Face and Lips White and Bloodless — frightful headaches and horrible nervousness — i'eet and ankles pufted vp — niado well and strong by Dlt. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. "When I was about twenty my whole hsfith broke down through my blood biscuming ,poor," said Airsl A. E. Ail- J ken, 107, Harrison-street, Wanganui. I ■'I was that bad with palpitation of the hoait that I could hardly walk,' in fact," 1 hardly vrcnt out a,t all. My face and lips wore white and groat * black rings came under ray eyes. I was horriblj nervous. The least little noise made me jump and started' my nerves tingling hkb mad. ' Nothing could make me go ; out at night by myself. Right on the 1 top of my head it felt as if someone was banging it with a hammer, and as if there wero a weight always there. Often I had to leav& my work and lie down. Very often any feet and ankles were .sp puffed that I could not gat my shoes on. ( I used to feel as if I never wanted to j oat. The- doctor ordered mo to have I sandwiches of raw meat, but I don't think that they did mo much good. Ev- , cry timo aftor eating I had a pasty t tight pain in the chest, jii3t as if tho food had got into a hard lump and would not diyost. The pain lasted for hours, and then I had an attack of vomiting, and threw up everything j again. I was getting weaker every day , and the doctor's medicine was not doing j |me any good. I got very low spirited, i ! for I thought that I was never going to got better. I was always languid and ; tired, and felt as if I could not bo both- • ored with anything. Ths attacks of, I Neuralgia that 1 lml nnarly drove me J mad. A sharp hot stabbing pain shot !up my iacc into my e.n-s. Ofton I j cried out with agony. For days at a j time I used to wander about the house . wondering what to do to got relief. No I mutter what I tried I could not got any I ease. Sometimos I got so giddy that I nearly foil down. All of a sudden everything seemed to swim around, and I had to catch hold of something or elsa I would havo gone down. Everything went black for a time. I was always cold. When I wont to bed I could not sleep much because the palpitation *vas worse 'then. Often 1 had to sit up m bod and fight for my breath, and then I broko out into a perspiration. Then when the attack passed off I ju.st fell back on the pillows utterly exhausted. I droaded getting up time coming round because 1 was so tearfully tired I was always afraid that I had heart di3sase and would drop dead suddenly, but I was so weak and low spirited that 1^ would not have carpd if I had died. Every day I was getting worse, and then a neighbour advised mother to rive me I)r, Williams' Pink Pills. I started on thorn but never thought that th-y would do mo any good, more especially as I was taking thorn for three months bofora I bagan to show any signs of iniprovoment. Then I began to get stronger, and no one knows how happy I felt then. Almost with every dose I could feel my strength returning. I found the palpitation was getting \o,es and the headaches wero going away aUo ! the swellings in my feet, lags, and'hands were going 'down. Tho attacks of Neuralgia were getting less and the pain was not 80 bad.
