WASTING AWAY.

Mrs Allen, ' Chfiitchurch Blood Turned to Water Two Years in a Decline jMSt Skin and Bone Fad ing' Away to Her Death Picture of Health To-day Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

"Looking at me to-day, you would never think that, two years ago, I was on tho verge of a decline," said Mrs Bessie Allen, 54 Caledonian Road, Christchurch. "My blood started to go to water, and 1 wasted away till I was nothing better than a skeleton, ilveryono who tame to the hone- 1 ' said how deadly ill I looked. It was no use trying to build up my strength, for I couldn't keep any food down on my stomach. I got weaker and weaker, till my wholo heulth went to pieces. My nerves v\ero all on edge, and I grew too downhearted lor wordii. That was the state I was in when I started to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pill 3 for Pale People. In a month, 1 was a different creature. Six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pille made ir.o one of the healthiest women in Christchurch.

"Ifc is going on four years since I started to break down," said Mis Allen. "Every month my blood grew weaker and poorer. My face- turned sallow. Even my lirs weio almost blue for want of blood. I hated to look iv tho glass— my face was 60 drawn and haggard. My eyes had great dark circles under ihem, and they were sunk away back in my head. My feet were like blocks of ice, and my hands wore every bit as cold. I got thinner every week, till I was little more than skin and bone. "People kept telling me what I ought to take to make me fat and build me up again — out they little knew fc«w v- a a 1 really was. My tongue was all coated, and I could never get rid of the vile tasto in my mouth. It was all very well telling mo' to eat this and eat that — but I hated the very sight of food. When I did force myself to cat anything, it lay like lead underneath my breastbone, and mado me miserable for hours. Even a biscuit or <i cup of water turned eour on my stomach, and set mo vomiting. That took every atom of strength I had. "I was hardly ever free from bilious Itcadaches," Mrs Allen went on to say. ''They didn't leave me from the time I got up till I went to bed. The strain soon told on my nerves. I was always out of sorts. Even my dearest friend bored me. I only warned to be left alone, for I was always ( n the verge of tears and fancied there was some great trouble hanging over me. At night, I wae too nervous to sleep. I just tossed from side to side. Every littlewhile, I kept thinking I could hear strange footsteps about the house. One hour seemed as long aa throe. It was- often fi.Uf i\ay through the night before I droppod oft to a!eep. In tiie morning, I got op too weak and tired to stand. 1 started each day wiUi a dull heavy feeling and ready to cry at tho iirsfc thing that went w rong. 1 was so nervous that my own shadow frightened me. The least sound made me jump and set my heart thumping liko w;ul. Any little excitement sent a flush aiid> a cold shiver over me. I was so ill pnd wretched that I never knew the day v. Jen I would have to take to my bed and nsver get up again. '"No one can understand how wretched r.n.l ill I was, unless they have gone through tho same themselves. At times my legu wo-ie too shaky to hold ir.e. 1 couldn't stand for any length of lime. As s wa as I tried {0 set the dinner-table, my luoath started, to romp in smothering gasps-, and a smothering feeling took me. Next thing my heart started to flutter and race, an'l I got all ot a tremble. Whenc«r I triad to^urry, I had to stop with tho pain that caught- me in the- left sido. Soon I got so'Tj'ad that it was a struggle for me to walk a fotv steps. Without any warning my head started to swim — and the next minute I was down in a half faint.

' For two weary years, I dragged along in this way," added Mrs Allen. "People toid mo all sorts of tilings to do me good — but I have tried them all, and they were all worthless. At laet, my blood* was no bother than st> much dirty water. I was jitst on the verge of the grave when I slartel Dr. Wililams' Pink Pills for Palo People. Even the second box did me a little good. It made me hungry for my meals, and I soon noticed that I hadn't had a headache or a backache for five or six days on end. Whrn the last box was empty, I was a different woman. I slept the whole night through, and got up next morning as lively as anything. A healthy color came in my cheeks, and I gained in weight. I am now a strong healthy woman, able to keep my house spick and span without any trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills paved my life after I had been wasting ay.ay for (wo years."
