BLOOD GOING TO WATER.

i — « — Mrs. Dave Baker, Auckland, Too Weak for Housework Splitting Headaches Back Ached by tho Hour Never a Day Sick Now Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "When I toll you that if I cut my finger is would not bleed, you will know how little blood I had in- my body," said i-lrs. Jjav Biker, Brown St., Ponsonby, Auck md. "For closo on two yeais ray aoalth was wretched, j There were days when I couldn't do a single thing cbout the house. My head i ached until I si.'aply hr.d to give in and I lie down. Across my back there was a dull dragging pain that nothing could ease. I j;ot very nervous about myself, for my Kidnays wero giving me more End more trpnble every day. It was with a poor heart that 1 started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ' for Palo People. I took thesi for two months. By that time there wasn't a thing tho matter with me. It's going oa three years since I left off, but, from that day to this, my health has been perfect. "Before my blood stalled to go to water, I had no cause to grumble about my health," said Mrs. Baiter. "In a few months I seemed to loso all my life. .My head was heavy and I *elt too drowsy to be bothered with anything or anyone. People were always saying how deathly pale I was. There wasn't a bit of colour in my face, not even in my lips. At rimes I looked ghastly. I had hardly any blood at all. All the year round my hands and feet were cold as could be. I had every care, but I got worse instead of better. I was as weak as a, kitten, and was it any-won-der? As soou as I sat down to table my appetite went. It was misery try* ing to force dov.-n even a tiny piece of bread and butter. No matter what I ate, it made me feel ' squeamish. I took ' such a dislike to food, that I often i wished myself • milos away at meal time. ! "Every day it was harder for me to' keep going. I was never without a dull acho all down my legs After standing for ten minutes, I was ready to drop. It was more than I could do lo put one foot before the other. Three and four times in the one morning I nad to lie down and. rest. Often I could not do any work at all xn tho house. Indeed I thought myself lucky on the days when I was able to tidy things up. I daren't try to sweep a room out. In a few minutes I was all out of- breath. My heart thumped and fluttered rill I could j only speak in gasps. My arms shook iigain, and I was glad to throw myself on the couch to keep from fainting. When I was as weak as all this no one could blame me for losing baart. There was never a day passed without me having a fit of the miserables. Often if anyone asked mo how I was, I couldn't answer them. I telt that if I went to speak, I'd break down. Every, nerve in my body was on the tremble. Not two nights in a week did I ever sleep for an hour at a stretcn. I would no sooner 'dose off than I'd wake with a jump. Some nights I tossed from one side of the bed to the other, and never closed my eyes till it was getting day. Then I slept so heavy that I woke with- a tduinping neadacho. "The pain was .all over ray head, but it was worse about my eyes," added Mrs. Baiter. "Every little while sharp pains darted, through my temples. At> times tho top of my head seemed to be lifting off.- Often when sitting still, my brain began to swim, and I nearly toppled off the chair. Some days my sight .was .so bad that I could not see to read. I don't Know how I dragged through it at^all. The pain mmy back was just killing me. Across my kidneys felt bruised. It hurt me to straignten myself. It wasn't only one thing that told me my kidneys were bad. Every hour of the day I was in misery — but m tho mornings I suffered d\ en more. I was so weak and wretched that I .never pictured myself .strong again. I was just able to crawl about and that's all. My feet and ankles puffed up till I couldn't get my shoes on. "I felt that all the medicines that money could bny would never do me any good," Mrs. Baker went on. "But an old friend kept at me to get some Dr. Williams' Pi nit Pills. She took thorn when she was so weak that she used to faint two and three times a week — and they built her up. At last, I sent along to Mrs. Thomas on the Ponsonby Rd., for some. Before many days were out I wa& .hungry for every meal. From that time, I never looked back. When I woke in the mornings I wasn't nearly so tired. I felf. that I wanted to be working about all the time. I kept on with Dr. Williams' Pink PIII3, and was soon rid of my splitting headaches. My face lost its sickly look, and it was plain to everyone that I was making blood every day. By that timo I had token seven boxes, there was no need for me to worry over my Kidneys. For tho first time in uwo years, I was without a headache. I will never bo able to let others know all the good Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me. They cured me, and cured mo for good." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Dave Baker because they went down to the root of tho trouble in her blood. That is why they never fail.
