HEADACHES ALL HER LIFE.

MRS. C. MOODY, BROKEN HILL. THIRTY YEARS OF AGONY. THROBBING, BILIOUS HEADACHES. -' BRAIN BURSTING WITH FAIN. . CURED FOR GOOD. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. "UNTIL I lifted my head from the pillow I never knew whether a. splitting headache would lay me up all day or not," said Catherine Moody, of Gossan-streeJ, Broke Hill - "For close on 30 years my health was "one long misery. There were months at a stretch when I was not fit to do a day a work in the house. I never found anything that did me an atom of good till tried Di. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It took nearly two dozen boxes of them to cure me—but they cured me for good. • "Even as a child, when we first lived in Adelaide, I suffered from these headaches said-Mrs. Moody. "The older I grew the worse they got. Afterwards, when we were living up in Port Augusta and Petersburg, I hardly ever had an hour free- from agony. They had to send, mo away for a change every few months, for that was the only thing that gave me any ease. But the_headaches were as bad as ever before I was .homo a month. I always knew when a bad 11 day was in store for me. As soon as 1 went i to get up in the morning my head started to swim and a pain shot through my left temple. It always caught me there first, and I dreaded that pain like death. _ "No one knows what a struggle it. was for me to get through a little housework. There wasn't a bone in my body that didn t ache. I was too weak to drag my .feet after me. As sure as I tried to sweep out the diningroom my heart jumped and fluttered like mad. My breath came in short gasps, and I was ready to faint. I couldn't tackle anything out of the way but it laid me up for days with a raging headache. All my life I had nothing but sicknoss and pain, and often I felt I would be better dead. I used to cry for half the night out of sheer downhcartedness. My nerves got into such a bad state that I could not. sleep. "I lay there listening for every little noise about the place. Even in the daytime a knock at the door made my heart stop beating with the fear that it was some awful news. I was nothing but a wreck— I looked it. My face was the colour of Death. Sometimes I didn't touch a' mouthful of food all day. When I did force something down it gave me a heavy burning feeling across my chest. Three or four times every day a sick turn came over me. I was as bilious as I could be. If I stooped down to brush the hearth my ears started to ring and a mist came over my eyes. All the blood rushed ..to my brain, and everything in the room whirled round and round. Down I went in a heap on the floor, too sick to put out a hand to save myself. ■ '"After one of those bad turns my poor head ached till I thought it would burst," Mrs. Moody went on. "I coudn't-bear to have the blind up, for the light drove me mad when it got into my eyes. The pain was fearful. It kept shooting through the left side of my head and across my forehead. You couldn't imagine what a ; state I was in. Often I was laid up in bed for three days in the week. As soon as I raised -myself up on my elbow my head began to buzz with a noise for all the world like a sawmill. -Above my eyes there was a heavy, throbbing ache like someone hammering on my very brain. I didn't know which way today my head for a little ease. The agony was awful. It could not have been worse if someone was slowly prying the top of my head off. Then, all of a sudden, a pain shot through my temples like a spike driven clean through my head. I gave one scream, and foil back on the pillow. , r " When I was up in Aldgate, visiting my sister, Mrs. Barns, she got me half-a-dozen boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," added j Mrs. Moody. Before the third box was done I was eating everything in front of me at meal time. From that out I kept on the mend. The pain eased up, and days went by without me having a headache at all. When I came down to Adelaide again I got a fresh supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from Mrs. Wells, who" has a shop.in Lindsay's Circus, Hindmarsh. Little by little they built me up till I was just brimful of health. It was slow work, and it took 21 boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to cure me—but. in the end, I was better than ever I. was in my life before. From that mo on I have never onco had a bilious headache, so that proves that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me for good." • Dr. - Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, hut they do it well—they' actually make new blood. They don't act on the bowels. They don't tinker with mere symptoms. They won't, cure any disease that isn't caused originally by bad blood.
