WEAK AND AILING. Helen Robinson, Christchurch. Blood going to water. Wasted away Week by WeekPlump and Rosy To-day. Dr, Williams' Fink Fills. "Jb'or five months I felt too weak to put ono foot before the other," said Mia; Helen KoHnson, ltakaia, near C'hristchurch. "My legs were ready to go iivm under me at every step. I had to spend half my time lying down. My tack ached woiso than if it had been bruised black and blue. -There wasn't r. scrap of colour in my face—not even in my lips. My old doctor in Temuka said my blood was .just water. After treating me for months he told me to tako Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They were tho only medicine left that could possibly make blood for me. Threo months after I started .Dr. Williams' Pink' Pills c\ reryone told me how well 1 looked. To-day lam strong>3i' and plumper than ever I was in my life before. I don't know what it is to get tired now. My health is so good that I never have even a touch of a backache. '*! was barely twenty when I started to go iiuo bad health," said Miss Robinson, vvho, by the way, is a sister of Mr. ijioert liobinson, storekeeper, of Temuka. "There was a good deal of hou'jowoik to bo done, and most of it fell on my shoulders. This proved more than my strength was able to stand. Little by little 1 found what a struggle it was to get through the. days. When night caiii'3 I was almost too tired to undrts'i myself. People told me that I was just killing myself with work. My faoo got haggard and drawn. One day I ...was as pale as death, and the next day mv skin had a dirty muddy look. My eyes felt too heavy to open, and always had deep black rings under them. You could tell by Looking at my white lips and gums that my blood wari thin and watery. Every now and then ft cold shiver ran through me. Igavo up trying to get my feet warm. Even my hands were stone cold. Everyono I met had the one cry—'Whatever are you doing with yourself? You do look ill!' "I grew so thin that all my clothes (started to lap over on me. I didn't wonder at that for my appetite was worse than wretched. For months I didn't know what it was to feel hungry. When J did chance to fancy anything, it »vas never food that would'do me aiiy good. I always had a craving for somethinp; sour. Every time I sat down 10 the table I ate less. No matter' v/hafc J forced down, it made ray face burn like fire. There was a horrible dry tasto in my mouth, and my throat felt parched. The very sight of food took away my appetite. Even milk was too strong for my stomach. Five milnutes after I drank it, I wanted to vomit. A thick iiazo came over "my eyes, and my head spun round and round. A rioi.c/a like the humming of hundreds of baes came in n»y ears. Then I grew cold all over, and went as limp as a rag. I douldn't tell' you what I felt liko when these sick turns came over ioe. I was far worse than if I had fallen in a dead faint. ''Tho doctor spared no pains to build me up, but none of his medicine was aWa to make any bleed for me. In spito of everything I grew weaker. There was something very wrong with my nerves. If the tea-tray fell over, it set me all of a tremble. I dreaded' to bo left alono in the house. If a door blew open, I was terrified to shirt.it. Try as 1 would, I could not settle my, mind on any one thing. In the middle of straightening up a room 1 would leave it, and go and. begin something else. I used to think that no one had worries like me. Everything went against me. Often I felt wretched ■enough to cry my heart out. I went to bed downhearted and woke up next .morning more miserable than ever. I waa.aehes arid 'pains*all over. My back r,v, as ready to go in two. Sometimes my Jjnees trembled till I could not stand. iJSvery littla "while in the day I had to ctJjro.w my^f-'"down Ton'the ■'conch.

Any exertion like this made the perspiration roll off me. The doctor said that was because I was so very weak. -JViy were; alway s at me .to take a holiday.! But "I &iniply hadn't- the heart to go anywhere. And I couldn't bo, bothered with people coming to see me;"• I pouldn't rouse myself to talk to thorn. Every ohance I got I was away moping by myseif. There ©aemed no hope of me ever getting well agaifn. I ■was a, mere shadow of my old self. At last I had to give up trying to do housework , When I wasn't in b?d, I had to spend my time lying on the sofa. Tho doctor was puzzlad at? my Weak low state. He couldn't make out .why I Avas going back all the time. It looked as if I was slipping into a hopeles1? Decline. "When tho doctor found out that i van making no headway, he told me to knock off his medicine and give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a good steady trial," Miss Robinson went on. "That very day I got some. At first I thought Dr. Williams' Pink Pills weren't going <o do mo any good. I had almost finished the fourth box before I could se<j I was bettc;* in any way. But at homo they noticed how much better I war; 'eating, before I had been taking th« pills a week. At the end of a month there was a big change m me Aly face lost ics sallow look, and my cheek-j began to get rosy. And when my backacho eased up, I knew that I war; getting stronger. My legs losx their weak and shaky feeling. I was ablo to bust'o about, and 'never feel any effects from my heart. Everyone, told me I was getting more like my old self. When I had finished 12 boxet; of D/. Williams' Pink Pills I hadn't a ear a in tho world. I took a different tiew of life altogether. To-day my health in perfect. I can be on my feet from morning till night, and then not fee! tired." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually makn new blood. That is all they do, but they do it well.
