HEALTH WRECKED FROM BLOODLESSNESS. Six Weeks in the Auckland Hospital. Auckland Woman Utterly Run Down, Built Up and Strengthened by Dr. Williams 1 Pink Pills. 9 " As a girl I was very healthy, but about six years ago I began to get run down, and got worse each day instead of better," said Mrs Mary r Mackie, 113, Hobson-street,.Auckland; New Zealand. "My appetite fell away till at last I could not fancy anything. Sometimes what I did swallow t wouldn't stay down. I couldn't sit down to a regular meal. I'd have to have something every two hours or so. My strength failed utterly. I had to 1 give up housework, and for two years I didn't do a stroke. I just had. to keep a gii'l in the house. I was in the Auckland Hospital for .six weeks, and r came out as bad as when I went" in. They said 1 would have to havu mi operation, but I felt I couldn't stand it. I fell away in liesh until I was as thin 3 as possible. All the color faded from my face and lips. I had hardly any blood in my body, they said I lookeiUike a walking ghost. If I cut myself s the blood was just like water, and would hardly trickle. I hud violent headaches lasting for hours at a time. I'd be so dizzy with them that I couldn't 3 bear anyone near me, and the slightest noise drove me distracted. 1 had hot flannels to the nape of my neck and would go straight to bed. After eating ; I'd get burning pains at the breast bone, running right through to my shoulder blades. I'd feel quite suffocated. My back was always aching cruelly. I , only wanted to lie down all day on the lounge. I could hardly bent or stoop. I felt as if a knife were going through me. My heart would then thump wildly at the least exertion. If I climbed a\stair I'd have to sit down at the top and gasp for breath. _ Neighbours would help me occasionally and make I me little dainties, such as beef tea. For months at a time I never went out of the house. I was carried each day from my bed to the couch on the balcony, and when we removed I had to be taken in a cab. My tongue was always coated and it gave me a horrid taste. At night I slept very badly. I'd toss and turn for hours, and start up in bed with bad turns as if I were choking. I had several doctors, and though I spent large sums of money I got no lasting benefit. Then I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to give them a fair chance. The first box did me a little good. I kept on with i them, taking just three a day. Soon my face and lips got some color in them, and I began to regain my figure and iill out. I used to be most ' wretchedly downcast, but this passed off, as my health and strength returned. That cruel backache ceased, and I found myself able once more to get about and do housework, and last Christmas I was able to take a holiday to Wellington. People could hardly believe it. lam a changed woman since I took Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I ever 1 feel myself running down I take one." 'NOT ENOUGH BLOOD TO~KEEP GOING. New Zealand Woman Too Weak and 111 for Work. Heart Palpitation, Breath I ess ness, Neuralgia. -Health Regained Through Dr. Wiiliams' Pink Pills. "I was always inclined to be delicate," said Mrs Southall, cr. Vauxhall and Burgess-roads, Dcvonport, Auckland. "My appetite was never good. Sometimes I couldn't keep down what food I had taken. My bands were clammy and my feet cold. I couldn't stand for long, my ankles and feet felt so weak and puffed up. I had nervous shooting headaches that stayed for hours, and nearly distracted me. They lay in the temples and on the top of my head mostly. The pains pressed on my eyes, and would stop me from sewing or reading. Sometimes I had attacks of indigestion. The food lay on my ch(\--fc, and .sent dull aches to my very shoulder blades. My eyes would go unusually bright, and my mouth was always parched. The least surprise brought on hysterical fits of crying and laughing. I hadn't the strength or the heart to do my housework. I'd bo tired out in a few minutes. I was as depressed as if something dreadful was going to happen, and I was just nervousness itself. The least sound would start me trembling. I was afraid to stay in a room by myself. My circulation was very feeble. From any cut in my linger, for instance, the blood would be light and watery, and hardly run at all. My back often ached so much I'd have to go and lie down. Some days r<l pass in bed or on the sofa, too wornout to do anything, and perhaps next day I'd feel better, and then ill again. My heart would palpitate wildly without apparent reason, and if I walked up a hill I'd be nearly dead when I got to the top and have to stop every few moments for breath. I slept vary restlessly at night, and was troubled with a cough and ;i, buzzing sound in my ears. I was subject to neuralgia also, but all these treubles yielded to a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I tried them three years ago. I had been raclier run down for a long time previously. I had medical advice, but I didn't get a bit of relief with all the medicine. After the third box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I felt so much better that I left them off and took three more boxes later on. They toned up my system wonderfully. The heart palpitation and nervousness left me and J felt my blood getting richer. I began to eat better and felt brighter in spirits. The six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills suited me wonderfully. I feel quite a different woman now and am glad I tried them " It is a fact that bloodlessness is more prevalent at the present time— the-end of summer-than at any rime of the yean ' This is to some extent to be expected in New Zealand. The tendency of warm weather always is to make the blood thin. That's why so many are found at the end of summer with pale faces, dragging steps, lack of energy, often indigestion and heart palpitation, and amongst growing girls retarded development distressing headaches. The proper remedy is more blood. To make more blood there is a medicine for that very purpose—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—that's what they are for; there is thirteen years' record to prove that they make blood. That is the way they cure the cause; then the weakness, paleness, headaches and other troubles naturally go o "Of all dealers, 3s, per boz, 6 boxes ! 6s, 6d., or from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia LtdA(/'eliin?ton.
