and heavy, and generally out of sorts. My heart would often flutter most strangely and make me think it was affected ; but I suppose it was the wind round it. Some days the pain in the chest would go right through, and my shoulder blades would ache very much, and I couldn't draw a full breath with any ease. I slept fairly well at night, but the rest didn't seem to do me much good, as I always woke up tired. What I did eat would often repeat on me, and I couldn't notice much taste in what I took. My appetite was always poor at the time, and some days I would be afraid to eat, bat whatever I did eat it made no difference. Even light foods in small quantities wouldn't digest, and the lump in the chest -would feel so heavy. I tried several things for it one way and another, and at last Dv Williams' Pink Pills, and after a long course I got relief. After a while the pain after eating lessened a little, as I thought, so I determined to keep on with them. I got back my colour, and my appetite began to improve, till at last all the traces of indigestion vanished."
CAUSE MS cum GF maiOESTIOi. THE TROUBLE BEGINS WITH WEAK, THIN BLOOD. A GREAT SUFFERER WITH THE COMPLAINT TELLS HOW SHE WAS CURED. “ I gradually became a sufferer from indigestion,” said Miss Isabella Thomas, Miller’s Street, near Rose Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland. “ About an hour after each meal I'd get the most severe pains in the chest. I’d feel as if I were on fire inside, and jet there was always a cold feeling as if I had swallowed a stone. My tongue was always furred, especially in the mornings. I’d get faint turns just as if 1 were going to swoon, and sometimes I’d go quite dizzy and the room would seem to swim round me. 1 had to have light food only, and especially cooked for me. I was thoroughly wretched in my spirits, I lost all my colour, and got as sallow as possible and thin as Avell. My heart would palpitate alarmingly, I had severe headaches in the forehead and back of the head, and I’d just have to go and lie down. As to strength, I had none. The doctor’s treatment did me good only for a little time, I tried hosts of other things, with the same result. Then I read in a pamphlet left at the house about Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. The first box eased me a little, and after I had taken five boxes I am glad to say all those aches and pains went away. My digestion got stronger every day. My mother had spent quite a good sum of money in’ various medicines, hut Dr Williams’ Pink Pills set me on my feet.”
