IN A DEADLY DECLINE.

SAVED JUST IN TIME BY

DR. WILLIAMS' (PINK PILLS.

" When I entered my teens, it would have been hard to find a stronger girl anywhere," said Miss Stella Rohloff, Lo Cren's Terrace, Le Oren-strect, Timaru. " Soon after 1 turned 15, I started to fade away, -and the only thing that saved me from the grave was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I took them for six months, and it is just wonderful the way they built ma up. When I. started them, I was a skeleton— I weighed list 41b, when 1 knocked them off. . " My blood must have been overtaxed, for I grew pale and weak," added Miss Rohloff. "I had no life, and just went about the house in a half-dazed way. Mother never dreamed I was so bad. She used to get annoyed, and toll me that I gave way too much. I wouldn't let her know that there were times when I had hardly the strength to put one foot before the other. I would no::- give in till one day, yhen I was helping her, I staggered to the sofa, and fell back in a dead'faint. That was a terrible, shock to them all. The doctor was sent for, and ho said I fainted from sheer weakness and want of blood ~ "'She will need every care, Mrs 1 , Rohloff, were his last words to'mother. 'The least chill might end in her Death. She has hardly enough blood ill her body to keep her alive as it is.' ' " I didn't look as it' I had any blood, for I was the colour of Death," Miss Rohloff went on. "My lips and gums were almost purple. My checks fell in, and my eyes sank away back in my head. I was a ghastly sight. Every few" weeks great dark circles came under my eves, showing what a terrible state my health was in. The doc-tot' sent mo medicine, and mother did her best to build me up with good food and no end of care— but, in spite of everything, 1 kept going down, down, down. _ ''Soon I was nothing but an invalid. 1 had not the energy to do a hand's turn. In fact, I had not the strength. My back was never done aching, and my head felt as if it would burst. When those headaches came on I could not lie still for two minutes. 1 grew restless, and could not get rid ot tho feeling that something dreadful was going to happen. Then suddenly my head would Mart to swim, and all the Wood in my body leaned to rush to my face. The next minute I was stretched on the floor in a dead faint, as lifeless as a corpse. "These fainting fits came oftener every month. Sometimes I had as many as three n a week. When I came round each tune I as all of a shake. My bauds were stone cold and I was so weak that I could hard move a muscle. A terrible weight seemed to be lying at my heart and I could got no relief till I had a good cry. Next day, I was fit. for nothing. All my nerves were on edge, and I felt too downhearted for words, lno lea ling startled me and, my heart Sing like mad. I always fell that the next fainting fit would carry me off " After doctoring for years I gave una l hope of ever getting well," added Miss ItohX "As the Sundays wont by! used to wonder if I would bo alive that day week.
