LADS SAVED FROM A NASTY FALL
(From a Co-jU.rporary.) The report of a popular young lady's escape from a nasty accident reached us jus.t as we were going to pres«, so _ a reporter called without delay upon Miss Petrea Peterson at her residence in Feitheratoue, for particulars.
" I | hear, Miss Peterson," said be, " that you have been saved from a uaaty 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 bead first to tbe floor."
• 4 How were you saved from injury ?"
" Well, I just had presence of mind enough % to clutch the furniture; then I sank down into a chair utterly exhausted. This occurred beveral times, for 1 had been weak and anaemic at:d subject tn dizziness for several years iLy face was thin and pale, my lips bloodless, and I suffered from fearful, throbbing headaches. I could neither eat nor sleep properly ; more tban once at ni»ht I have been taken with cramp io tbe legp, tbe stinging, tingling pain caused me to scream. If I went upstairs my heart palpitated rapidly and I would have to rest to recover my breath ; sometimes I was coo weak to bpeak. During my illness doctors attended me, but their treatment did not strengthen me. In June '97, I saw an advertisement io the Evening News in which a young lady told bow she bad beencured of anaemia by Dr William's pink pills tor 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 ; I am 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 immediate cause, such as loss of appetite, pain after eating, bilioueness, aluggisb liver, headaches, etc. Dr Williams' pink pills make new blood with every dose, and thus assist young ladies to develop pioperly and regularly ; they strengthen the nerves and ward of the danger of consumption ; they have cured cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, consumption, St Vitus' dance, rickets, skin diseases, ladies' ailments, effects of pneumonia, plennsy, influenza, fevers, etc. Sold by chemists and •torekeepers and tbe Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Beware of imitatioas dyed pink ; they are useless and may be poisonous.
