“MARIE” ON HOUSEWORK

“Women who find housework a worry” (writes “Marie” in one of her “Home” articles) should not treat it as a necessary evil, but should fit themselves to

do it to perfection. Then it is easy instead of irksome/ A practical woman, whose life has much in it to encourage wives and mothers, talks interestingly on the same subject. “House - work used to be a terrible trial. I was often very ill and nervous,” said this lady, Mrs Mary Maher, of Kaiwarra, Wellington, “and but for Dr Williams’ pink pills I could do no housework today. Years ago serious internal troubles made me almost an invalid, and a hospital operation did not mend matters. My nervous system was left completely shattered. Often X w r as all

in a tremble. At the least sudden sound my heart seemed to jump into my mouth and then stop still. At other times it often throbbed so violently that I was afraid X would drop dead. I lost weight, and grew very pale. X was always weak and weary—a victim to headaches, and (unable to sleep properly at night. Then X read in the ‘Wellington Post’ of Dr Williams’ pink pills, and Mr Maher made me begin taking them. Now X know positively from my own personal experience, that they are just the finest blood builder and nerve tonic in the world. They actually make new blood. Two boxes did me a world of good. Several more boxes completely braced up jtny shattered nerves, made plenty of rich, red blood for me, and gave me a healthy appetite again. Now I sleep soundly at night, and I have gained in weight. My complexion has improved greatly, and I am a different woman altogether.” These pills are really the grandest medicine in the world for the cure of anaemia, indigestion, debility, liver and kidney troubles, and all the headaches, pains and backaches that afflict women, regularly or otherwise. They don’t merely lessen the symptoms of disease —they actually root out tire cause of the trouble. Being a bloodbuilder and nerve they cure all blood and nerve disorders, such as hysteria, nervousness, neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, spinal weakness, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, failing powers, decline, and even consumption, when taken in time. Their worth has been fxroved a hundred times by New Zeaanders in Auckland Nelson, Dunedin and Invercargill. “No housewife,” said Mrs Maber in conclusion, “takes greater pleasure than I do now in working about the home and keeping things straight.
