The Sufferings of a MarrickVILLE LADY.
HER TRIALS ABOUT TO OVER WHELM HER WHEN DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS RESCUE HER. ENDURED YEARS OF TORTURE FROM INDIGESTION AND DYSPEPSIA. Mrs Edwards, a most intelligent and kindly lady (wife of the caretaker of the Morrickvilie Town Hall) _ has for a long time been a victim to indidigestion of an aggravated character ter. She very courteously received a representative, and gave him an account of her ailments and their cure. In answer to his first question she said:— " What you have heard is quite true. I have been suffering for years from indigestion and dyspepsia." " Will you be good enough to describe your symptoms." " Well, first of all I suffered from sleeplessness, ringing noises in my head, and an overbearing pain in my chest. Furthermore, my appetite failed and all that would rest on my stomach was soft food such as miik and arrowroot. But what alarmed me most was the way my heart would go pit-a-pat on the very slightest exertion. I can assure you if I walked a quarter of a mile these distressing symptoms would come on. This frightened me very much, for I feared I was suffering from heart disease. As to the remedies I swallowed, why their name is legion, but unfortunately no good effects resulted, and I feared my troubles were neither to be cured nor alleviated. I consequently began to feel very low and depressed." "It is no wonder you felt low and depressed, Mrs Edwards. Sleeplessness alone, when it becomes chronic, is sufficient to deprive one of reason Ringing noises in the head, too, you must have experienced trouble from, as deafness in some degree is rarely unassociated with them. Severe heevy pain at the chest is always a marked sign of indigestion ; and loss of appetite, the surest proof of the existence of something wrong, as frequently linked to it. You must indeed have had a severe trial, but to continue with your story." " One day I read of some cures effected by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and indeed it proved a joyous day for me. I determined to try a few boxes of this specific, bought them, commenced to take them according to the directions which I noticed were around each box. After the two boxes I felt a decided improvement, and decided to continue this medicine. As I persevered with the the treatment I made satisfactory progress. " You said that your heart gave you considerable unxiety, Mrs Edwards." " Yes, I was afraid it was diseased, and I am glad to fiud I was mistaken. It took a little time to pull me together again, for you must remember I had sunk very low; but lam happy to state that I am fairly on my feet again, and am so satisfied that this cure has been effected by the Pink Pills that I have recommended them to all my friends. Yes, you are at perfect liberty to publish this testimonial, for I consider it a duty that I owe to the world at large." (signed) JANE EDWARDS. Anyone with a particle of sympathy in his composition will readily concede that life under the circumstances nar* rated in Mrs Edwards' case is a failure, and death holds little terror for one so situated. Imagine even such an existence, and the thought brings terror with it. It is like bearing a heavy load with little strength to manage it, consequent upon the denial of food and sleep. No wonder the heart rebels and seems determined upon bursting bounds. Dr Williams Pink Pills also cure such cases as rheumatism, neuralgia, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dauce nervous prostration, influenza, diseases depending on humors in the blood, ° such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c, In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. These Pills are not a purgative. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by chemists and by Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z. who will forward on (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order,* 1 box for 35., or halfdozen for 15s 9d. They are unrivalled as a tonic for both sexes.
