THE SUFFERINGS OF A MARRICKVILLE LADY.

HER TRIALS ABOUT TO OVERWHELM HER WHEN DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS RESCUE HER. ENDURED TEARS OF TORTURE FROM INDIGESTION AND.DYSPEPSIA. Mrs Edwards, a most intelligent and kindly lady (wife of the caretaker of the Marrickville Town Hall), has for a long time been a victim to indigestion of an aggravated character. She very courteously received a representative, and gave him an account of her ailments and their cure. In answer to his first question, she said: —

“ What you have heard is quite true. I have been suffering for years from indigestion and dyspepsia.” “Will you be good enough to describe your symptoms?” “ Well, first of all I suffered from sleeplessness, ringing noises in my head, and an overbearing pain at my chest. Furthermore, my appetite failed, and all that would rest on my stomach was soft food, such as milk and arrowroot. But what alarmed me most was the way my heart would go pit-a-pat on the very slightest exertion. I can assure you if I walked a quarter of a mile these distressing symptoms would come on. This frightened me very much, for I feared I was suffering from heart disease. As to the remedies I swallowed, why their name is legion, but, unfortunately, no good effects resulted, and I feared my troubles were neither to be cured por alleviated. I consequently began to feel very low and depressed.” “It is no wonder you felt low and depressed, Mrs Edwards. Sleeplessness alone, when it becomes chronic, is sufficient to deprive one of reason. Ringing noises in the head, too, you- must have experienced trouble from,.as deafness in some degree is rarely unassooiated with them. Severe heavy, pain at the chest is always a marked si on of indigestion ; and loss of appetite, the surest proof of the existence of something wrong, is frequently linked to it. You must indeed have had a severe trial, but to continue with your story.” “ One day I read of some cures effected by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and indeed it proved a joyous day for me. I determined to try a few boxes of this specific, bought them, and commenced to take them according to the directions which I noticed were around each box. After the first two boxes I felt a decided improvement, and decided to continue with this medicine. As I persevered with the treatment I made satisfactory progress. “You said that your heart gave you considerable anxiety, Mrs Edwards.” “ Yes) I was afraid it was diseased, and I’m glad to find I was mistaken. It took a little time to pull me together again, for you must remember 1 had sunk very low; but I am happy to state that I am fairly on my feet again, and am so satisfied that this cure has been effected by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People that I have recommended them to all my friends. Yes, you are at perfect liberty to publish this testimonial, for I consider it a duty that I owe to the world at large.” (Signed) JANE EDWARDS. Anyone with a particle of sympathy in his composition will readily concede that life under the circumstances narrated in Mrs Edwards’ case is a failure, and death holds little terror for one so situated. Imagine even such an existence, and the thought brings terror with it. It is like bearing a heavy load with little strength to manage it, consequent upon the denial of food and sleep. No wonder the heart rebels and seems determined upon bursting bounds.

Dr Williams’ Pink Pills also cure such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, the after .effects of la grippe, influenza and .severe colds, diseases , depending on humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising-from mental, worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. These pills are not purgative. They are genuine only with the full name. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People, and are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams’ Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward, post paid, on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half-dozen for 15s fid. They are unrivalled as a tonic for both sexes.
