INVALID. AT 19. WASTING- AWAY FOR THREE YEAR& PALE, WEAK AND BLOODLESS LIZZIE LLOYD, OF NORMANBY STRONG AND HEALTHY AGAIN DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. “ From the time I turned sixteen till long after my nineteenth, birthday,’ I was never done ailing,” -said Lizzie Lloyd,, daughter of Mr Thomas Lloyd. of Norraaby, Taranaki. "For over three years my blood had been gradually turning to water. Often I was bo weak that I couldn’t walk the length of-.tho dining-room, without catching hold of tha table and chairs. Some days I was too sick and helpless to get up out of bed. There Iwould lie all day long, with a splitting bilious headache. Mother used to say our house was nothing better than a'Hospital. - For -years father had been in bad health, and was always doctoring. - He kept getting weaker till he tried Dr Williams’ 1 Pink;Pills for Pale People—and- thev built him up like magic. When they cured him, he gob soma for me. Six months after I started them; no one took me to be the same girl. There was a good colour in my cheeks,, and I was just full of life. For more than lour years I have been'so well that I haven’t had as much as a backache. ■ • • “Often I heard mother say what a healthy looking girl I was before I turned sixteen, said Miss Lloyd, “ but from that time, I was never the same for two days running. When I wen to bed at night I never knew whether I would get up the next morning with i splitting headache or not. Nearly every week P had a bilious attack. From daylight till dark, I was too sick to lift my head. Every time I moved, my head felt as if it would hurst. Flashes of light used to dart before my eyes, and everything in the room looked blurred. One minute. I was in a burning fever—and the next, I was shivering. Bead* of perspiration broke out all over me. Fo> nearly a quarter-of-an-hour, I brought uj nothing but bile. With every lit of vomiting, Mother had to sit and hold my head. I was weaker than a baby. “Gradually X began to break down altogether,” Miss Lloyd added. “My face showed how weak and watery my. blood was. All my colour wont. and. left me looking _ like ai chronic invalid. Even my lips were b.cached. My cheeks' fell in, and there was a deep black shadow all round my eyes. My feet .were like blocks of ice. and my hands were just as cold. Month after month, I was never rid of a terrible dragging backache. Every scran of life loft me. I- was utterly down-hearted, and never wanted to speak to anyone. All I longed for was to sit by myself and 101 l about the house from one day’s end to another. “ I did my best to shake off this utter weak feeling—but it was no good. If I only-gave mother a hand with the beds. I had to sit down to get my breath. My heart thumped mid throbbed till I thought it would burst. My heart must have been dreadfully weak. If I tried to hurry, I had to stop with the awful pain that caught me in the loft side. Soon I got so bod that I couldn’t walk from one end of the house to the other. I took no end of iron tonics, but they didn’t make one ounce of blood for me. X got worse instead of better. At night I could never sleep. I used to toss about for hours. Often, when it was just breaking day, I would drop into a troubled doze—but only to wake again with a racking, nervous headache. For the rest of the day I was fit for' nothing. My nerves were strung to such n» pitch that I couldn t> bear to hear even the tea-cups rattling at meal-time. I was so utterly weak and sick that I often longed for Death, “ ’When I turned eighteen, I was such an invalid that mv friends gave up all hope. Miss Lloyd added. “But I lingered on for Ibo next twelve months. Then father got mei some Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Palel People. When they had cured him, after ho had been doctoring for five years, he said they wore hound to do me good. Three weeks after starting them, mother said I was eating threo times as well as I did. .Little by little, the colour camo back to my cheeks and lips. Every day I grew stronger. When I got up in the morning, my head was clear and my back gave mb very little trouble. My heart - r rew stronger,, and X started to be some help hi the house. I can bo on the go all day now, and never feel tired. I kept on with Dr Williams’ Pink Pills till I finished eighteen boxes. By that time I was in perfect health. It'’s four years last May since J was cured —hut all that time I haven’t had a single thing the matter with me.” Remember, Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People actually make new blood—nothing more.
