WHEN A GIRL IS NINETEEN.

WHAT SHE TALKS ABOUT. A maiden’s maidenly confessions are always interesting, not only to her own sex, hut likewise to the other sex. Particularly interesting will prove the experience of Miss Petrea Peterson, of Feathorston, North Island, New Zealand.

“ 1 am 19 years of age," said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand, to a press representative who interviewed her last month, “ and since X was 15 I have been suffering, more or less. I had acute palpitation of the heart, which was brought about by amemia or bloodlessnees, to which I was long a martyr. Whenever I ran upstairs my heart would thump violently against my aides, and I would be quite speechless for so - eral momenta until I recovered my breath. Night after night I tossed, weary and wornout, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramps in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation. I was always in a weak, low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would at times swell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I grew worse and worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness, which many a time caused me to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines and I had several doctors, but they gave no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an afflction of the eye from which I suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless, 1 one day noticed amadvertisement for Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking them strictly according to directions. After the third dose I found a change for the I better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine boxes, and am now in every way in the most perfect health. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and the affection in my eye has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments at all during the past four mouths, it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. The pills have absolutely cured me, and X will always keep some of them by me. I feel fit for my work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pule People, and she has tried several boxes herself. I am awfully thiukful to them, and I have recommended them to all my friends. Four of them speak exactly as I do of the Pills, and cannot praise them too highly. lam well known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case with interest. You can use this testimonial in any way you desire."
