A Girl's Friends.
A girl cannot be too careful in her choice of acquaintances, because it is in her teens as it were that a girl's character developes, and good advice at this juncture from her comrades—those whom she feels an affectionate regard for— seldom fails to bear fruit afterwards. Bad advice, on the other hand, is likely to prove most injurious. Miss P. Peterson, of Featherstone, North island, has many girl friends, and they have frequently given her good advice. This is what she -ays :—" Some time ago my friends noticed that I was becoming very pale and thin. I was suffering from amnmia —poorness of the blood —and I could not | find any cure for it. I was attacked with cramps, insomnia, headaches, and in fact was so greatly debilitated that I could not perform my household duties. Whenever I even walked upstairs my heart would palpitate frightfully against my sjdes, and its throbbing both alarmed and distressed me. I had turns of vertigo and fainting fits, and was altogether iu a bad way. Physicians were consulted and they carefully prescribed for me, but unfortunately I obtained little apparent benefit. I was advised to use Dr. Williams' pink pills, and one day noticing them advertised I decided to purchase some. I did so, and before I had taken one box, in fact after the third dose, I found a change for the better. Each box I took improved me, for I was in a frightfully weak condition, and could not expect to be cured quite suddenly. Now, however, I am in perfect health, and J am very pleased to advise my friends whenever I see them run down or debilitated to try Dr Williams' pink pills. This I know from personal experience is really good advice." Dr. Williams'pinkpills are also very good for curing rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, influenza, fever, measles, ladies' ailments, loss of vital strength, paralysis, locomotor, ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, and many other ailments. They are sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, price three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and sixpence. Avoid substitutes and get the genuine with all seven words, Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, printed in red ink on pink outside wrapper. These are the pills which had such a good effect upon Miss Peterson,
