SETTLER’S DAUGHTER IN DANGER.
A pressman who purposely called at the homestead of Mr. Gruhl—a seVtler residing at Parnaroo. near Terowie (S.A.) —had the good fortune to hear from his daughter’s lips an account of her narrow escape from death.
With eharming frankness Miss Antonia Gruhl stated; “I am nineteen years of age, and my life passed happily and uneventfully until two years ago. I then became a victim to anaemia; I grew thin and weak; my face became pale and wretched-look-ing. and sometimes I went off into a dead faint, for the slightest excitement caused me to lose consciousness. I grew so thin and weak that I was unable to perform even light duties, and although always feeling tired and worn out 1 could never sleep properly. The little food 1 forced down gave me no strength, and I seemed in danger of fading away and dying. I tried several patent medicines without benefit, and 1 was rapidly becoming worse when I was advised to try Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people. I did so, and after using them for a week according to directions, I began to improve. My appetite came back; I slept well and woke up bright and refreshed. Three boxes restored me to perfect health. The fainting fits and dizziness have disappeared, and housework is now a pleasure. I have to thank Dr. Williams’ pink pills for my narrow escape from an illness which might have been life-long.” Miss Gruhl is to be congratulated upon having overcome a most insidious form of disease to which young women are particularly susceptible; Dr. Williams’ pink pills cured her by increasing the supply and richness of the blood, thus removing all the afflictions which bloodlessness brought about. They also cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, dyspepsia, ladies’ ailments, consumption, scrofula, rickets, erysipelas, and nervous disorders in both sexes. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, three shillings per box. six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Worthless substitutes are numerous, so you must look for the full name in red on the white wrapper.
