At times I became dizzy ami lost the use of my legs; and liaye befen almost wholly cW ' lined to iuy home. I dared not go far from home for fear of not. being able to get back. In December last my skin became blotchy, and pimples appeared all over my body-." I weiit to the Pri'nce Alfred Hospi- i tal, and the doctor gave mo some medicine, | which, however, did not do me any good. < I made about 12 visits to the hospital, ex- i tending-over a period of two months; but 1 1 did not seem to get better, arid I was in : despair. The doctor said my blood was out ' of order, and was like water, causing my ' flesh to.become.puffed and swollen. Early ' iii March, a neighbour advised ine to* try i Dr Morse's Indian Boot Pills, which was a t splendid medicine for purifying and enrich- ! irig-the bloodj mid rm the following day my ' husband purchased a bottle. After.a couple ( of days my appetite improved, so I decided ' to Miwyere'witli'lhe pills, and took them J as directed; lii the course of three wfceks ] I found a Avoiidtrful: intpioVenieiib in my j health. I seemed to gain strength daily, t The - pimples had disappeared, a'iid as'l I gained strength the dizziness which'l used v to experience entirely left me. To-day J. J feel a new woman, and am enjoviiig the best of health. I still take yoiir'Pifis on ' alternate days, and "recommend them to c everyone.
