DELAY IS DANGEROUS.

Anaemia should be Attended To at Once. It opens the way to, perhaps, Fatal Decline —How one Girl became Hearty and Strong. In no disease is neglect more dangerous than in Anaemia. Anaemia is literally «. bloodless stato, and a lack of sufficient good red blood robs tho system of its chief defence against disease. This is 'shown by the fact that it is anasmio ones who drift into a declino or contract fevers. Taken in time anaemia is readily curable, the euro being a tonio medicine, which increases th& red matter in the blood, thus enabling it to carry life and health to all toe tissues of the body. Such a tonic ia Dr "Williams' Pink Pills. They actually combine with food and air to make new blood. They have cured hundreds of cases of anaemia in New Zealand. In tho case of Mrs John Mennio, 10 Baker street, Auckland, they effected a remarkable cure. Speaking of her experience to a reporter, Mrs Mennio said : " I used to bo extremely delicate as a child, and as I grew up to girlhood I did not rally. I only wasted and faded more than ever. I very rarely sat down to a meal; if L took a oup of tea it would not be down one moment. Such a heavy burning pain started in my chest and I used to starvo myself, rather than eat and suffer afterwards. I was as thin as anyone could be. I had no colour; even my gums and Jips were quite white, and dark lines were under my eyes. A cut in the flesh would bleed a good deal, but the blood looked just like pinkish water. I ached all over, and my ankles swelled greatly if I stood for long. My feet and hands were like ice. I would go near distracted with the constant aeho in my head. All day and night it throbbed and burned till I could hardly hold up. I was in employment, but I hud often to give up and como home —sometimes for a few days and sometimes longer. When I hurried my heart thumped furiously. Tho least bit of hill-climbing affected my heart so that I got quite out of breath and had to stop and gasp. I often wished myself dead. I could never sleep soundly, and on occasions woke up bathed in perspiration, with every atom of strength gone out of me. I never wanted company or pleasure, only just to rest was all I craved for. I got up each morning quite fagged and unrefrcshed. Tho medicines I took did me good for the time being, and that was all. Mother was very worried to see me fading fo, and ;it last 'she got me a course of Dr Williams' Pills. They were just tho medicine- my system needed. The second box made a "wonderful difference. By slow degrees rny blood turned richer, some colour camo into my face, and I began to eat. With the second box tho languid feeling gradually passed off, and I became well and strong." The price of Dr Williams' Pink Pills is 3s per box, six boxes 16s 6d, and if you have trouble in getting them send a postal note for the- amount to the Dr Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington, and they will be sent post free by return mail.
