A GIRL SAVED FROM THE GRAVE.

‘'l am 19 years of age,” said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Peatherston, North Island, New Zealand, to'a press representative who interviewed her last month, “ and since I was 15 I have been suffering, more or less. I had acute palpitation of. the heart, which was brought about by anaemia or bloodlessness, to which I was. long'a martyr. Whenever I ran upstairs my heart would thump violently against my sides, and I would be quite speechless for several moments until I recovered my breath. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation. I was always in a weak, low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would at times swell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I grew worse and worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused me to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctors, but they gave no relief. I also, consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I, suffered. Having almost giveh up my-, case - as hopeless;’ T one' day' moticied an advertisement for Dr Williams’ Pink'Pills for Pale People in the “Evening Post.’' Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking them strictly according to directions. After the third dose I found a change for the better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine boxes, and am now in every way in the most per- - feet health. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and the affection in my eye has likewise ! ceased. As there has been no recurrence nf at all during the past four months, it is evW dent that my cure is a permanent, one. Tha pills have absolutely cured -me, and I will always keep some of them by ••me. I feel fit for ray work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried'several; boxes herself. I am awfully thankful ; to them, and I have recommended them-to all. m t friends. Four of them speak exactly as I do of the Pills, and cannot praise them too highly. lam well known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case with interest. You can use this testimonial in any way you desire.” Dr Williams’ Pink Fills for JPale People are not a patent medicine, but are a thoroughly scientific preparation, the result of years'of careful study <m the part of an eminent Edinburgh University physician, and they were successfully used by him in hia everyday practice for years before being of- . fered for general sale.
