BROKE DOWN AT SENENTEEN.

This Girl hadn’t enough blood to keep going. Became pale, weak and languid. She tells how she cured herself. '•I was never a strong or healthy gfri, but at the age of seventeen I became much, worse than 1 had ever been before,” said Miss C. E. Smythe, 268, Armagh-street, Christchurch. 'My face was a deathly white; the whites of my eyes turned a bluish colour, and my gums and lips became very pale. I had no appetite even for the daintiest kind of food. The palpitation of my heart was very bad, and often made me think I was going to die. I suffered much from breathlessness, and when walking I had to bold my arms tight across my chest owing to the pain in my chest and shoulders. I had headaches principally in the forehead and crown of the head. I was dreadfully nervous and suf* fered with neuralgic pains In various parts of the body, the pains at times being so bad as to keep me awake for hours at a time. 1 was very low-spirited and irritable; at times I could not bear anyone to speak to me. *T was sent into the Christchurch Hospital, where I remained for some weeks, and from there to Rhodes Convalescent Home, Cashmere Hills. The treatment I received there had no permanent good effect on me. I subsequently went to the Wellington Hospital, where 1 was a patient for about three months. I left it without being cured of the anaemia. Five years after that I bad to go into the Dunedin Hospitla, where the doctors said I had very little blood in my body The doctors told me they could not do anything for me; they teld me the only remedy they could suggest was my going on to a farm, wrhere 1 could get the best of nourishing food, plenty ot milk and eggs, port wine ami stout, and have nothing to do. I left the Dunedin Hospital Just before the Inst Christchurch Exhibition. I came home and was for six months completely Invalided. While 1 was so bad, a pamphlet was left at my home. In reading it I noticed accounts of others having suffered as I was, and having been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I got some. I had not used one box w hen 1 found a wonderful change. The colour came back to my cheekft, ami I looked healthier than I had done for years, and by ■the time I ha<l taken six boxes I felt abso lutely better than 1 had ever felt iu my life.” Remember, only the genuine Dr. WiL Hams’ Pink Pills cure Don’t bo gulled into taking something said to bo just as good. Of all dealers nt 3/ per box, tl boxes 16/6, or from the Dr. Wil Ila me’ Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd , Welling-
