A HINT TO YOUNG FOLK.

THEY ABE APT TO BE CARELESS WHERE HEALTH IS CONCERNED. A great many people, and especially young people, are too careless of their health. They will sib in a draught when they know they are taking cold, and in numerous other ways show their indifference bo bhe rules that govern health, realising, sometimes when lb is boo late, the serious cost of their carelessness. Never neglect an illness no matter how trivial it may appear. It is to this class of persons that Miss Annie Ramsdell, of Whitehead. N. 8., wishes to speak. ‘ln June, 1895,’ she says, * I contracted a cold, bub did nob take anything for it, thinking that it would soon pass away. In this, however, I was disappointed, and I finally realised bhab it had settled on my lungs, and I was obliged bo take bo bed. A doctor was called in, and he said I was a very sick girl, which truth it is needless to say I had realised before he was sent for. Ab bhe outset his medicine helped me somewhat, bub the improvement was nob lasting, and I found myself growing weaker and weaker. At last I reached bhab stage when I despaired of getting better. My appetite had almost entirely failed ; I was reduced nearly to a skeleton, had a hacking cough, and suffered from headache and fluttering or palpitation of bhe heart. As a matter of fact both myself and friends thought I was at death’s door. While in this condition I read in a newspaper of a case similar to mine cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I procured a supply, and by the time I had taken six boxes I was almost completely recovered. My appetite had returned, a healthy colour came back bo my face and my cough ceased troubling me. lam still occasionally using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and my recovery through their use has made for them hosts of friends in this locality, who look upon what they have done for me as little short of miraculous.*
