•J'GIRLS WITH QUEER CRAVINGS ! FONDNESS FOR STARCH, VINEGAR, k ; ~ AND TICKLES. ' A CERTAIN SIGN THAT THE HEALTH IS OUT OF ORDER AND , , ; NEEDS ATTENTION. | r&VCK queer cravings girls and women some*li times have. Good, wholesome food they 1 '•can scarcely look at, but they will eat great ; quantities of starch, vinegar, or pickles. ■ Cravings like these arc one of the comL,'jUWnest symptoms of Anaemia—the condition ' itfAn which people drift when their blood ;''! supply falls below the proper level. In v> Anaemia there is, of course, the customary || [paleness, listlessnoss, headaches, and heart !f| "palpitation, but the gravest danger is the !'.•; weakening of the resisting forces of the body firv'4©other diseases. It is from anaemic one* Ibm&w* epidemics gain their victims and that i 'J,,"recruits for consumption and decline are , ' found. ' The great near* in anaemia is an increased l ?' Wood supply, and for this purpose Dr. Wil- , ■ itams' Pink Pill* for Palo People can be ~' recommended with confidence. They have I | already cured in Australia thousands of 'cases of anaemia; and they actually contain A ingredients that combine with food and air ;( ; to make rich, new blood. Tie case of Mrs. ra| Richards, Bath-street, Parnell, Auckland, >j shows how good they are in curing antenna. : .j .Mrs., Richards, who is a young woman of 2*, '. w»dc the following statement for the benefit ;, o« other sufferers:— Bj?§j "As a young girl I slipped into an ' |»j anaemic state. Every day found my strength VV ■ ■and energy a little less, and my appetite a ; - bit poorer, till at last 1 was hardly eating a '; thing all day, unless I could havo vinegar ~ lon ray food. My mother had oven to hide Hffi&v- bottle, for I "would make vinegar drinks >f<. ..when I could, or else eat lemons. If I got >.. * cut finger the place hardly bled, and then | . only pale fluid trickled out. The blood in I•' jny body got less and less. My gums and «pa turned white, and so did my eyelids. M ' People remarked how dreadfully wasted and ;',->' thin I was, and how pulled down in looks. ;-V, I seemed to fado every day. It was a ' ; trouble to walk any distance. I would start o.m, panting, and lose every bit of breath, and I;/ have to fairly gasp for it. I went to bust- : . ness every day when really 1 was hardly fit •; n to stir out, and I got home fairly tired and ' worn-out, and thankful to sit down at once. ;, . I was tired every hour of the day, and felt ",so wretchedly low-spirited. My mother ■>"' ; would not. know what to do for me. for I ;'•*..' was the only one, and she naturally was ,;i j worried. I was always headachy and lowspirited. I was always nervous and excit- ,«< able, too. Fainting turns came on, and I ;.?i-.' ; -.'Would be out of one and into another. My . ' feet and hands were quite cold, for the Wood did not circulate. I ached all over in ; • every joint and bone. Neuralgia came on IB both sides of my face, and settled there, ; ' »nd it nagged and burned for hours. For- ' Innately I found a cure in Dr. Williams' i l , v. rink Pills. They began to make my blood - ( *rich and tone up my nerves, and I kept on gradually improving" in strength and appetite ' till at last. I was able to finish the „ * j,v course. They also proved of benefit to my mother, Mrs. Benslev." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by chemists and storekeepers, or sent by mail. jest paid on receipt of price 3s per box, six |g»Jpxes. 16s 6d, by the Dr. Williams* Medicine *-0.. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington^ ■^o¥h : \ '~ .'."■' .'",■■■.', . ■ "-■■' ' - ■■■ '
