ILL AND WRETCHED AFTER MEALS.

MISERY FROM INDIGESTION EVERY DAY. New Zealand Woman in a weak nm= j down state. Completely cured by j Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 6l gradually became a sufferer from j Indigestion," said- Miss Isabella Thomas, Millar's-street, near Rose-road, Grey Lynn, Auckland. "About an hour after each meal I'd get the most severe pains in the chest, just at the end of the breast bone and running right througli to my shoulder blades. I'd feel as if I ' was on fire inside, and yet there was al- j ways a cold feeling as if I had swallowed a stone. When I drew a breath it was as if I was being cut in two. My tongue was always furred, especially in the mornings and I'd be drowsy and | heavy. I'd get faint turns just as if I>!

were going to swoon, and sometimes I'd go quite dizzy and the room would seem to swim round me. I had to have light food only and especially cooked for me. as it was there were times when t couldn't keep anything down. I'd get no relief till I'd reach up what I had swallov.-ed, and, however light the food was, I got the pains just as badly. I was thoroughly wretched in ray spirits. I lost all my colour, and got as sallow as possible, and thin as well. My heart would palpitate alarmingly with the wind that was round it. I dreaded to eat, and my appetite was always very poor. The attacks after each meal would last fully three hours. I had severe headaches in the forehead and back of the head, and I'd just have to go and lie down. Scalding hot water j would rush up into my throat with a j bitter taste. As to strength I had none. j The doctor treatment did me good only I for a little time. I tried hosts of other i things with the same result. Then 1 j read in a pamphlet left •at the house, ! about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I ' bought some at the chemist's. The first bos. eased me a little, and after I had taken five boxes I'm glad to say all these pains and aches went away. My appetite came back, and some colour returned to my face. My digestion got,, stronger every day. Then chest pains 1 lessened and I lost the sick feeling and I the violent headaches eased off. Soon I was eating quite well and was a different girl, and I picked up all round My mother had spent quite a good w 1 of money in various medicines, but Dr. I Williams' Pink Pills set me on my >j feet."
