PRETTY BABY STORIES
(FOR MOTHERS
A pathetic story of a baby comes from from Otago's great, grain producing district. The child's mother tells the tale: —
"Although Ethel is only - thre©-and-a;-half years she has passed through s-ome terrible experiences,"'said Mrs M. J. Jones, of Enfield, Waiareka (near Oamaru), "and but for Dr Williams' pink pills she would, probably, still be a victim to congestion of the lungs and consumption of the bowels. Little Ethel was only six months, old when she was taken ill. Fits of coughing racked her tiny frame. She was always very weak and sometimes very feverish. Her stomach and bowels were in a. bad state, and she had acute internal pains. Often we had to sit up with her all night lone Teething troubles made her ailments! ; worse. Two doctors attended her. One said she might lie a fortnight, but could not live more than four months. We tried all kinds of treatment without success. Then having, read of oases where little children in Invercargill, Bolciutha, Dunedin, Timaru, Christehurch. Wellington, Masterton, Stratford and Thames were cured by Dr Williams' pink ipills" we gave her some. We got the kind made specially for N.Z.. which had the address, 'Wellington, New Zealand,' printed in red on the pink drapper. . She was very ill when we began them, bull they soon improved her. Gradually the ipiains lessened, her appetite improved, the consumption of the. bowels abated and her lungs grew clearer. After taking a number of boxes she. became quite strong and healthy. She used to be always crying with pain, but now she is full of childish tricks and plays about happily all day long." • The experiences of little Ethel Jones, of Enfield, Oamaru, show that Dr Williams' pink )p;iils are worth their weight in gold for children. Their tiny bodies have not the strength to get nourishment, from their food, and to fight all the diseases which threaten them. They want, new strenj?Hi—anfl that can only come from new blood. That's the secret of their wonderful power. They cannot harm, the most delicate babe For a child under ten the dose is one-third of a pill after each meal. Children over ten may take half a. pill. Ine pills can be cut with a knife and dissolved in water if necessary. They will make your children grow "healthy, rosy and haiwv. That's the experience of hundreds —including the little daughter of Mrs M. J. Jones, of Enfield. Oa.ma.ru.
