A GIRL SAVED FROM THE GRAVE

" lam nineteen years of age," said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand, to a press representative who interviewed her last month, " and since I was fifteen I have been suffering, more or less. I had acute palpitation of the heart, which was brought about by anaemia, or bloodlessuess, to which I was long a martyr. Whenever I nin upstairs my heart would thump violently against my sides, and I would be quite speechless for several moments until I recovered my breath. Night after night I tossed, weary and woru-out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation. I was always in a weak, low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would at times swell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I grew worse and worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused me almost to fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctors, but they gave no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I .suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless, I one day noticed an advertisement for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897,1 commenced taking thsm Tstrictly according to directions. After the third dose I found a change for the better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine boxes, and am now in every way in the most perfect health. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramp, and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and tho affection in my eye has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailn.ents at all during the past four months, it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. The pills have absolutely cured me, and I will always kiep some of them by me. I feel fit for my work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has' tried several boxes herself. lam awfully thankful to them, and I have recommended Ihem to oil my friends. Four of them speak exactly as I do of the Pills, and cannot praise them too highly. I am well known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case witii interest. You can use this testimonial in any way you desire." Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medecine, hut are a thoroughly scientific preparation, tho result of years of careful study on the part of an eminent Edinburgh University physician, and they were successfully used by him in his everyday practice for years before being offered for general sale.
