A GIRL SAVED FROM THE GRAVE.

" lam 19 years of age," said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand, to a press representative who interviewed her last month, " and since I was 15 1 have been suffering more or less. I had acute palpitation of the heart, which was brought about by anaemia or bloodlessness, to which I was long a martyr. Whenever I ran upstairs my heart would thump violently against my sides, and I would be quite speechless for several moments until I recovered my breath. Night after night I tossed, weary and wornout, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation. I was always in a weak, low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would at times swell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I grew worse and worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused me to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctors, but they gave no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless, 1 one day noticed an advertisement for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the Keening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1H97, I commenced taking them strictly according to directions. After the third dose I found a change for the better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine boxes, and am now in every way in the most perfect health. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings in the leys have all disappeared, and the affection in my eye has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments at all during the pa*t four months, it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. The pills have absolutely cured me, and I will always keep some of them by me. I feel fit for my work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself. lam awfully thanktnl to them, and I have lecommended them to all my friends. Four of them fpeak exactly as I do of the Pills, and cannot praise them too highly. I am well-known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case with interest. You can use this testimonial in any way you desire." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine, but are a thoroughly scientific preparation, the result of years of careful study on the part of an eminent Edinburgh University physician, and they were successfully used by him in his everyday practice for years before being offered for general sale. They are a perfect blood builder and a nerve restorer, curing such diseases aa rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, general debility, nervous prostration, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for all troubles peculiar to the female system, such asanaeinia,ipoor and watery blood, female irregularities, etc. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in troubles arising from mental worry, over- work, or excesses of any nature. Experiencing any difficulty in obtaining the genuine Dr. Williams', send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid, on receipt of stamps or post order) one box for 35., or half-a-dozen for 16s 6d.

Professor Bouchard has discovered a new movement of the heart by means of the Rontgen rays. It is a rhythmic dilation during respiration, and is unconnected with the ordinary movements of the heart. It appears to arise from the diminution of pressure in the interior of the thoracic cage during inspiration.
