LADY SAVED FROM A NASTF FALL.

(Prom a Contemporary.)

The report of a popular young lady’s -es«pe from a nasty accident reached u a just as we were going to press, so a reporter called without delay upon Miss Petrea Peterson at her residence in featberetone for particn- “ I hear, Miss Peterson,” said he, “'that you have been saved from a nasty fall “Yes, indeed,” was the reply: “hut it occurred some time ago Tt was in this way: Suddenly, whilst walking throngh a room, I found myself falling head first to the floor." . "How were you saved from injury? “ Well, I just, had presence of mind enough to clutch the furniture; then I sank down into a chair utterly exhausted. This oc-curm-i several times, for I bad been weak and anaemic and subject to dizziness for several years. My fac 5 was thin and. pale, ray bps bloodless, and I suffered from fearful, throbbing headaches. I could neither eat nor sleep properly. More than once at night I have been taken with cramp in the legs, the stinging, tingling pain causing me to° scream- If I went upstairs my heartpalpitated rapidly and I would have to rest to recover my breath. Sometimes I was too weak to speak. During my illness doctors attended me, but their treatment did not strengthen me. In June. 1897, I saw an advertisement in the ‘ Evening News ’ in which a young lady told how she had been cared of anawnia by Dr Williams’s pink pills for pale people. I sent for a supply, and oven after a few doses felt better. Pom: boxfuls strengthened me greatly; five more cured me. There is no trace of anaemia about me now. lam bright and strong, I sleeo soundly, and my complexion is greatly improved.” The cause of many ailments which afflict women and men is bloodlessness. or anaemia. Insufficient blood leads to a train of symptoms, having indigestion as their immediate cause, such as loss of appetite, pain after eating, biliousness, sluggish liver, headache, etc. Dr ’Williama's pink pills make new blood with every dose, and thus assist young ladies to ■ develop properly and regularly. They strengthen -,.e nerves and ward off the danger of consumption. They have cured cases of rheumausm, neuralgia, bronchitis, consumption, St. Vitus’s dance, rickets, skin diseases, ladies’ ailments, effects of pneumonia, pleurisy, influenza, fevers, etc. SoW by chemists and storekeepers, and the Dr Williams’s Medicine Company, Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Beware of .imitations dyed pink- they are useless, and may be poisonous. —[Advt.]

The recent reduction in the price of the 4lb loaf from 4£d to 4d, it is calculated, means a saving in London’s daily bill of £1,560. In Dunedin we have raised the price, which, as Are are the antipodes, is but fittinsr.
