BLOOD nnjD WATERYr Mrs Catherine Shirley Utterly Run Down. Another Invercargill Cure Dr Williams' Pink Pills. "I look the very piotuM of health to-day —and I have only fir Williams 1 Pink Pills to thank for that. Thov built mo lip when my blood was all turning to water. Since then my health has been perfect," 6aid Mrs Catherine Shirley, wifo of i\lr Percy Slilrley, railway clerk, Ann street, Invercargill, N.Z. "It was whon We wero living in Duncdin, two years ago, that I first got ill," said Mrs Shirley. "I was heartily sick of people telling mo liow pale I was. I had only to look in the glass to soo how bloodless my lips and gums wero. My faco was sallow, and there were heavy rings round my eyes. My faco was drawn, and I looked oid and vvrctchcd. I can tell yoii I felt as ill as I looked. The doctor hadn't to look at mo a second time to tell me that my blood was all turning to water. Winter and summer my fecfc and hands were always cold and dummy. I hadn't a sci<ip of strength in me. In tho morning I got up feeling tired before the day began. Try how I . would, I could not pull myself together. How I dragged through the day I don't know. Often I grow dizzy with the noises in my head. A mist camo over my eyes, and everything beeamo blurred. My heart fluttered and 'throbbed till I had to stop atld gasp for breath. I'couldn't even make my own bed witliout stepping half a dozen tintp.f to rest. I never knew what it was to feel well for an hour. "My appetite failed altogether. The very thought of food made mb sick-. Sometimes I forced myself to eiit a little, but I was always sorry afterwards. Something tightened round my heart and almost smothered. Hot, bitter water camo info my mouth, stinging and Maiding my throat. I was sb dull and' heavy after food that I ached to lie down; liut when I did I couldn't draw a proper lireith. At last I couldn't bear tlk> sight of food, "Tho dootor toid me I was utterly run down and suffering from poverty of blood," went on Mis Shirley. "He gave me bitter tonic, with quinine and iron in it. I took the whole lot, but I might as well havo saved my innnoy—it didn't do mo a scrap of good. I dragged on, goini,' from bad to Worse. I shall never forget the dragging ache all down my back—it wiis a liain I could never get away from. It. seemed to set. all my nerves on edge. If my husband spoke suddenly to iiio I jumped and quivered all over. ' ITo was always wauling me to go out with him, but I hadn't the heart 'to get dressed. Even if. people came to see nio I felt'as if it Was almost too much trouble to be civil to them. I hadn't any interest in life* and nothing seemed worth while. The weariness I felt was worse than actual pain. 1 was only a girl of 21, but I felt like an old woman. I often wished that I could die, and end it all. "When rt'6 moved to Invercargill I was as ill as a woman coultl he; Ono day I read about Dr Williams' I'ink Pills in the paper. I thought I'd try them, and bought a box frotn a chemist ill the town. To tell you the truth, I didn't cxpuet them to do me much good. I tlldh't sec. how they could, when the doctor's ineilieiue had failed. After a few doses, however, f noticed a change. Instead of hating the sight of food I was ready for .niy irieals, and enjoyed theni. I Eridn felt hotter and brighter, and lost my hopeless feeling, livery day I gained ground. I slept well, arid woke up feelltig frfsll. It ttiis JUSt heavenly to bo . rid of tho dragging .backache and tliOj sick, tired feeling! I began to tftko an interest in things, about hie, and to go out and about. When people meet me and say how Well I am looking I tell them it's nil due to Dr Williams' Pink Pills."
