NARROW ESCAPE OF A GIRL.

St. Leonards has been the scene of numerous startling events in the coarse of its career, whicn have excited the attention, not only of the borough itself, but of the whole country. Recently there has been another striking incident, which has been the subject of much comment, which, moreover, has an instructive side. A narrow escape from death arrested' attention, and the Hastings Observer visited the heroine, Miss Sarah E. Gough, of St. Leonards, a prepossessing rosy-faced young woman, looking the picture of health. ‘ I used to suffer from anaemia,’ she said, ‘ and was ill for four or five months. I kept getting worse and worse, and was so weak that I could not walk about. I used to wish 1 could die. I could*not eat anything without being sick, and for two or three days I would go without anything to eat at all. When I went upstairs I had to go up two or three at a time, and then take a rest. I had no breath for walking. I lost all my color ; a very clever doctor told me that I had not got half a pint of blood in me, and that what I had was no good, adding that I was on the verge of consumption. I had to take to my bed —I could not stand. The doctor tried my heart and said it was very weak. I had very bad palpitations, and used to suffer from indigestion. At last I tried Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peoplp. Everybody was telling me about them, and the good they had done. After I had been taking them about a week I began to feel better. I had more colour, and regained my strength. My breath came back too. I took them continuously for about two months, leaving off taking them about four months ago.’ ‘ And now you feel quite well P’ ‘Yes, I am better now than ever I was in my life. The people used to ask whatever was the matter with me. They told me I was in consumption.’ Miss Gough’s words clearly show that her cure is permanent. These Pills are not like other medicine, and their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of anaemia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and to restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St. Vitus’ dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams’ Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., at 3s a box, or six for 15s 9d, but are genuine only with full name, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
