ASTHMA. .

J BREATH CAME IN GASPS. >| .■' HACKING COUGH. 1!' "YOU'LL NEVER GET ; BETTER." I - WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID. ' >■ ■ * • CURED AT LAST. •.. i ; I DR. WILLIAMS' . PINK PILLS. , ! "Mr Doctor told m©'straight- out. that -I'd !• never get any better. That was seven-years ', ago, and to-day my health is perfect. Dr. , Williams' Pink Pills did for m© what one of . th© best .doctors in Victoria couldn't .do---." they cured me of Asthma and r Throat trouble, when I'd suffered for years,".v said ' Mrs. Jane ■ Duck, of Rosedalc, Victoria.3 ; - ,"■/•■" "My" throat was always choked up with ' phlegm," added Mrs. Duck,;" it ; was ■'■ all that I could do to draw'a breath. My '~ ' voice was • very husky, ■ and sometimes v I • could hardly speak—it was a regular croak. ( : Across ray chest, it felt tight as if I was strapped in. Oh, it was a horrible feeling! ■ '' j There seemed to be an iron band round' my ' throat, getting tighter and tighter, and all 1 .-'} the while something• inside > seemed to be: ' J swelling up and trying to burse the band. ; ff.That's the only way I can- describe it/ At i times I would nearly choke. The pain was ' - something fearful, and nothing I could do . j gave me any relief. I had the greatest dif- . ' fidufty in - breathing, and my breath : came i in gasps as if I were being strangled. I i "The wheezing in my' chest was painful to hear. Sometimes at night I couldn't sleep; for it. I daren't lie down for ;: fear of choking. When I-i drew , a breath, \ you could hear me wheezing ; all over the house. And as -for my cough oh, that was the cruellest thing of all. to' bear. *■ It*racked mo to pieces, and • after an • attack I Uva-s eomi pletely done up. I just lay back, fit for i nothing. My head throbbed ready to burst, . and I felt quite diezy. Queer _ noises sounded in my ears,* like bells ringing, While a ' fit of coughing lasted the agony was excru- • dating-— can't find any other word to fit . it. It felt for all the world as if somebody : was dragging a lot.-of fish-hooks up and down inside ,my J; chest." I often ; fancied I ' could feel the lining of my .chest tearing i clean away when I, coughed-like that.; It's a miracle to me that'l didn't burst a bloodvessel when I had one of - those violent at- ' . tacks. ' "'"' - ■" * ' ' ' " The doctor 'had been treating me,for a j good six months. Ho never;would '.tell me what he thought was the matter with me, " and I worried /dreadfully, for his medicine didn't do me any good at all. At last he told me' I'd never get bettor. f Well, I had • my husband and the children to think . about, and;this news upset me awfully. I ■ folt-so. utterly hopeless and miserable that I ! didn't know what to do with myself. Then i one day, I read about Dr. t Williams' : Pink . i pills'curing a bad case of Asthma." ~ That ' { was a Victorian case too, so of course I was j interested. : Anyhow I thought I'd try '■ j them, and got some from' Mr. Williams, th© ; !; Roscdale storekeeper. . I must : have taken is quite four boxes before I felt any the bet- ; ter for them. Then I could, feel that they . | were doing me good, and it gave me heart " to go on with them. Five boxes I took al- ! together, and then I was completely cured. 1 . I hadn't a sign of Asthma left, and for .the ' seven years I've had the best of health. '. If it hadn't been for Dr. Williams' Pink '. Pills, I might have been lying in ray grave ' long before this—they did "what the doctor I couldn't —they cured me." . Got the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People— 3s a box, six boxes 16s 6d, from all chemists and storekeepers, or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams' i Medicine Co., Wellington. Write for hints I as to diet, etc.
