LADY SAVED FROM A NASTY FALL.
(Froi a Contemporary.) The report of a popular young lady's escape from a nasty* accident reached us just as we were going to press, so a reporter called without delay upon Miss Petrea Peterson, at her residence in Featherstone, for particulars.
‘I hear, Miss Petes on,” said he, “that you have been saved from a nasty sail.*' “les, inueed,” was the reply, “but it occurred some time ago. It was in this way: uddenly, whilst walking through a room, 1 found myself falling head first to the floor.” “How were you saved from injury?” “Well, I just had presence of mind enough to clutch .-ie furniture; then then 1 sank down : nto r chair utterly exhausted. This occurred several times, for 1 had been weak and anaemic and subject to dizziness for several years; my fa -v was thin and pale, my ups bloodless, and 1 suffered from fearful, throbbing headaches. 1 could neither eat nor sleep properly; more than once at night 1 have been taken with cramp in the legs, the stinging, tingling pain causing me t-o scream. If 1 went upstairs my neart palpitated rapidly, and 1 would have to rest to recover my breath; sometimes I was too weak to speak. During my illness doctors attenaed me, but their treatment did not strengthen me. In June, ’97. 1 saw an advertisement in the ‘Evening News,’ in which a young lady told how she had Been cured of anaemia by Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people. I sent, for a supply, and even after a few doses felt better. Four boxfuls stre.ngtnened me greatly; five more cured me- There is no trace of anaemia about me now; 1 am bright and strong, I eep soundly, ano my complexion is greatly improved.” The cause of many ailments which afflict wo: ten and men is bloodlessness, or anaemia. Insufficient bio :d leads to a train of symptoms having indigestion as their immediaioe cause, such as loss of appetite, pain after eating, biliousness, sluggish liver, headaches, etc. Dr. Williams’ pink pills make new blood witn every dose, and thus assist young ladies to develop properly and regularly; they strengthen the nerves and ward off the danger of consumption they have cured cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, consumption, St. Vitus' dance, rickets, skin diseases, ladies’ ailments, effects of pneumonia, pleurisy, influenza, fevers, etc. Sold by chemists and store Keepers and the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six. post free. Beware of imitations dyed pink; they are useless and may be poisonous.
