A LUCKY GIRL.

At Featherstone resides a young lady 19 y-ears of age whose recent well deserved stroke of good fortune led a reporter to beg an interview with her for publication in the Wellington “Bost.” Miss Petrea Peterson very kindly gave the pressman a brief ao count of her career, stating:—“Few girls have passed through so much suffering as I have. When I was 15 I became anaemic, grew thin and pale-faced, my lips were bloodless, and J was so weak that I could scarcely walk up hill. I lost my appetite and suffered from heavy headaches. I could not sleep and attacks of eramps came in my legs, the tingling pain of which caused me to scream aloud. I suffered greatly from heart palpitation, and after going upstairs I would sink into a chair, often, too exhausted even to speak- I was also troubled with an affection of the eye. Different doctors attended me during my four years of illness, but I did not seem to benefit. In -Tune, ’97, I read in the “Evening Post” how a young lady suffering like myself had been cured by Dr. Williams’ pink pills, so I commenced them. I felt better after the third dose and as I continued with them I regained good health. Since then I have been free of headaches, sleeplessness, cramps, heart palpitation, and all ill health. A day’s work brings no fatigue, and my complexion is quite rosy. Dr. Williams’ pink pills also cured my eye affection. They have greatly benefited several friends, and my mother has good cause to speak highly of them.”

Miss Petersen is exceedingly lucky in having overcome a most insidious form of disease to which young women are susceptible. Anaemia or bloodlessness was responsible for her lifeless melancholy state, and the rational cure lay in* replenishing the impoverished blood. Dr. Williams’ pink pills increase and enrich the blood in such a way that they also cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, and nervous disorders in both sexes. They are genuine only with the full name in red ink on pink wrapper, and are sold by chemists and storekeepers and the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, jjost free. Substitutes are dangerous.
