THE YOUNG LADY WHO WOULD GO TO A DANCE.

"I went to such a delightful dance last night," said a young lady, by name Miss Elsie Kelly, of 42, Palmer Street, Darlinghurst, thereby disclosing the fact that life stiir contained pleasures and comforts for her. " But," continued she, " less than a month ago, however, I never expected to be ' able to dance again, as I was suffering most virulently from a fearful attack of antenna that threatened to cut my existence short. You see, I'm in my teens, and am consequently at an age that is critical to all Australian girls. My trouble began with indigestion in the most cruel form. Without apparent reason, I found myself forced to liye on small jjieces of toast, water biscuits, bqvril,' aud such light food, and even the digestion of these occasioned me the greatest pain; so bad was I, that I was even unable to take vegetable. Excessive palpitation of the heart also distressed me acutely, and this became so exhausting that even if I merely went up the stairs (a short flight) any heart would beat with, such terrific 1 force against my side that I could hear it plainly, and I was always compelled to sink into a chair for several minutes to recover my breath, and till the excited heart-beat-ing quietened somewhat. I was even unable to walk \vp the bill on the eastern portion of the Domain, near "Woolloouiooloo, without ' support. My kneecaps swelled to an extraordinary size, and sharp, shooting pains | wonld dart persistently down my logs if I essayed to walk ; the agony was as unendurable as if I'd been struck with red-hot iron rods. Frequently I was compelled to put my legs oft" the ground on to a chair so as to ease the awful f>ain in my knees. If I did go for a walk, when I returned, after suffering excruciating agony all the way, I w6iild be quite unable to sleep — an unprecedented occurrence with me. .At times, also, I was attacked by headaches, my face was always pale, dark rings came like stains under my eyes, which lost their lustre. I was also totally unable to ride my bicycle. I had always a nauseating taste in my mouth, and my gum.-, turned to a peculiar white colour. My breathing was forced and difficult, while I always felt so ill, so tired, and so thoroughly ' done up ' in every way that I could neither go out nor remain at home Avith composure. These fearful sufferings continued for three weeks, and my mother, in a frenzy of fright, consulted a well-known doctor. 'It's nna'inia/ he said, 'and that is a terrible complaint. Her blood is povertystricken, and likely enough this is the first stage of consumption.' My mother suggested a trial of JDr Williams' Pink Pills for Pa e People, as she had heard a most satisfactory account of them : but the medico merely shrugged his shoulders, looked imperturbable, and remarked, deprecatingly, ' Try them if you like :' " She did like, and that probably," said the young lady, with a liash of spirit, "is the reason I am hero to-day in perfect health to tell you all about it. I took the pills according to directions, and shortly .afterwards a change for the better resulted, whilst a little later on 1 found myself wholly and totally cured. ' Pains, puffiness, .heart-palpitation, indigestion, headaches, sleeplessness, the nauseous taste in my mouth, the restlessness and the constant feeling of despondency, were all swept from my system. The blushes came back to my cheeks, the sparkle to my eyes, the sprightliness to my step, the buoyant feeling to my heart, the dark circles disappeared from under my eyes, and my gums regained their natural colour of red; In short, I was a new person, better and stronger even than before I had been ill. This is the first time I have ever had sickness in my life, and I only hope that if I should ever fall ill again T will have this complete, wonderful and sovereign remedy with me. "' Mrs Kelly corroborated every word that her daughter had said, making many kindly references to Dr Williams' Pin'k Pills for Pale People, which she assured us she would recommend to all who came within her reach. Mr Kelly, who has a host of friends, is well and favourably known, especially in maritime circles, as the head stevedore of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company, Limited. Miss Kelly's words clearly show that her cure is permanent. These pills are not like other medicine, fmel tlieii- oft'eet.-: aft! permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus' it is that they are so famous for the cure ol' aua'inia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and to restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. Thoy are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and tints have cured many cases of paralysis, loeomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St Yitiis's dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams'* Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., at :te a box, or six for Ms <)d, but nv(! <rwiuino only with full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pak People. See that your chemist, docs not substi.tuto something just, as "ood when making your pin-chase*.' Tin- -just as good kin" cost him less money, and lie i.s looking out for his pocket, not'vonr health.
