CONSUMPTION CURED.

DOCTORS UTTERLY BAFFLED,

GIRL'S LIFE SAVED,

DR. AVILLIAMS* PINK PILLS,

"Nine years ago I was dying of Consumption," said Miss E. Henstridge, the well-known costumicrc of Nhill. " Month after month I wasted away. The leading doctors of Melbourne could do nothing for me. I was on the verge of the grave when I started Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They changed me from a dying consumptive girl into the strong healthy woman that you see to-day. I owe my life to Dr Williams' Pink Pills.

" For a long time I had been ailing," Miss Henstridge went on. " I was just a growing girl at the time, and my blood-supply was overtaxed. Every month I grew paler and weaker. My blood had neither strength nor color. My face turned almost grey, and my lips and gums were the same deadly color. I was weary and always languid. It was too much trouble to walk across the room. I hated the thought of meal-time. It vas simply agony trying to force food down when my stomach rebelled at every mouthful. My tongue was coated white, and there was a vile taste in my mouth.

" My back ached morning, noon and night. Often I nearly went mad with headaches. It felt as though there was something swelling inside my brain and trying to burst it open. My head would spin round, and everything in front of nly eyes grow dim. People used to remark on the strange sparkle of my eyes —but, I think, they only seemed so bright on account of the deep dark rings under them. You had only to look at me to see I had no good, warm blood. My hands and feet were always cold. Sometimes a hot flush would come over me, and leave me sick and faint.

" One clay I went right off in a dead faint, and that was the first sign I had that I was in Consumption," Miss Henstridge added. "Afterthat I had these faints every few days. Without any warning 1 would fall down in a swoon. It was just as if I were dead. Coming round was like waking from a long sleep. Everyone pitied me. There seemed to be no earthly hope of me ever shaking off the deadly disease. " Every hour I seemed to be getting weaker and nearer my grave. One day I had a fit of coughing, and began to spit blood. The sight of that blood was an awful shock. I knew it meant my death. I was afraid to move for fear I would injure my lungs and start them bleeding. Every cough brought blood—and walking across the room set me coughing. The cough felt as if a lot of fish-hooks were being pulled up and down my chest. It was an awful tearing, ripping pain. l . After every bout I had to lie down for hours.

"At night I was too nervous to sleep. Every little sound set my heart beating like mad. Of course, my heart was very weak. My lungs was so bad that often I could hardly catch my breath. And all the time I was fading away—a hopeless Consumptive.

" The leading doctors attended me—but not one of them did me the least good. After trying so many doctors in vain, and taking so many different remedies, I gave up all hope. All I prayed for was that Death would soon come to end all my misery. In this pitiful state I started taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," Miss Henstridge concluded. " I read how they had cured others even worse than myself, so I got a supply from Blackburn, the Nhill chemist. But it was not until I had taken two boxes that I noticed any real improvement. After that I began to mend slowly. The hemorrhage began to get less, and I picked up wonderfully in strength. By the time I had taken seven boxes the change in me was simply marvellous. I ate well, slept splendidly, and quickly gained in weight. To-day there isn't a trace of Consumption about me. My health could not be better. When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my lifethey worked a regular miracle." \ Miss Henstridge's , case is, indeed, a miracle. It baffled doctor after doctor. In the Vend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured her just as they cure all diseases that are caused by-bad blood. . In fact they actually make new blood. They do just that one thing— but they do it well. They don't acton the bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms. They won't cure any disease that isn't caused originally by bad blood. But that is the cause of all common ailments such as anaemia, decline, general weakness, backaches, headaches, indigestion, rheumatism,- neuralgia, sciatica, partial paralysis, and locomotor ataxia.
