FAINTING FITS.

O i — MISS ROHLOFF, TIMARU -TOO WEAK TO WALK , SLIPPING INTO A DECLINE • -HEALTH PERFECT TO-DAY. DR: WILLIMS* PINK PILLS. " When I entered my +°«ns, it would have been hard to find a stronger girl anywhere," said Miss Stella Rohloff, Le Cren's-terrace, L* Oren-slree.t, Timaru. "Soon after I turned fifteen. I started to fade away, and the only thing that saved me from ih.e> grave was Dr, WilHans' Pink Pills for Palo People 1 took them for six months, and it is just wonderful the- way they built me up. When £ started them I was a skeleton — but I weighed list 41b when I knocked them off. " My blood must have been ov«r-taxea, for I grew pale and weak." added Miss tiohloff. " I had no life, and just went about the house 'n a half-dazed' way. Mother never dreamed i was so bad. She used to get annoyed, and tell me that I gave way too much. I wouldn't let her know that there, were times when I had hardly the strength to - put one foot before tho other. I would not give in till one day, when I was helping her, I staggered to the sofa and fell back in a dead faint. - That was a terrible" shock to them all. - The doctor was sent for. and be said I fainted from sheer weakness and want of blood. . "'She will need every care, Mrs. r Rohloff,' were his last words to' mother. 'The .least chill might end in -her Death." She has hardly enough blood in her body to keep her alive as it is.' " I didn't look as if t had any blood, for I was the colour of Death," .Miss Rohloff went on. " "My Jips and gums were almost purple. My cheeks fell in; and by eye? sank away back in my head. I was a jrlnstly sight. Every few weeks greafc_ dark circles came under my eyes; showing what a terrible state my health was in. The doctor sent me medicine, and mother did her best to build mo up j with _ good food and no end of care — but, in spite of everything, I kept going down, down, down. "Soon 'T t va& nothing but an invalid. I had not tht energy to do a. hand c turn. In fact, I had not the- strength. My back was never done aching, and my head felt as . if it would burst. When those headaches came on [ could not toe still for two minutes. I grew -'restless 1 and could not get rid of the feeling that something dreadful was going,, to happen; [ Then' suddenly" my head,sta,r*s4 ] ti) ewinx,.. and all the blood- in my btody Pushed to"' my face. The next minute I was stretchon the floor in a dead faint, as lifeless J as a corpse. • . - - . "These fainting fits came oftener oyery month. Sometimes I had as many as three in a : week. When I came round each time I was all of a shake. My hands were- stone cold, and I was so weak that I could hardly move. A terrible weight seemed to be- lying at my bea.rt, I and I could goi no relief till I had a ,good cry. Next day, I was fit for nothing. .AJI my nerves were on edge, and I was too down-hearted for words. Tho least thing startled me, .and set my heart beating like madl I always felb that the next fainting fit would carry ; me. off. " After doctoring for years, T gave up all 1 hope of ever getting well," added Muss Rohloff. "As the Sundays went by I used to wonder if I would be alivo that day week. I was so thin and weak that it was plain I could not last more than a. few months longer. 'I couldn't bear the thought of dying and leaving all at homo behind me—but I knew I would be better dead. "Fa.tb.er was heart-broken, and used to tell every one how I was dying before his very eyes, and he couldn't find any doctor or medicine that could do me the least good. One day a man told him that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured a young girl a few doors from him when she was going straight into Consumption. Father got six boxes before he came homo that night. They only made me hungry— but every one at homo eaid that I must have .patience, and nob expect wonders in a few days. So 1 kept on. It was a month before I felt them doing ma good in other ways. Then I had to own up that I was ever ho much better. Every da^ I kept gaining in weight and strength. Sometimes a whole fortnight passed and I didn't faint once. The colour came back to my faco, and my cheeks filled out. I ,had no more headaches or backaches, and I always wanted to be helping about the house. After I had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for fonr months, I bnd not had a fainting fit for weeks— rand I have , never had one since. Still I kept on taking "the pills for sue months, till I I was just brimful of life and health. I : weighed over list then, and I haven't j had a 1 day's illness since. ' Mother and j father, and nil the neighbours, will tell ' you that I would be in my grave to-day (but for Dr. Williams' Pink for Pale People." !
