SUMMER AND ITS PERILS.

The heat of summer, and its mild, relaxing weather, are often more dangerous to children and adults than is commonly’ supposed. Profuse perspiration and the use of cold or effervescing drinks impoverish the blood, and the patient is, as it were, starved. If any' natural weakness exists, the system will break down at that point; or a general relaxation and languor may set. in almost unnoticed. “For several summers.” said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Fetherstone, to a reporter who called upon her. “I was greatly' troubled with anaemia which made me fearfully thin, weak and pale faced. My lips were bloodless, I suffered from heavy headaches, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and (tramps. If .1 went upstairs I would have to pause for breath at the top. Doctors said my heart was weak, but their treatment unfortunately did not restore my health. Sometimes- I had not the strength to speak; at other times the cramps were so painful that I would scream aloud. But through reading a paragraph in the “Evening Post” which showed how a young lady had been cured of similar troubles by Dr. Williams’ pink pills, I purchased some, and even the third dose improved me. I continued with them until perfectly cured. I am quite bright and happy now. free from heart palpitation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, headaches and cramps. Every symptom of anaemia has gone, and even the summer weather does not weaken me; 1 do not look like the same girl.” This is an instance where an actual illness was caused by summer heat; in other cases as we have said, there may la* only a general debility and signs of running down. .A cure, or a safeguard which is better, will be found in Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people, and the same remedy may be confidently recommended for general weakness, St. Vitus' dance, rheumatism, paralysis and consumption. Sold by chemists and storekeepers. They" are an unequalled tonic for the summer.
