FITS OF MT FAME. Ruby Husks, Normanby. After Deadly Diphtherial Doctor Couldn't Care Her. Dr Williams', Pink Pills. "It is just five years ago that I lay between lifo'and death with Diphtheria," said Miss Ruby Hicks, who lives at the Dairy Factory, Normanby. "The doctor had a hard fight to pull mo through. Even then my life wasn't safo for mopths, for Diphtheria left my heart with hardly tho strength to beat. For weeks tho doctor would ' hardly let me move. Ho warned mo against trying to do even the littlest thing. He said he know of a case where a girl, who was getting over Diphtheria, just walked. across tho room to shut tho window and dropper] down dead. ' ."I'll nover forget,the first day that I got up; I was so sick and shaky that I couldn't" stand. For weeks my knees trembled if I went as far as the kitchen. In fact, it was months and months before I could walk any distance Do what ho could, the doctor wasn't able to make mo strong again. He said my blood was turning to water. After Diptheria, ho told ino that it sometimes took years to build, the ..blood up again.., My heart would bump and thump like.fury till I was half dead with fright. ; I got worse and worse till nobody thought that I could last muoh longor. But I started taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, and they soon built mo up to as strong a girl as you'll find anywhere. " I wouldn't' go through all that time again for anything you could give me. I was, just wasting away. I was as thin as a prop. You could almost blow me over. My bones almost wished their way through my skin, and my clothes used to just hang on me. My cheeks were sallow, and my eyes were sunk right back' in my head. My face had a mnddy greenish look. My hands and feet wore' never warm. I had no liking for my meals, I simply, ate nothing. I oould go all day without, a bite. And, of course, that only helped to drag me down. You never saw such a sight. I looked like a corpse. Sometimes I'd cry my eyes out when I looked at myself. "When I woke in tho morning I felt I hadn't been to sleep for a week. My body was heavy as lead. I dreaded to get up and start another day. When I was dressing, my legs trembled so that I had to sit down a dozen times. I felt all gone in the back. I was too tired and giddy to laco my boots up. All day I was that languid and weary I don't know how I got through my work. I hadn't strength enough to dry the ' breakfast things. I took no interest in anything. I never wanted to go out for walks. I wanted to lie down all the time. When I was taking the washing in I hardly had tho strength to pull tho clothes down off tho line. I got into such a state that. I could just drag myself along. So soon as night camo I longed for bed, but I was too weary lo sleep when I did lio down. I couldn't rest for five minutes on one side. I just tossed about for hours. I was aches and pains nil over. Often I cried myself to sleep. I was always in such a state of the blues that I didn't care if thoy found me dead in the morning. "If I only walked down to the slip-rails, my heart started to flutter," Miss Hicks went on to say. "A buzzing- came in my ears, and my head turned dizzy. Everything went dim, ami I got cold all over. My arms 'began in jhake, and I was ready to faint. Then, all of a sudden, my heart started to jump' and tbump like mad.' I sat down quickly in a. terriblo fright and ehitched at my side. The veins in my neck swelled and throbbed till I thought I would choke. I could hear my heart, lieating like a hammer. I thought it would break loose. I daro not move for fear that I would dro;i dead. It was all I could do to get my breath. A smothering fooling came over mo, and I had to gasp for air. I tore the clothes away from my nock, and held my throat, panting for breath. Thoy tell me that tho veins in my forehead swelled up like cords. It was hours before the attack would wiss.off, and it always left me deathly siok, And then, for days afterwards, I -was so weak and 'shaky that I could hardly raise my haul. " I suffered like this so long that I thought I could never bo wired. But one day, Miss Clements, of Kapuni, got me to give Dr Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. It was my last chance. After (akin? only one box, I found myself eating muoh better. Soon the deadly weary feeling began to leave me. I got new life into me. In the morning I got up early, and went about my work as happv as could be. In fact, my strength fairly rushed lack to mo again. The colour came back to my checks, and you couldn't find a livelier girl in all the town. It took nearly two dozen boxes to cure me—but then, I was ourcd for good. Best of all, Dr Willianiß' Pink Pills made my heart as strong as ever it was before I got ihe Diphtheria. I never give it a thought now. So I tell everyone that Dr Williams' Pink Pills saved my life." Now Dr Williams' Pink Pills build up the slrcngth in just one way—thoy aotually MAKE now blood.
