IN A DEADLY DECLINE.

Saved Just in time by Dr Williams' Pink Pills. " When I entered my teens it would hava been hard to find a stronger girl .uiywhere," said Miss Stella Rohloff, LeCren's Tcrrare. LeCren street. Timaru. "Soon, after I turned 15 I started to fade a. x .\uy. and the onlj- thing that saved me from the grave was Dr Williams' Pink Pills It 1 - Pale People. I took them for six months, and it is ju-.t wonderful the way tl.ey built me up. ffTcn I started them I was a skeleton, but I weighed list 41b when I knocked them off. '"My blood must have been overtaxed, for I grew pale and weak," added Zvllss fiohlofr. "I had no jjife, and just went about the housa in a ha'if-day.ed way. Mother never dreamed I was po bad. Sba used to get nnnoyed, and tell n*e that [ gave way too much. I wouldn't let her know that rherc were times when I had hardly the strength to put one foot bcfeTe the orher. T would not give in till or.o day, whan I was helping her, I staggeied to the sofa, and fell bsck in a dead faint. That was a terrible shock to them all. Tl:o doctor was sent for, and he said I fainted from sheer weakness and want of blood. '" ; Sh? will n-epd every care, Mrs Rohloff,' Tiere his last words to mofcliei-. 'The least chill might end in her death. She his hardly enough b'ocd in her body to keep her olive as it is.' "1 dk'n'i look as if I had any blood, for I Mas the colour of death," Miss Rohloff went on. "My lips and gums were almcsi, purple. My checks fell in, and my eyes sa.uk away back in my head. I "was a, ghastly s.'ght. Every few weeks great dark circles came under my eyes, showing what a Terrible stato my health was in. The doctor sent me medicine, and mother did ho-r best to build me vn with good fcoi and no end of care — but, in spite of everything. I kept going down, down, down. "Soon I was nothing but an invalid. I had not iihe energy to do a hand's turn. In fact, I had not "the strength. My back wps never done aching, and my head felt as if it would burst When those headaches camp on I could not lie still for two minutes. I grew restless, and could not get rid of rhe feeling that something dreadful was going to happen. Then suddenly my ho^d would start to swim, and all the blood in my body seemed to rush to my face. The next minute T was stretched on the floor in a dead iaint, and lifeless as. a. corpse. ''These fainting fits crane oftener every month. Somet-mos I had as many as three a week. When I came round each time I was all of a shake. My hands were stone-cold, and I was so weak that I could hardly move a. muscle. A terrible weight seemed to be lying at my heart, and I oou'd set no relief till I had a good cry. Nett day I was fit for nothing. All my nerves were on edge, and I felt too downhearted for words. The least thing startled me. and set my heart beating like mad. J always felt that the next fainting fit would carry n~e oft. "After doctoring for years, I grave up nil hope of ever gel-ting well." added Miss Rohloff'. '• As the Sundays went by I used to wonder if I would be alive that day week. I was so thin and weak that it was plain I could not last more than a few months 'onger. I couldn't bear the thought of dying and leaving all at home be-nind me. bL't I knew T would be- better dead. "Father was heartbroken, and used to tell everyone how I was dying before his very oyos. and he couldn't find any doctor or medicine that could do me the least cood. One day a man told him that Dr Williams' Pink P,lls hr.rl cured a younggirl a few doers from him when she was> going straight into Consumption. Father got six boxes before he came home that night. They only made me hungry — but everyone at home said that I musL have> patience, .and not expect wonders in a fewdays. So I kept on. It was a r^onfch before I felt tkam doing me gocd in other wKys. TLon I had to own up that I was o-\cr so much better. Every day I kept i gaining in weighs and strength. Sonie- | times a whole fortnight passed and I ! didn't faint once. The colour on me back to my face and my cheaks filled out. I I had no more headaches or backaches, and I always wanted to be ' helping about the ouse. After I had taken Dr Williams' L J ink Pills for four months I had not had • a fainting fit for weeks— and I have never had one since. Still I kept on taking the pills for six months, till I was just brimful of lifo and health. I weighod over list then, and I haven't had a day's illness since. Mother end father and all the neighbours will tell you that I would be in my gravo to-day but for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually hake new blood.
