THOSE ENDLESS STAIRS

ONE SIGN OF DEADLY ANAEMIA. DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS.

“Every time X went up stairs I felt that I might drop dead from heart disease before X got to the top, says iVLi-s Mary Murphy, or Feathers to n, near Wellington. “They seemed to be absolutely endless. A few few steps would leave me gasping for breath with my heart jumping and thumping like mad. That shows you what a terrible state of health I was in. I’m all right now, thank goodness, but I have to thank Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for. that.”

This trouble in going up stairs is one of the surest signs of deadly Anaemia and, remember, every case of Consumption begins with a simple case of Anaemia. When the blood is weak and watery, the lungs have no strength. The whole system begin to break down. Then the

growing girl slips slowly into a Decline, until at last the Cough starts and her doom is sealed! Many a life might be saved from Consumption every month, if these simple cases of Anaemia were treated promptly Dr Williams’ Pink Pills can cure them all without the slightest doubt or difficulty. Anaemia is just the doctors’ name for bloodlessness —and Dr Williams’ Pink Pills actually make, new blood. They cure Anaemia just as food cures hunger. i was a girl, I lived in QueensHand/’ said Mrs Murphy, who is one of the youngest married women in Featherston, “and the long hot summers there left me weak and worn. The doctor said my blood was turning to water. He made me eat lots of fruit and dosed me with medicine —but I kept growing worse. I could hardly drag myself about the house. As for the stairs, 1 dreaded them like Death. But, like other women, I tried to struggle on, beeping most of my sufferings to myself. No one will ever know what unspeakable misery I went through at regular periods. “My face was a deadly white/’ Mrs Murphy went on. “My lips were almost blue. Great dark rings came ■under'my eyes, and made them look twice their size. My appetite vanished, and every day I grew thinner and weaker. My back used to ache by the hour, If I did a little washing, the pain across my loins nearly made me cry. I was always irritable and down-hearted. Sometimes my head used to swim with dizziness and I never knew when I would go off in a faint. If a door slammed, it would set my heart in a flutter. My nerves simply went to pieces. I lost all interest in life, and always felt as if something dreadful'was going to happen. “When doctors and everything else failed, my friends made me give Dr Williams’ Pink Pills a trial/’ added Mi’s Murphy, “and, honestly, they saved my life. „ The first thing they did was to give me a ravenous appetite, and I seemed to get some good out of everything I ate. Soon I began to pick up weight and strength. I got a splendid colour, and any* amount of energy for my house-work. Gradually all my nervousness and heart disease left me. After six weeks I could hardly believe I was the same woman. There wasn’t a sign of Anaemia about me. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills cured me like magic—and they cured me for good, too, for I have had the best of health ever since.”

Dr Williams’ Pink Pills will cur© any case o>f b lood lessness just as surely as they cured Mrs Murphy, of Featherston. A pale, anaemio person needs one thing only—new blood. Dr Williams’ Pftnk Pills do one thing only—they make new blood. That is all they do, but they do it well. They don’t act on the bowels. They don’t bother with mere symptoms. They won’t cure any disease that isn’t caused originally by bad blood. But, when Dr Williams' Pink Pills re-place bad blood with good blood, they strike straight at the root and causo of all common diseases like headaches, sideaches, backaches, kidney trouble, liver complaint, biliousness, indigestion, anaemia, neuralgia, sciatica, locomotor ataxia and the special secret troubles that every woman knows but that none of them like to talk about, even to their doctors.
