Mrs Pennell, Kaitang-ata. Twelve Tears of Doctoring:. Blood Turned to Water. Life Hanging: by a Thread. • No Heart Disease Now. Dr Williams' Pink Pills. "Two doctors told me my heart w,as so - M-eak that the least worry or excitement might kill me," said Mrs A. Pennell. of Kaitangata. e'dest daughter of Mr John Auld, of Lawrence. "For twelve years I was always doctoring, for I never had a week's decent health. My life was just trembling in the balance all the time with my weak heart. When everything else failed, our eld «k>ctor up in Lawrence told me to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills— and the way they built mo v:p was something wonderfu'. For the past five years, my heart has been as sound as a bell, and nov I never have to give it a second thought. Before ho went to England, the doctor told - me that Dr "Williams' Pink Pills had saved I my life — and there is nothing in this world I surer than that. " As a girl, I was always healthy enough* but my Wood began to go to water just about the time I first nut my hair up," said Mrs Penncll. 'My face got as white as that sheet of paper. My lips wera almost blue, and big black rings came under my eyes. I always had "a sickly,. • washed-oufc look, as if I hadn't slept for nights on end. There was hardly enough bleed in my body to keep the life in me. Even on the hottest day. my hands and feet were like ice. I t-tartcd to shiver all over, and the next minute I was burning hot again. At home, they thought I was going into a Decline — and they were always at me to eat this and drink that to make me strong. But I simply couldn't I 'cok at focd. I lost all my old relish. I Everything disagreed with me. If I only 1 had a. cup of afternoon tea and a plain biscuit, it seemed to lie under my breast bono like a lump of burning lead. SomeI times it was all I could do to draw a. breath, with the tight rain across my chest Twenty times a day. hot, sour water used t-. rush up into my mouth and make me feel faint and sick. When dinner time rame, I only forced down a few bites, and then had to leave the rest. A sick feeling came over me, and I wanted to vomit. My head began to spin round and round-r-and I got cold and clammy all over. My knees went from under me, and my heart etopped dead stil'. - The next minute I went down in a half-faint, too eicfc for words. „ , •' \nd, oh. you have no idea how my , poor head ached after one of those bihcus . fits. The pain shoe Through my br ff 1 j till it nearly drove me crazy. I wanted to scream with it at times. My nm«, were worked up to such a pitch that 1. , didn't know what I v;as doing * « ou! ? not set my mind on anything. When Igot in one of my restless moods you . couldn't keep me two minutes in the on© . place. Everything got en my aenrefc • ?o,«dm<i turned in W bed. and got im • mmsmm thin? to save myself frcm falling time I was gating thinner and sH.itoV : n^»«^ EH £*.£««£& 2 fts l ■si.rs.-.Sr sr=l yC "eve- Ml mo. Try how I woo i I_ co«ld do -to crawl about the house. « **"«*• to co upstairs I had to sit down before I v^/halfwav to the top. My heart thumped against my side, and my breath . came in short ea«ps. The fear of dropping dead haunted me day and night. The doctors told me to take th nga quietly and never do anything to exc.te my h e«t-«>r tb«J warned me that my life was just hanging by - * - l 'That's the waV I dragged along for 12 weary years," Mrs Pennell went on to , ay "Mv life was not worth living. I was always taking medicine and paying doctots' bills— but I went on suffering just the same. At last the doctor said he believed my blood was to blame for the whole trouble— and he told mi> to take Dr Wj!lliams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The first three boxes made me as hungry as a won for my meals— and that was more than common medicines had ever doneforme. From that time on every box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills djd me moie good. -Bui it was slow work. I never heard of anyone else who had to take 36 boxes of Di Williams 1 Pink Pills before they were cured —but that will just show you how bad L was. At the end of three months I was another woman altogether. My friends didn't know me. I was iust brim full of health »nd spirits. Best of all, Dr Williams ' Pink Pills cured me for good — for I havo never had a day's illness since I left them off." • Dr Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, but they do it well — they actually make new blood. They don't act on the bowels. They don't tinker with mere symptoms. They won't cure any disease that isn't caused originally by bad blood. But . when Dr Williams' Pink Pills replace bad blood with good blood they strike straight at the xoot and cause of all common diseases like headaches, sideaches and backaches, kidney trouble, liver complaint, biliousness, indigestion, antenna, neuralgia, sciatica, nervous exhaustion, failing powers,, locomotor ataxia, and the special secret troubles that every woman knows, but that none of them like to talk about, even to their doctors. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are sold by retailers and the Dr Williams' Medicine Wellington — 3s a laa*. -Ix boxes 16a 6d, post free.
