LUCKY ENFIELD BABY.
A little baby girl in Enfield has become quito famous. 4" the neighbours in the 'district are talking of lier wonderful good fortune. " Baby Ethel was only six months old when she folljl.l," says' Mrs M; ,1. Jones, of Enfield, ffaitaki, near Oamani, "and but for Dr Williams' pink pills I do not believe she would bo alive to-day. Fits of terrible coughing racked her frail little body. Her little lungs Iwoamo con. gested, and she faded away till she wo* piteonsly thin, palo, and weak. Sometimes sho was fevomh, sometimes almost shivering. All food disagreed with her. Her. blood was so poor that none of her organs had strength to do their proper work or to resist disease. Atjast fho doctors told me she had consumption of the bowels. Sharp pains pierced her through and through, awl kept her awake night, after night. She cried until she was often too weak to open her mouth-and then sho would fall' asleep. Teething troubles made her worse: The doctor at last said she might live only a fortnight, hut certainly not wore than four months, She was pimply fading away before our eyes. Then," added Mrs Jones, "I sot Ethel some Dr William-?' pink pills in Enfield, as I had heard of them curing others little babies. Of course I was. very particular to got the genuine kind in wooden, boxes, and to see ihxt the package had the Wellington, New Zealand, address. I followed carefully the directions for children— and certainly the pills worked marvels for her. They actually jiadr new blood. Gradually they: settled her stomach, lesswod tho cough, and made her sleep bettor. Thort the new blood conquered the consumption in the bowels, just as they copquer and cure consumption, influenza, decline, debility, spina! weakness, paralysis, and locomotor ataxia in grown-up folks. ,Ethel is now v fine, strong, healthy child, -■Everybody round about Erifiald and Waitaki knows my laughing little girl, and they all know what saved her from death when she was just a baby,'.'—Advfc. .■■ "
