A LADY SAVED FROM A NASTY FALL.

Our readers will be gratified to hear of a popular young lady’s escape from a nasty accident. Particulars of the affair were brought in by our reporter just as we were going to press. It appears that acting without delay upon information received, he called up on Miss Petrea Peterson, at her residence in Featherstone. The lady accorded him an interview without hesitation.

“I hear, Miss Peterson,” he said, “that you have been saved from a nasty fall.” “Yes, indeed,” said the lady, “but the occurrence of which you speak occurred some time ago. It was this way. Suddenly, whilst walking through a room, I found myself falling, head first, to the floor.” “How were you saved from injury?” “Well, I just had presence of mind enough to clutch at the furniture. I then sank down in a chair exhausted. This occurred on more than one occasion, for I was fearfully weak, and at times everything would swim before me. These attacks came on as a result of anaemia from which I had suffered for several years. First I began to grow thin and pale-faced; my lips became bloodless, and I felt fearfully weak. Then I was afflicted with heavy headaches and total loss of appetite. 1 could not sleep at night, and I would be taken with cramp in the legs; the stinging, tingling pain of which was so great that I used to scream aloud. My family and friends were dreadfully concerned about me. If I even went upstairs an attack of heart palpitation would result, and I had to rest till I recovered my breath. Sometimes my heart was so weak that I had not the strength to speak. Several doctors attended me; they described my complaint as anaemia, but their treatment did not seem of benefit. I also suffered from a. bad eye. I dragged on in this distressing state until June, 1897, when I saw Dr. Williams’ pink pills advertised in the “Evening Post.” In the advertisement a young lady who had suffered like me told how she had been cured by them, so I purchased a supply. After the third dose I -elt a little improved. I continued with Dr. Williams’ pink pills, following the directions carefully until I had used nine boxes; then, being perfectly cured I discontinued them. I have had no occasion to take them since, so there is no doubt about my being cured permanently. lam bright and happy now, free from headaches, sleeplessness, cramps, heart palpitation, and all my former complaints. I can do a day’s work without, feeling fatigued, and I take a real interest in life. My appearance has been greatly improved, and my complexion is quite rosy to what it used to be. Several of my friends have used Dr. Williams’ pink pills since my cure, and have also been benefited greatly. Besides removing the anaemia the pills cured the bad eye I spoke about.” Dr. Williams’ pink pills assist young ladies to develop properly and regularly.
