GOING INTO A DECLINE.

MRS ALLEN, CHEISTCHUSCH BLOOD NO BETTER THAN WATER WASTING AWAY FOR TWO YEARS TO-DAY A PICTURE OF HEALTH DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. " Looking at me to-day, you would never think that, two years ago, I was on the verge of a decline," said Mrs .Bessie Ailen, 54, Ca<eoonlan Road, Christchurch. , "My biood started to go to water, and I wasted away till 1 was nothing better than a skeleton. Everyone who came to the house said how dsad.y ill I looked. It waß no use trying to build up my strength, for I couldn't keep any food down on my stomach. I got weaker and weaker, till my whole health went to pieces. .My nerves were all on edge, and I grew too downhearted for words. That was the state I was in when I started to- take Dr Williams' Pink Pills. In a month, I was a different creature. Six boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills made me one of the healthiest women in Christchurch. "It is going on for foxir years since I started to break down," said Mrs Allen. "Every month my blood grew weaker- and poorer. My face turned sallow. My lips and gums were almost blue for want of blood. I hated t-3; look iv the glass — my faco was so drawn and haggard. 'My eye 3 had great dark circles under them, and they were sunk away back in my head. My feet were Lke blocks of ice, and my hands were every bit as coid. I got thinner every week, till I was little more than ekin and bone. " People kept telling me what I ought to take to. make me fat and bui.d me up again — but they little knew how bad I really was. My tongue' was all coated and I could never get rid of the vile taste in my mouth. Ifi was all very well telling me to eat this .and eat that — but I hated the very sight of food. When I did force myself to eat anything, it lay like lead underneath my breastbone, and gave me no end of pain. Even a biscuit or a cup of water turned sour on my stomach, and set me vomiting. That took every atom of strength I had. ♦ ; " I was hardly ever free from bilious headaches," Mrs Allen went on to s«y. "They never left me from the time I got up till I went to bed. The strain soon told on my nerves. I was always irritable. My dearest friend bored me. I wanted, to be alone all, the time, for. I waß always on. the verge of tears and fancied there was. some great trouble hanging over me. At night, I was too^nervous to sleep. I just tossed from dde to side. Every little whilo I kept thinking" I could hear strange footsteps about the house. Evfery' hour seamed as long as three. It -flrfls often half .way through the night before I dropped off to sleep! In the morning I got tip too weak and. tired to stand. I started every <iay with a dull heavy feeling and all out of sorts.' -I was so nervoiis that my ,own* shadow frightened me. The least sound made me jump and set my. heart thumping like mad. Any ];ttle excitement sent a flush arid a cold shiver, over me. I was so ill and. wretched that I never knew the day when I would have to take to my bed and never get up again. "No one can understand how wretched and ill I was. unless they have gone through the same . themselves. At times my legs were too shaky to hold me. I couldn't stand for any length, of time. After settingthe dinner-table: I had to sit down and rest. My breath went, and a smothering feeling camp over me.: Next thing my heart started to [flutter; and 1 race, and I got all of a tremble. 'Whenever I tried to hurry, I had j to atop withe the pain that caught me in the left side. Soon I got so bad that it was a struggle for me to walk a few steps. Without any warning my head started to swim, .and then I was down in a half faint. •"For two weary years I dragged along in this awful plight," added Mrs Allen.^. "People told me of all: sorts of things to do me good, but I tried them all, and. they were all worthless.. At last my blood was no better than so; ;much dirty water. I was just on the virge 'o£ !tlle grave when I started Dr WiliparisfriSnk Pills for ' Pale People. Even, the sscoii'd box did me a little good. It gave me &ii . appetite, and I soon noticed Bow much better ua'y headache and backache was. When;'' the last box wjae empty • I wfts.-ia-^ffei;e!ttt(: : woman. I "slept the toliole night* throusrh,.; and got up 'next morning bright 'and ener- ' getic. " New blood flowed to every part of my body. A healthy colour came in my cheeks, and I gained in weight. , I am now a strong healthy woman, able to do mv housework with comfort and ease. Dr Williams' Pink Pills saved my life after I had been wasting away for two years." Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. That is all they do, but they do it ■well.
