NO HEART FOR ANYTHING. Mrs Christie, Cartertori. Blood Going- to Water. Hated the Sight of Food. Always Weak and Ailing-. Strong- and Healthy To-day, Dr Williams' Pink Pills.

" It is only a few years since the verji thought of food made my stomach turn,"said Mrs Annie Christie, the young wife of George Christie, engine driver, Anders son's Line, Carterton, Wairarapa. " I couldn't eat anything without getting a thumping headache. Half an hour's work S ' about the house left mo worn out for the s I rest of the day, I was that weak. All niy c blood was going to water. For no cause at I j all, my heart started to race, and all the _. blood in my body rushed to my head till ' j my face burned lire. A faint feeling cams c over me. and I was ready to drop. I was 8 just as ill and miserable as a woman could s be till I took Dr Williams' Pink Pills for ■ t Pale People. Less than half a. dozen boxes c of them cured me for -good. "I had always had good health until X sort of fell out with my food," said Mrs Christie. "No matter what I got ready, I i could never enjoy it once it was on the r table. If it hadn't been for Mr Christie I f would never have got a meal ready. When the dinner \va3 bring dished up, even the smell of it turned me sick. I simply had 1 " j to force myself to eat enough to keep the • ' breath in my body. Every bite made mo r feel miserable. It lay on my chest in & ~ . lump, and would not move either- up or/, . i down.. Just under my breastbone, there ! was always a dull sort of burning pain that 1 j gave me no peace. I could never shake p j off an uneasy sick feeling that clung to me all day long. Even a cup of tea turned sour, on my stomach. '" My husband used to say that he could not make out how I kept going with the little I ate," -added Mrs Christie. "I neveJ let him know how weak I really was. When I woke in the morning I would have given worlds if I could have stayed in bed al{ . day. The thought of the day's work ahead j of me made my heart sink. Many a morn* 5 I ing it was all I could do to get dressed. s j By the time the breakfast things were . J washed up I was tired out. A little while j before no woman used to take more prido j in her house than I did, but somehow or ' other I hadn't the energy now to do any- . * thing more than just keep things straight.. j i It was something new for mo to feel list- | less. All I wanted to do was to lie downr " | on the sofa all day long, and not have a; 1 soul come near me. But a house won't !■ look after itself. Whether I felt like it oc i not I had to struggle through the work- [ ' By the time I made one bed my back and I arms were aching. I hadn't the strength of o, child three years old. Every day I got "" 1 ; thinner and weaker. My blood was no • ■ , better than water. Even on a summer day_ , i my hands and feet were like blocks of ice.' • i The one thing I needed was some good" blood to build me np. Often and often I thought I would drop in the middle of my - 1 work. Before the afternoon was half over: > I was aches and pains from head to foot. - i When Mr Christie came homo at night ho ; ! found me worn out with sheer weakness. j j " Month after month went by in this ! I way, until I began to give up all hope o£ ever getting well again. All the heart was taken out of me. I took no interest in anything, and fairly hated the sight ,i of anyone coming to call on me. I felfi , ' 100 wretched to talk to my dearest friend.. I I conld not get rid of the thought that some- bad news was hanging over my head 1 ., 1 j Often I felt so miserable and down-hearted i that I threw myself down on the bed and! } cried for hours. My poor head ached andl I ached till I thought it would burst. 16 I was a dull thumping pain just at the top !of my head and ovor my eyes. It came i on fen time? worse whenever I made myself; ! swallow a bite of dinner. A tight feeling caught me across the chost like something smothering me around the heart. Before I could get to the top of the stairs my heart was jumping like mad. The Wood rusliod to my face, and my pars simply burnocl. I had to struggle for breath, and 1 clutch the baluster or the nearest thing to save myself from falling. llv kneea went from under nif, ami I was iust on the? vorro of going off into a dead faint. " Th^re was no tolling 1 how long T would! have suffered lik^ this if ib hadn't been for Dr Williams' Pink PiVs." Mrs Chrktie went on to say. " I got a good supply ia CavtPrfon, for I was sure that they wero r'so only thin'f that oould ever build me upThe first box didn't seem to do me any cood— but. bofove T was half- way tlirouph. j the <incond, I wa.s a= hunprrv as I could bo for «very meal. From that time outDr William. Pink Pills did me more zootl overy day. "ftp fore T had finished half a riozen lxvcos Il\»v made me another woman. T ato whet I liked, nnrl wag on the 50 from morni'iir t 11 nifht without ever cefc'i tin? tired. B<-?t of all, Dr William*' Pink Pills cured m<* for good — for. from that time to this, I have never had a day sick." .Tiisf- as eurply as thov curpfl Mrs Annie? Christie's iiulige.'tion, Dr Williams' PinU PilK can cure ana?mia, weak hoart. bilious* ness, lieada-chos, sideaches, backaches, kid* ney trouble, lumbago, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, general weakness, and the special secret ailments of growing girls and women. All thoso ailrr-ents romfl from bad blood— and Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually make Tiew blood. That on© thing i« all they do. but they c?o ifc welF. They don't act on the bowels. They don't' bother with mere symptoms. They no. right to the very cause of disease in ths blood, and cure that. But you must insist on retting the same kind as cured Mrs Annie Christie.
