When they cured him 'he got some tor me. Six months after 1 started, them, no one took me to ho the came -if. There wa« a pood colour in my cheeks, and I wan just toll of life, lor i more than four years I have been no well that I haven’t had as much as a backache. "Often I heard mother say what a health' looking girt I wao before I turned isaid Miss Lloyd, “but from that time I was never the sarno for two day a running. When I went to bod at mghv, 1 never knew whether I would got up the next morning with a splitting headache or not. Nearly every week I bad a bilious attack. From daylight to dark. 1 was too sick to lift my head Every time 1 moved, my head felt im if it would burst. Flushes of light used to dart before ray eves, and everything in the room locked blurred. One minute 1 was in a burning fever, and the next, 1 was shivering Beads of perspiration broke out all over me. For nearly a quarter of an hour 1 brought up nothing but bile. With every fit of vomiting, mother had to sit and'hold my head. 1 w:ie weaker than a baby. ••Gradually I began to break down altogether." Miss Lloyd added. My face showed how weak and watery my blood was. All my colour went, and left me mg like a chronic invalid. Even my lips were bleached. My cheeks tel! in, and there was a deep black shadow all round mv eyt«. Mv feet were like blocks of ioo. and my hands were just aa cold. Month after month, I was never rid of a terrible dragging backache. Every scrap of lile lelt me. 1 was utterly down-hearted, and never wanted to speak to anv one. All I longed for was to sit by mysell and 101 l about the house from one day’s end to another. "I did my best to shako off this utter weak feeling—but it was no good. If 1 only gave mother a hand with the beds, ] had to sit down to get my breath. My heiLip thumped and throbbed till 1 thought it would burnt. My heart must have been dreadtuily weak. It I tried lo hurry, I had lo stop with tho awful pain that caught mo in the left side, ciuon 1 got so bad that 1 couldn't walk trorn one end of the house to the other. 1 took no end of iron tonics, but they didn’t make one ounce of blood tor me. 1 got v.-orso instead of better. At night 1 could never sleep. 1 used to toes about for hours. Often when it was just breaking day, 1 would drop into u troubled doso—hut Only Lo Wake again with a racking nervous headache. For the reel of the day I was lit for nothing. My nervre were strung lo such a pilch that 1 couldn’t bear lo hear oven tho ton-cups rattling at meal-time. 1 wan so utterly weak and sick that 1 often longed for doath. "When I turned eighteen. I was trnch an invalid that my mends gave up all hope.” Miss Lloyd added. "But I lingered on for the next twelve months. Then father got mo some Dr Williams’ Rink Pills for Pale People. When they hod cured him, after he had been doctoring for five years, he said they were bound to do me good. Three weeks after starting them mother said I was eating three times as well as I did.
