TOO WEAK TO WORK.
HOW FRANK HODSON WAS CURED BY ; ' DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
"My stomach made me live a mighty wretched life for three years, says, ***; Frank Hodson, farmer, of Taranaki. Day and night I was beset with indigestion and all the misery that word means. Whatever I ate seemed to turn to lead, and lay like a load on my stomach. Sharp, piercing pains shot through my chest, and wind seemed to clog my heart. At last my stomach rebelled and the lightest meal wouldn t stay down. I nearly starved myself to avoid the pain 'and distress. I gave up all vegetables for fear they might upset me, but I eouldn t have suffered worse if I had tucked into everything. I got like a skeleton, and was too weak to do a hand's turn on the farm. The people about always had some new cure. ! One particular friend told me to take brandy, but even that didn't settle my stomach. 1 swallowed quarts of medicines and common tonics that didn't do me a bit of good. At last I read how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured- all stomach troubles because they actually made new blood, and •that gave the stomach strength to digest one's food. As Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were about the only thing I hadn't tried I go! 'Some at once from Teed, the Palmerston chemist. They began to set me right at once. My appetite braced up so much the first fortnight that l was really ashamed of it. I didn't suffer half what I used to after my meals', and I felt better in fifty ways. Of course, I wasn't such a fool as to expect two or three boxes to cure me after I had been knocked up for three years, so l got another supply from Mr. West, the dealer in Tataraimaka. That did the trick. Before J. finished my last box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I ate like »', horse and never suffered a pain. They cleared out every trace cvgrthmhuk« indigestior and '-biliousness. It'? year- since I felt as well as I do to-day, thanks entirely to the fact that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tilled me with new, pure, rich, red blood." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ior Pale People ■ cure indigestion because it is caused by the '* blood being toe weak to digest the food in the stomach. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood, as Mr. Hodson said, and so strike right at the root of the trouble. Ir. the same way they cure ail other blood diseases like anaemia (bloodlessness), pimples, eczema, scrofula, gout, rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney trouble, failing powers and the secret ailments which women do not care to talk about. Of course it is only the genuine N.Z. pills that cure. There is no longer need to warn sensible people that foreign substitutes in glass bottles and worthless imitations sold in bulk never cured anything. The genuine N.Z. pills are always • in boxes—never in bottles. If a dealer tries to take you down with something "just us good" write lor the genuine kind that cure to Dr. Williams' medicine co., <J.d Customs House-street, Wellington a box, six boxes I6s 6cl, post free.
