A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE OF A NEUTRAL BAY YOUNG LADY.

The interesting story of Mies Mashford'e narrow escape from death and subsequent recovery has caused so much excitement in the Neutral and Mossman’s Bay district that a reporter was despatched to interview the young lady at her home at Woodville, Neutral Bay. Instead of finding a pale and wan looking invalid, struggling to over come the debilitating effects of a long and trying illness, he found in Miss Masliford a sprightly gir! in robust health and good spirit*, who readily offered to give any information she could regarding her recent recovery and the particulars of how her life was saved. The following is Miss Mashford's story : —°l shall be 21 next birthday, and I have never been really strong in all my life, but it was towards the beginning of last year (1896) that I began to feel very much worse than I had ever felt before. My nervous system seemed shattered, a feeling of languor would at times quite overcome me, and last but not least I suffered agonising pains from neuralgia. 1 began to droop and 101 l about, couldn’t work, d dn’t eat, and had no inclination to do anything. I certainly was a good friend to chemists, for I spent a lot of money in tunics, none of which did me any good, and it was a sheer waste of money. My parents sent me away for a change of air. being dreadfully upset about me, but I returned but little better. Anemia or bloodlessness was what 1 was suffering from. In my despair I was ready to try anything when chance threw in my way a pamphlet relating to Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People, which had been left at our house by a distributor. Reading in it of a case which described something exactly like what I wa« suffering from, and in which a permanent cure had been effected, I determined to try them, which I did, and you see what I am like now/’ *• You do not look at all like an invalid now. Miso Mash ford.” “ No, indeed, nor do I feel like one. I cannot say that I have tried no other medicine. for I imagine I have tried every other, but with no benefit whatever. I certainly took no other medicine at the time I was taking Dr. Williams* Pink Pills, for the instructions on the wrapper advised me not to.” •• You can then truly say, Miss Mashford, that your recovery is solely' attributable to Dr. William!*' Pink Pills?” “lean, indeed. I shall always fully believe in them, knowing what they have done for myself, and I *1 all also recommend them to all my friends and acquaintances.*' Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine, but are a thor oughly scientific preparation, the result of years of careful study on the part of an eminent Edinburgh University physician, and they were successfully used by him in his every day practice for years before being offered for general sale. They positively cure Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia, and Influenza’s after effects, and are a specific for all diseases of women, such as ana mia, poor and wateiy blood, female irregularies. nervous headache and hysteria. They are not a purgative medicine, but brace up and permanently st reng then the whole system. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are obtained from all leading chemists, or from the Dr. Williams* Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half-dozen for IS* 9d.
