AT DEATH 7 S DOOR.

Mrs J. Murray, Chnlstchurch. Another Life Saved by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

"I was at Death's door when I started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," said Mrs Catherine Murray, the young wife of John Murray, who has an excellent connection as a hairdresser in Christchurch, where he lives at 58 Caledonian Road. "From the time I left school until I was 21, I was never done ailing. If. it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I would never have Tjcen in a fit state to marry. My blood was in a terrible condition. There was no telling what' suffering the next month had in store for me. No one knows how bad I was, for I could not bring myself to tell even a doctor. I got so weak that my sight started to go. My nerves broke down, and there was something aw--ful wrong with my heart. All thought of ever being well again never entered my head. In fact, I never knew the 'day when I would drop dead. But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills changed all that. They worked a miracle for me. They built me up, and gave mo health that any woman would be proud of. They actually saved my life. "For 'five years no one could have suffered more than. I — and all for • want of good, pure blood," said Mrs Murray. "I was always doctoring myself, but nothing did me the least good. E.very morning I got up with a thumping, throbbing headache. Often I had hardly enough strength to dress myself. All day long my back used to ache till I thought it would break. "My illness "began at 16," Mrs Murray added.- My life was a misery from that time on till a year or so ago when Dr. Williams' Pink Pills built me up into a strong, healthy young woman. Two days out of every month I used to have to stay in bed. I simply couldn't get up then — I .was too weak. The pains in my stomach made me roll in agony. My whole inside seemed on fire. I was Sying of thirst, but I couldn't bear the sight of food. The smell of cooking turned me sick. A few mouthfuls of tea made me vomit. The horrible sour stuff I brought up was vile. My blood seemed to be full of vile and poison. At my best I never had the least appetite for mv meals. I ate so little at any time that it is a wonder I lived at all. "Every day I grew worse. Soon I gave up all hope of getting well," Mrs Murray wbnt on 'to say. "I lost all heart, and ■fcHeii'' i »iyAnerves broke down. The least thing made me jump with, a start. The slam of a door would leave me for the rest of the day witji a splitting headache. I got so bad that my sight began to go. I used to lie and toss listening to the ticking of the clock, and thinking that daylight ; would never come. In fact, I was a .nervous wreck. I was so weak and worn in every way that I was afraid I might drop dead at any moment. '1 had not been fit for housework for a long time" when I read of a case very much like my own that had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," added Mrs Murray. "I got a few boxes at once, and made up my mind to give them a fair trial. If four or five boxes did not cure me I would . have taken a dozen. But the first box gave me a little appetite, and I knew that 1 had got the right medicine at last. My biliousness and nervousness disappeared, and I' began to gain in weight and colour. By the time I had finished my supply I had not a headache or a backache. I was eating like a school-boy and sleeping like a top. I married happily soon afterwards, and to-day there isn't a healthier woman in all Christchurch — thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." * What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for Mrs Murray 'they are doing for scores of other women in New Zealand. Every dose sends galloping through the veins pure, strong, rich, red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all secret illhealth. The new blood restores regularity and braces all the organs for their special tasks. -Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. That is all they do, but they do it well. They don't act on the bowels or trouble with the mere symptoms of disease. They -just root out the cause of disease from the blood itself. It is through the blood and the blood only that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure paleness, skin troubles like eczema, anaemia, indigestion, headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, kidney and liver complaint, lumbago, sciatica, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, failing- powers and tho special irregularities in tlie health of growing girls and women. But, of course. y6u must ■ got the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People— always in boxes, never in bottles. From storekeepers and chemists, or post free from tlie Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Old Custom House St., Wellington— 3/- a box; six boxes 16/6. Medical advice given free.
