MRS ALLEN, CHRISTCHURCH. ‘ BLOOD NO BETTER THAN WATER. WASTING AWAY FOE TWO YEARS. TO-DAY A PICTURE OP HEALTH. DR WILLIAMS’ PINK' PILLS. “Looking at me to-day you would never think that two yearn ago I was on the verge of a. decline,” said Mrs Bessie Allen, 54 Caledonian road, Christchurch, “My blood started to go to water,.and I wasted away till I was nothing better than a skeleton. Everyone who came to the house said how deadly ill I looked. It was no use trying to build up my strength, for T couldn’t keep any food down on my stomach I got weaker and weaker, till my whole health went to pieces. My nerves were all on edge, and I grew too downhearted for words. That was the state I was in when I started to take Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. In a month I was a different creature. Six boxes of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills made me on© of the healthiest wopca in Christchurch. “It is going on for four yeans since I started to break down,” said. Mrs Aden. “Every month my blood grew weaker and poorer. My face turned sallow. My lips and gums were almost bln© for want of blood; I bated to look in the glass—my face was so drawn and haggard. My eyes had great dark circles under them, and they'were sunk away back in my head. My feet were like blocks of- ice, • and my hands were every bit as cold. I - got thinner every week, till I was little mono than skin and bone. “People kept telling me what I ought to take to make me fat and build mo up again—but they little knew how bad I really was. My tongue was all coated, and I oonld never get rid of the vile taste in my mouth. It was ad very well tolling mo to eat this and eat that—but I hated the very sight of food. W&en I did force myself to ■cat anything it lay like lead underneath my breastbone, mid gave me no end of pain. Even, a biscuit or a cup of water’ tuiued sOur on my stomach, and set me vomiting. That took every atom of strength I had. “ I was hardly, ever free from bilious headaches,” Mi’s Allen went on bo say. “They never left me from the time I got np till I went to bed. The strain soon told on my nerves. I was always irritable. My dearest friend bored me. I wanted to bo alone all tire time, for I was always on the verge of tears, and fancied there was some great trouble hanging over me. At night i was too nervous to sleep. I just tossed from side to side. Every little while I kept thinking I could hear strange footsteps about Every hour seemed as loim as three. It was often halfway through the night before I dropped off to sleep. In the morning I got up too weak and tired bo stand. I started every day with a dull, heavy feeling and all out of sorts. I was so nervous that my own shadow frightened me. The least sound mad© mo jump and set my heart thumping like mad. - Any little excitement sent a flush and a cold shiver over mo. I was so ill and wretched that I never knew the day when I would have to take to my bed and - never got up again. • . “No one can understand how wretched and ill I was unless they have gone through the same themselves. At times my legs were too shaky to hold me. I couldn't stand for any length of time. Alter setting the din nerd able, I had to sit down, and rest. My. breath went, and a smothering feeling came over me. Next thing my heart started to flutter and race, and J. got all of a tremble. Wlienevcr I tried to hurry I had to stop with the pain that caught me in the left side. Soon I gob t>o bad that it was a struggle for me to walk a few steps. Without any warning my bead started to swim, and then I was down in a half-faint. “ For two weary years I dragged along in this awful plight,” added Mjs Alien. “People told me of all sorts of things to do me good—but I tried them, all and they were all worthless.
