DRIFTING INTO A DECLINE.

This Woman, Weak, 11l and Miserable, made Hearty and Strong by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. * Mis. Thomas Weir, of Christchurch, became so weak and run down, through not having sufficient blood, that she fell away till she looked like a walking ghost, and was In despair that she was drifting into a decline. After reading in the newspapers of cures by Dr. Williams* Pink Fills, Mrs. Weir decided to try them, with the happy result that this blood maker has given her better health than she ever enjoyed in her life before. Mrs. Weir was seen at her home, Milnestreet Spreydon, Christchurch, by a reporter, and she gave the following statement for publication for the benefit of other sufferers. “I enjoyed excellent health as a young girl, but as I started to grow up Anaemia attacked me. My cheeks got as white as could be. You could barely see my lips, they were so colourless, and my gums, too, .were blanched. 1 was like a walking ghost. My face grew sallow and wasted and I became so thin you could count every bone in my body. I hated to look in the mirror I looked so ghastly ill. I ate fairly well and yet the food gave me no nourishment. I was just an invalid about the house. 1 could not even wipe a dish for my mother; I could not stand to do a thing. If a door slammed I trembled; every nerve was on edge. Shocking headaches came on and <iuite prostrated me. I simply could not hold up against the beating ami throbbing that seemed to lift the top of my head off. I used to lie in bed with wet cloths tied round my temples for hours. I often dozed in the day, but I could not sleep at night, and if a little noise woke me I would be awake for hours. If I caught a cold it hung on me for weeks. How I kept alive was a miracle. 1 can only thank Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for curing me, and they did that thoroughly. Everyone thought 1 was going into a decline. Neighbours used to shake their heads in pity, for j faded more every day. but after I had started the second box I actually felt brighter. I was only too delighted to keep on, and presently began to eat heartily and you could see a little colour stealing into my lips ami cheeks. 1 kept on slowly improving, and presently I was able to give a hand about the house at intervals. It was a joyful surprise both to my folk and myself. My perfect recovery is due entirely to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I fully and firmly believe I would have been in my grave but for them.*’ Dr. Williams* Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, but if in doubt send to the Dr. Williams* Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington, 3/ one box, six boxes 16/6.
