CONSUMPTION.

Weak Blood Brings Weak liungs. How Dr Williams' Pink Fills Saved a. Girl from a Decline

" I was jmt 15 when my blood started turning to water,'" said Miss Dora Whiting, 2 Oliver streat, Ballarat. "I grew pitcously pale, thin, and weak. Everyone said £ had Consumption. I looked the picture of Death. " One day, while tottering along on. Mother's arm, we passed two gentlemen, and I heard one- say, 'Poor little thing I She's in Consumption !' Yet here lam today, as strojjg and healthy as any girl in Australia — thanks to Dr Williams'- Pink Pills for Pale People. They actually slide new blood for me. They built me up with every dose. I can never praise them half No one knows better than Mother how near Death _l wa3." «, -" Yes, I never expected her to live,'* broke in • Mrs Whiting. " Day after day some new person told me she had Consumption. Even her aunt, Nurse O'Brien, said! so. Soon I had to .-acknowledge it myself. r tried to make myself believe" it wassomething else, but it was no use. Dora " was plainly in a deadly 'decline. "Every week she grew thinner and weaker," continued'- Mrs -Whitiag. "She hadn't the strength to walk. We had to lift her about like a baby. I used to carry her out into the garden to lie in the- sun for hours. But I could never leave her alone, for I never knew when she would go off in a faint. And these- fainting spells left her stone "cold, like one dead." "Yes/ "said Miss Whiting herself, " Mother used to cry her heart out, and I used to wish "myself • dead. "I was onlymaking everyone about me- miserable. I was too weak to do anything for myself. Soon my nerves went to pieces. I could! neither eirep nor eat. The smallest mouthful felt as if it was choking me. All I - lived on was fruit, milk, and the like. No wonder I wasted away till I looked like a -skeleton." " _No one knows what I suffered," Miss Whiting went on. "I always- had a splitting headache and sharp shooting pains under my arms. As for -nay back, it was one damll dragging ache, the live-long day. The least thing sot my heart beating like mad. My aunt, who nupsed. jne, said I hadn't a pound of flesh on my whole T>ody. My lips were white, and black rings came under my eyes. Everyone said I was in the last stages of Consumption." "That is just what I" told "her mother," said Nurs* Margaret .O'Brien, .of Ligar street, Ballarat. "You could almost see through her arms and hands. Her clothes hung on her like on a prop. She had no "■ appetite, but craved instead .for pickles and such things. After trying every treatment in vain, I felt sure that nothing could savo Dora from a consumptive's grave." " But just when we were giving up hope. someone left a book at the door -telling how Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually MADE ne-w blood," Mrs Whiting resumed. "We knew that that was "just what Dora wanted, so we got her some. People said she was tooi far gone for even Dr Williams' Pink Pills - to save her. but I mad© up my mind to> give them a fair trial." ~" "Yes, and the very first box gave. me an. appetite." said Miss Whiting. " Somehow I did not feel half so down-hearted. In a. week or »o I was able to walk by mys&lf. Headaches and backaches did not trouble me nearly so much. Then I felt every dose giving me new strength. I started! gaining in woieht. and soon got back my colour. Meanwhile the new blood built up my lunjs. At last, to the surprise .of all my fri-onds in Ballarat, T was able to go about a<; strong and well as any eirl in. the district. When Dr Williams' Pink Pills savpd my life they worked o, regular miracle."
