FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH.

•i It is not within the reach of all to become a Barnato, but it is certain that many now inclose association with want could by a little sterling application' in the right direction raise themselves to a pitch of comfort. As an instance, the case of Miss Bowe, of North Maldon, may be quoted. This lady was a victim to poverty of blood, but now we are happy to add has, through the operations of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, gained possession of renewed good health. "My daughter had been strong and healthy until about two years ago," said Mrs Bowe to a reporter of the " Tarrangower Times " (Victoria), " when she grew very pale and thin. She became weak and low-spirited, lost her appetite, her sleep was troubled and restless, and the least exertion fatigued her ; in fact, she had to take her sister's arm for support when out walking. She was of a wonderfully active and cheerful disposition before this change took place, and the alteration, therefore, caused us great concern, and medical aid was sought. But no good resulted. Several medicines were tried, but she became weaker and more listless every day. The doctor said she was suffering from ancemia, or poorness of blood. We then became seriously alarmed, and consulted different medical men, who prescribed, and told Miss May to take as much exercise as possible. Shs, being fond of flowers, naturally turned her attention to the garden, but had to abandon the work, as the least exertion exhausted her. Often, when I thought she was out taking exercise in the fresh air, I have found her in the drawing-room with her head resting in her hands, and in a somnolent state. Then, when disturbed, she would steal quietly to her room, and remain there for hours at a time. At this stage we became extremely anxious concerning her health, and again sought medical advice, as we thought she was going into a decline. It was of no use though; nothing did her any good. She was then so thin and weak that the slightest exertion tired her. She also suffered from severe cramps in the legs. "Friends then recommended patent medicines, and two or three kinds were tried, unsuccessfully. "At last I decided .to take her away to the country for a change, but just as I was about to do so I saw in the " Tarrangower Times " an advertisement about Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and noticing that people with symptoms similar to those of my daughter had been cured, I determined she should give them a trial. " After using half a br>x a great improvement was noticeable, and after using three boxes she regained her appetite, was able to sleep with comfort, and was so strong and well that we considered there was no necessity for her continuing to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. So she discontinued them. I honestly believe my daughter's recovery was due to this great remedy. She is now as well as ever she was in her life. She has a fine colour, is able to eat and sleep well, and can take any amount of out-door exercise without feeling fatigued. I feel very grateful to Dr Williams for my daughter's recovery, and would like to have the case made known, as it may induce others who suffer as , my daughter did to try this remedy to their benefit, and thus perhaps bring sunshine and happiness to their home 3." Great satisfaction has been expressed by Miss Bowe's large circle of friends that she is again enjoying health, and able to take her accustomed place at local social gatherings. The public will study their own interests by demanding the genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Imitators are now in every corner of Australasia, and unscrupulous dealers deceive the public when they state that anything else is "just as good." ©r Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark. They are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud yov,, and should be avoided. Ask your dealer for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Failing to secure the genuine, send to the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward, on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s. or half-dozen for 15s 9d. The i>riee at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment
