filled my veins with new, rod blood — and this healed my lungs and swept them clear of tho deadly germs of Consumption. I am now a 'strong, healthy woman — and have been so ever sinco Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved me from tho gravu." Miss Sycamore's case is, indeed, a miracle. It bpfllM doctors after doctor. In the end Dr. Willinms' Pink Pills cured j her just as they ciirc all diseases thab aro caused by bad blood. In fact, they actually mnko new blood. They do jutt that one thing— but they do it well. They don't act on the bowcte. They don't bother with mero symptoms. They won't cure any disease that isn't caused originally by bad blood. But that is the cause of all common ailments such as fimcniin, decline, general weakness, backaches, headaches, indigestiun, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, part Li 1 paralysis, and Jocomoler ataxia.
