LADY ALMOST SUFFOCATED

j From Comet, a township near RockI hampton, Queensland, come particulars ! a strange event of which a correspon- | dent writes: “Mrs O. Neilson, a wellI known and highly-respected resident of Comet, lias given the following true j story for publication;—“One day,” said | she, “almost without warning, I found ' I could not get my breath, and I almost suffocated. When at last the attack : subsided, my face was corpse-like in its j pallor, and my limbs were icy cold. A j doctor was called in and I was told I j was a victim to asthma. Subsequently, j I had to be taken to the hospital, and i there had the best of attention night and day, but, unfortunately, I was not benefited.” I “The attacks were, no doubt, esjjecially violent,” said the reporter. “They were. When a spasm came on I used to sit up with rounded back, fixed chest and raised shoulders, grasping a chair for support, but, notwithstanding my violent efforts, very little air would enter or leave my lungs; the struggle for breath was terrible, and great exhaustion followed. Then bronchitis set in, causing feverishness, and pam and tightness on the chest. I went to the hospital once more, and I was told I was also Anaemic. Severe headaches and dizziness now added to my troubles, and, despite every attention, I got little relief. Then someone induced me to try Dr. Williams’s pink pills for pale people. It is only the truth to say that several boxes comcpletely cured me. Since then I have not had the least trouble from asthma, bronchitis or anaemia. My blood is rich and red, and I look and feel healthv and happy.” The causes of asthma are various, j Indigestion, nervous exhaustion and dampness assist its development; so does anaemia. Dr. Williams’s pink pills, by enriching the blood, toning up the nerves, and strengthening the spine, build up the constitution, and "enable it to resist the inroads of nearly all diseases; thus these reliable tonic • pills cure skin diseases, rickets, liver and : kidney troubles, debility, anaemia, dysi popsia, St. Vitus’ dance, hysteria, ef--1 foots of dengue fever and ague, etc. i Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by tlie Dr. Williams’s Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
