BLOOD THIN AND WATERY. MRS. CATHERINE SHIRLEY. UTTERLY RUN DOWN. ANOTHER INYERCAIUHLL CUKE. DR. WILLIAMS' FINK PILLS. •' I LOOK the very picture of health to-day and 1 have only Dr. Williams' Pink Tills to thank for that. They built me up when my blood was all turning to water. Since then my health has been perfect," said Mrs. Catherine Shirley, wife of Mr. Percy Shirlev, railway clerk, Ann-street, lnvercargill, N.Z. " It was when we were living in Dunedin, two years ago, that I first got ill," said Mrs. Shirley. " 1 was heartily sick of people telling me how pale- 1 was. i had only to look in the glass to see how bloodless my lips and gums were. My face was sallow, ana tlwre were heavy rings round my eyes. My face was drawn, ana I looked old and wretched. 1 can tell you, I felt as ill as I looked. The doctor hadn't, to look at me a second time to tell me that my blood was all turning to water. Winter and Summer my feet and hands were always cold and clammy. 1 hadn't a scrap ol strength in me. In the morning 1 got up feeling tired before the day began. Try how I would, I could not pull myself together.' How I dragged through the day I don't know. Often I grew dizzy with the noises in my head. A mist came over my eyes, and everything became blurred. My heart fluttered and throbbed till I had 10 stop and gasp for breath. 1 couldn't even make my own bed without, stopping half-a-dozen times to rest. 1 never knew what it was to feel well for an hour.

"My appetite failed altogether. The very thought of food made me sick. Sometimes i forced myself to eat a little, but 1 was. always sorry afterwards. Something tightened round my heart and almost smothered. Hot bitter water came into my mouth, stinging and scalding my throat. 1 was so dull and hgavy after food that I ached to lie down : but when I did. I couldn't, draw a proper breath. At last 1 couldn't bear the .sight of food. "The doctor told mo I was utterly run down and suffering from poverty of blood," went on Mrs. Shirley. "He gave me a bitter tonic with quinine and iron in it. 1 took the whole lot, but 1 might as well have saved my money—it didn't do me a .scrap of good. 1 dragged on, going from bad to worse. I shall never forget the dragging ache all down my back—it was a pain L could never get away from. It seemed to set, all my nerves on edge. If my husband spoke suddenly to me I jumped and quivered all over. He was always wauling me to go out with him, but I hadn't the heart to get dressed. Even if people came to see mc, I felt as if it was almost too much trouble to be civil to thorn. I hadn't any" interest in life, and nothing seemed worth while. The weariness I felt was worse than actual pain. I was only a girl of twenty-one, but 1 felt like an old woman. 1 often wished that 1 could die and end it all.

"When we moved to Invercargill 1 was m ill as a woman could be. One day I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the paper. I thought I'd try them, and bought a box from a chemist in the town. To tell you the truth, 1 didn't expect them to do me much good. I didn't see how they could when the doctor's medicine had failed. After a few closes, however, I noticed a change. Instead of hating the sight of food. 1 was ready for mv meals and enjoyed thorn- J soon felt better and brighter", and lost my hopeless feeling. Every day I gained ground. 1 slept well, and woke up feeling fresh. li whs just, heavenly to be rid of the dragging backache- and the sick tired feeling. I began to take an interest in tilings about me, and to go cut and about. When people meet mo and say how well I am looking, 1 tell them it's all due to Dr. William.-,' P£ik 1*11151." ■ , „ .
