MISERABLE WOMEN.

HOW WOMEN LOSE INTEREST IN THEIR HOUSEHOLDS. KINDRED AILMENTS-ILLS TO WHICH WOMEN ARE HEIR, CAUSE MUCH MISERY— THE EXPERIENCE OF WOMEN WHO SUFFERED, AND HOW THEY REGAINED THEIR HEALTH. From the " Republican," Princeton, 111. , Mr F. W. Stevens is well known in Tiskilwa, 111. For the past six years he has conducted the oleaneit and most attractive meat market in the city. His business is done on a large scale, and is both retail and wholesale.^ He is recognised as one of tbe city's most progressive business men, being always prominent as a leader. Mr Stevens says that some months ago his wife, whose health has never been of the berit, began to show symptoms of an early decline, which he feared would result seriously unless something oould be dons for her. She appeared to lose the greater part of her usual interest in the affairs of tbe family and household. Mr Stevens said he had often cautioned her>bout going too long without proper medical attendance, bub she would keep putting it off until he took the matter into his own hands and summoned the family physician, who diagnosed her complaint as chlorosis, or grf en sickness. She was also troubled with colduess of the hands and feet, resulting from a very impoverished condition of the blood. The general debility of the system was particularly well marked, and ths above, coupled with tardy and irregular periods, made Mrs Stevens & very sick and miserable woman. For a. space of two weeks nhe followed strictly to the rules laid down by her physician. At times she felt somewhat more at ease, bub there was evidence that no improvement had lornmenced. The ■patient, who had faithfully expected immediate results from the treatment, began to fall into fits of despondency, which would sometimes last for a week or more. Mr Stevens says that one day he picked up a picca of paper in his 6tore, which, on reading, proved to be a circular about Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pa'.e People. "I nobioed the pills were said to be uted as a specific for all the ills woman is heir to, and this set me to thinking. I figured that they couldn't do her much more harm than the various decoctions and com* pounds the doctor* had prescribed for her, and if they did her no good, why, there was no harm done, and no great amount of money squandered. I sent my clerk ont ab once to get a box of the Pink Pills, and that day at supper time" my wife commenced taking them. " At this time she was in a very enfeebled condition and her stomach very weak. She would sometimes be unable to retain oven a glass of water. The iirat few doses seemed ta have * good e-ffecb in soothing her at night. Sho slept better, aud felt aud looked fresher in the morning than she had for months. Her mental condition appeared to receive fully A 8 much benefit as her physical, for fihe was more inclined to look at the brighter side of matters, instead of constantly hunting out; the dark features. " She kept right on taking the pills, and the favourable symptoms btcamo more marked. Wo all felt as if she was on a very fair ro*d to recovery. Time proved that sho was, indeed, for I do not believe jou will find in the city » healthier woman than my wife. She has no bad Kymptoniß whatever, she has gained in weight, and we all know that 'she owes it to Dr William*' Pink Pilis for Pale People. " Wait a moment, I'm not through yet. I wane to do as much for Dr Williams' Pink Fills »b I feel they have done for us," said Mr Stsvens, xs the reporter, after thanking him for : the courteous attention »bown, wai about to take his leave. Mr Stevens sSTd : "My wife had no more than recovered when my son Veroo began to look thin and puny. He had plenty of good . food, exercise, and, in general, as healthy surroundings as most of us, but that didn'b seem to help mncb. He had fever aud ague, and everything pointed to a malarious condition of tha system. The doctor said tbat there was a poor assimilation, and did all he could to help i him. • "We noticed no favourable results, and | finally I made up my mind Shafc if Dr William*' j Pink Pills for Pale People htd increased his mother's weight and enriched her blood, it might do the same for him. He began taking them, and almost from the first day, began to feel better. He always awoke in the morning with a foul- tasted mouth. He remarked the j second or third morning after he begau taking | tho pills thab this had left him, and he felt \ 'tike eating his breakfast. Yon never taw any I one's recovery so rapid and complete as that boy*, and he hasn't; had any return either. : " There is nothing visionary or that looks like guesswork about what I have told you ; we know what the remedy is, for we have, I believe, given it as thorough a test as it ever i had. ' j " Yes, sir, I can truthfully ttiy that I believe i these pills, if given a fair chance, will prove a permanent cure for lots of diseases that people are suffering from." Dr Williams' Pink Pills hava cured numerous cases of paralysis, locomotor a taxi a, spinal disease, rheumatism, aud sciatica ; also of diseases arising from impoverished and vitiated humours of the blood, which cause scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of tho bowels and lung?, ai'semia, pale and sallow complexion, general muecfllar weakness, loss of appetite, palpitations, p»ins in the back, , nervous headache, early decay, all forms of female weakness, and hysteria. These Pills are not a pngafcive. 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 Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of scamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half* '; dozen for 15s 9d. They are unrivalled as a tonic for both sexes. — Advt.
