HEALTH NOTES.

I. Care of the Blood. 11. Result of too little Blood. The following interesting and easily understood information is clipped n m an admirable publication for Souch Australian readers, which ccnta ns many useful notes on health: —- “Our blood is at once the cleanser and food-carrier of the human body. Absorbing the nourishment from food through the walls of the stomach, the blood carries this nourishment to every part of the system. At the same time it carries off impurities that need to be eliminated. The performance by the blood of these functions is dependent upon its. own condition. If it is deficient in quantity it eannot nourish the organs, and the food taken remains unused. Hence arises the indigestion so troublesome to pale, anaemic people, for the unused food gives rise to dyspepsia, and dyspepsia to bile and torpidity of the liver. Lack of blood is the direct cause of physical and functional weakness, headaches, heart palpitation and painful breathlessness after exertion, backaches, cold feet, tendency to catch eeld and the general wretchedness of “delicate” people. The special troubles of girls in their development, nearly always arise from anaemia—in popular language, from ‘too little blood.’ Dr. Williams’ pink pills, which directly increase the supply and the richness of the blood, cure all the consequences of bloodlessness in a manner often spoken of as miraculous.” Then the following instance is given as a ease in point. As it concerns an Otago lady —a Miss Maggie Russell —we reprint it in full. “As well as I can remember,” she writes, “it is about three years ago' that I became anaemie. My blood seem- 1 ed to turn to water. I grew weak and pale, and disinclined for either worK or pleasure. .My system was quite run down, and I derived no nourishment from food. My medical adviser diagnosed my case as poverty of the blood, but despite careful treatment I did not appear to improve. Some time later I read in a newspaper that Dr. Williams’ pink pills were an excellent blood builder, and had cured many cases of anaemia. I purchased some, and had used them for only a few days when' I felt better. After taking the contents of three boxes I was restored to perfect health. As my blood became, enriched the colour returned to my cheeks and lips. Now’l am strong and robust, full of energy, have a good appetite, and sleep well.” Miss Russell Is twenty-four years of age, and res’des i in Livingston, Otago. Formerly she lived at Oamaru. There is no doubt that the sudden ! changes inseparable from the New Zealand climate tend to thin the blood. This effect is more quickly noticeable upon women than upon men. Evidence ’ from all parts of the world proves that' Dr. Williams’ pink pills have cured innumerable cases of anaemia, scrofula, rickets, consumption of the bowels and lungs, neuralgia, loss of vita] strength,' bronchitis, and chest complaints. Hriey are obtainable from retailers and from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six; boxes sixteen and six, post free. A spe-i cial letter of advice will be sent free of charge to those who write for it. “If you want to be well take care of your blood” is an aphorism which a celebrated physician was never tired ofi impressing upon his patients. This advice is particularly applicable in our, own coloajf. ■“
