SHE NEEDED BLOOD.

PALE, WEAK, AND THEST. HARDLY ABLE TO WALK. MISS R. HICKS, NORMANBY. TO-DAY A PICTURE OF HEALTH. DR. | WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. "Three years ago no one would have made me believe that to-day I would _ bo one of the healthiest and strongest girls in New Zealand/ said Miss Ruby Hicks, of Normanby. "In fact, at that time, no one expected me to live. I toOk Diphtheria, and the doctor said it was a miracle I pulled through. When I got out oil bed, I was so weak that I could only shuffle round the room by catching hold of the table and chairs. Common medicine did me little or no good. If I left it off for a day or two, I fell back as bad as ever. There seemed to be no hope of mo ever getting strong till I started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The first box gave me an appetite. After that' every box put new strength and new life into me. At .the end of three months, any girl would have been proud of my health. When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills «ured me, they can do the same for any one else who is weak and bloodless. "My friends tell me now that I don't look as if my blood was ever -weak and watery," Misa Hicks went on. "But they all know what I went through beibre Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me. My face •was a .wretched sallow colour, and large dark rings came under my eyes. My cheeks were sunken, and my lips and gums were nearly white. I looked like a corpse. I wfa so thin that you could almost blow me over. The doctor said my blood was like water — and that was the real reason why 1 could never get my hands and feet warm. I lost all energy and heart. I hated to talk to anyone. I always wanted to be by myself. "At last I grew so bad that my nerves all went to pieces. I got so little sleep that I hated to go to bed. All through the night I kept waking with all sorts of strange noises ringing in my ears. I got up in the morning with a thumping headache that never stopped once during the day. When meal-time came I had no appetite even for the daintiest food. After eating a biscuit I could not force down another mouthful. I ate so little that at home they said they didn't know what kept me alive. I can't imagine any girl being weaker," Miss Hicks added. "I hadn't strength enough to dry up the breakfast dishes. The least exertion left me with a terrible backache, and set my legs trembling. If I only walked down to the slip-rails, a little over thirty yards, a smothering feeling came over nic, and I was ready to faint. ' Something seemed to be swelling inside my throat and choking me. The veins in my neck would stand out, and I thought my heart would (suddenly break loose. Many a time I pictured myself dropping dead with Heart Disease. "But there certainly isn't, anything wrong with my heart now— thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," Miss Hicks continued. "To-day lam in perfect health in every way. - I can't believe that nt liflteen I was dying for want of blood. When the doctor could do nothing for me. I made up my wind to givo Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. The very first ,box made me long for mealtime. Soon I lost thai old downhearted feeling. The colour came back to my cheeks and lips, and I was rid of my headaches and backaches. Ten minutes after I went to bed I was fast asleep, —and never woke till nearly breakfast time next morning. I got up, brimful of energy, and reacly to help in tho housework. Ifc took twenty-four boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to cure me— but nuno was the worst ense the doctor had ever known. He said he never saw anyone as weak and bloodless as I was when I started to take this wonderful medicine. lam now a fine, strong, healthy girl— and I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to everyone. They saved my life." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure bloodlessncss just as .surely ns food cures hunger. A pale anaemic person needs one thing only— now blood.
