LADY SAVED FROM A NASTY FALL.
♦— , (From a Contemporary.) The report of a popular young lady's escape from a nasty accident reached us just as we were going to press, so a reporter called without delay upon Miss OPetrea. Peterson at her residence in Featherstone, for particulars. "I hear, Miss Peterson," said he, "that you have been saved from a nasty fall." "Yes, indeed," was the reply, "but it occurred some time ago. It was in this •way: Suddenly whilst walking through a room, I found myself falling head first to the floor." " How were you saved from injury?" '"Well, I jusfc had presence of mind enough to clutch the furniture; then I down into a chair utterly, exhausted. JEhis occurred several times, for I had been, ! weak and: ansmic and subject to dizziness ;(for several years.; my face was than and, pale, my lips bloodless, and I suffered from fearful, throbbing headaches. I could neither eat nor sleep properly; more than ,©nee at night I have been taken with cramp | i in the legs, the stinging, tingling pain causing me to scream. If I went upstairs my j beart palpitated rapidly and I would have to rest to recover my breath ; sometimes I was too weak to speak. During my illness ' doctors attended me, but their treatment did not strengthen me. Id. June, 1897, I saw an advertisement in the 'Evening News' In which a young lady told how slhc Jjad been cured of- anaemia by Dr Williams' •pink pills for pale people. I sent for a supply, and even after a few doses felt (better. Four boxfuls strengthened me greatly; five more cured me. There is no trace of anaemia about me now ; lam bright and strong; I- sleep soundly and my complexion is greatly improved." - The cause of many ailments which afflict women and men is bloodlessness, or anaemia. Insufficient blood leads to a train of symptoms having indigestion as their im- . mediate cause, suck as loss of appetite, .pain after eating, biliousness, sluggish liver; headaches, etc. Dr Williams' pink pills make new blood with every dose, and thus assist young ladies to develop properly and regularly; they strengthen the nerves and ward off the danger of consumption; 'they nave cured cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, consumption, St Vitus' dance, rickets, skin diseases, ladies' ailments, effects of pneumonia, pleurisy, influenza, fevers, etc. Sold by chemists and store-, keepers and the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, 3s per box, six boxes 16s 6d, poßt free.
