IN A DEADLY DECLINE

SAVED JUST IN TIME BY DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS

’'When I entered my teens, it would have been hard to find a stronger girl anywhere,” said Miss Stella Rohloff, Le Cren’s terrace, Le Cren street, Timaru. “Soon after I turned fifteen, I started to fade away, and the only thing that saved me from the grave was Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I took them for six months, and it is just Avonderful the way they built me up. When I started them, I was a skeleton — but I weighed list 41b when I knocked them off.

“My blood must have been overtaxed, for I greAV pale and weak,” added Miss Rohloff. “I had no life, and jnst Avent about the house in a half-dazed way. Mother never dreamed I was so bad. She used to get annoyed, and tell me that I gave Avay too much. I wouldn’t let her know that there Avere times when I had hardly the strength to put one foot before the other. I would not give in till one day, when I was helping her, I staggered to the sofa, and fell back in a dead faint. That was a terrible shock to them all. The doctor was sent for, and he said I fainted from sheer weakness and want of blood.

“ ‘She will - need every care. Mrs Rohloff,’ were his last words to mother. ‘The least chill might end in her Death, She has hardly enough blood in her body to keep her alive as it is.’ “I didn’t look as if I had any blood for I was the colour of Death,” Miss Rohloff Avent on. “My lips and gums were almost purple, My cheeks fell in, and my eyes sank away back in mj head. I Avas a ghastly sight. Every feAv AA r eeks great dark circles came under my eyes, showing Avhat a terrible state my'health Avas in. The doctor sent me medicine, and mother did her beßt to build me up with good food and no end of care —but, in spite of everything, I kept going down, doAvn, down.

“Soon I was nothing but an invalid. I had not the energy to do a hand’s turn. In fact, I had not the strength. My back >\ T as never done aching, and my head felt as if it would burst. When those headaches came on I e-ould not lie still for two minutes. .1 greAV restless, and could not get* rid of the feeling that something dreadful Avas going to happen. Then suddenly my head would start to SAvim, and all the blood in my body seemed to rush to my face. The next minnte I was stretched on the floor in a dead faint, as lifeless as a corpse. “These fainting fits came oftener every month. Sometimes I had as many ar three in a week. When I came round each time I was all of a shake. My hands Avere stone cold, and I was so weak that I could hardly move a muscle. A terrible-Aveight seemed to be lying at my heart, and I could get no relief till I had a good cry. Next day, I was fit for nothing. All my nerves were on edge, and 1 felt too down-hearted for Avoids. The least thing startled me and set mv heart beating like mad. I always felt that the next fainting fit would carry me off. “After doctoring for years, I gave up all hope of e\'er getting well,” added. Miss Rohloff. “As the Sundays went by, I used to wonder if I would be alive that day week. I was so thin and weak that it was plain I could not last more than a feAv months longer. 1 couldn’t bear the thought of dying, and leaving all at home behind me —but I knew I would be better dead. '

“Father was heart-brpken. and used to tell everyone how I was dying before his very eyes, and he conldn’t find any doctor or medicine that could do me ths least good. One day a man told him Dr Williams’ Pink Pills had cured voung girl a few doors from him whee she was going straight into Consumption. Father got six boxes before he came home that night. They only made me hungry—but everyone at home said that I must have patience, and not expect wonders in a few days. So I kept on. It was a month before I felt them doing me good in other ways. Then I had to own up that I was ever so much better. Every day I kept gaining in weight and strength. Sometimes a whole fortnight passed, and I didn’t faint once. The colour came back to my face and my cheeks filled out. I had no imore headaches or backaches, and I always wanted to be helping about the house. After I had taken Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for four months, I had not had a fainting fit for weeks—and I have never had one since. Still I kept on taking the pills for six months, till 1 was just brimful of life and health. I weighed over list then, and I haven’t had a day’s illness since. Mother and father and all the neighbours Avill tell you that I would be in my grave to-day but for Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” '
