Wanganui Girl so weak could hardly Walk . Thin, pale, and languid—Rapidly lost weight — Constant headaches—ln ag-ony with Neuralgia —Finally cured by Dr. Williams* Pink Pills. “When 1 was about twenty my whole health broke down through my blood becoming poor,” said Mrs A. E. Aitken, 107, Harrison-strect, Wanganui. “I was that bad with palpitation of the heart that I could hardly walk; in fact, I hardly went out at all. My face and lips were white and great black rings came under my eyes. I was horribly nervous. The least little noise made me jump and started my nerves tingling like mad. Nothing could make me go out of night by myself. Right on the top of my bead it felt as if someone was banging it with a hammer, and as if there were a weight always there. Often I had to leave my work and lie down. Very often my feet and ankles were so puffed that I could not get my shoes on. I used to feel as if I never wanted to eat. The doctor ordered me to have sandwiches of raw meat, but I don’t think that they did me much good. Every time after eating 1 bad a nasty tight pain in my chest, just as if the food had got into a bard lump and would not digest. The pain lasted for hours, and then I had an attack of vomiting, and threw up everything again. I was getting weaker every day, and the doctor's medicine was not doing me any gbod. I got very low spirited for 1 thought that 1 was never going to get better. I was always languid and tired, and felt as if I could not be bothered with anything. The attacks of Neuralgia that I had nearly drove me mad. A sharp Lot stabbing pain shot up my face into my ears. Often I cried out with agony. For days at a time I used to wander about the house wondering what to do to get relief. No matter what I tried I could not get any ease. Sometimes I got so giddy that I nearly fell down. All of a sudden everything seemed to swim around, and I bad to cateh hold of something, or else 1 would have gone down. Everything went black for a time. I was always cold. When I went to bed 1 could not sleep much because the palpitation was worse then. Often I had to sit up in bed and fight for my breath, and then I broke out into a perspiration. Then when the. attack passed off I just fell back on the pillows utterly exhausted. I dreaded getting up time coming round, because 1 was so fearfully tired. I was always afraid that I had heart disease and would drop dead suddenly, but 1 was so weak and low spirited that I would not have cared if I had died. Every day X was getting worse, and then a neighbour advised mother to give me Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I started on them but never thought that they would do me any good. In time I began to get stronger and no one knows how happy I felt then. Almost with every dose I could feel my strength reburning. I found the palpitation was getting less and the headaches were going away, also the swelling in my feet, legs and hands was going down. The attacks of Neuralgia were getting less and the pain was not so bad. In the end Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills brought back my health and strength, and since then I don’t know what a day’s illness is.” When you begin to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, watch your appetite.
