IN CONSUMPTION.

Miss E. Henstridge Hoars in a Dead Faint Spitting Her Lungs Away Her Life Saved Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "J owe my life to Ur. Williams' l'luß I , ills. They cured mc of Consumption arter the leading doctors or Melbourne said 1 couldn't live more than a lew months," said Miss E. Henstridge, eocstumiere, of Miill. "For a lons time 1 liad been ailing," Miss llonstridge went on. "I was just a growing girl at the time, and my blood all start- | ed going to water. 1 grew so weak and , , wan that 1 looked ten years older than 1 was. My face could not have been paler, or my lips and gums more bloodless. 1 was weary and always languid. It was too much trouble to walk across the room: 1 hated the thought of meal-time. It was .simply agony trying to force food down when, my stomach turned at every mouthful. My tongue was coated white, and there was a vile taste in my mouth. "My back ached morning, noon, and night. Often 1 nearly went mad with, headaches. It felt as though there was something swelling Inside my brain and trying to burst it open. My head spun round, and everything in front of my e3es grew dim. I'eople used to remark on the strange sparkle of nay eyes—but 1 think they only seemed so bright on account of the deep, dark rings under them, You had ouly to look at mc to see 1 had no good warm blood. My hands and feet were always cold. Sometimes a hot flush came over mc and left mc sick and faint. "Une day 1 went right oil in a dead faint, and that was the Hrst sign that 1 Had that 1 whs lv Consumption," Miss Henstridge added. "After that 1 had these faiuty every few days. Without any warning I fell down in a swoon. It was just as if : v were dead. Coming round was like waking from a long sleep. Kveryone pitied mc. There seeniea to be no eartlily iiope of mc ever shaking on" the deadly disease. '•Every hour 1 seemed to be getting weakpi mid urarer my grave, one day 1 vail a lit of coustiing, and began to spit blood. The Bight uC that blood was an awful shock. I knew if meant my tleatli. 1 was afraid to auivr for feur 1 would iDjure nay lungs i and start tlu't*. bleeding. Kvery cough! brought blood—ami waiting across tip room ' set mc coughing. The cougli felt as If a loi ( of Ush-hooks were being pulled up and dowu I my elieet. 11 was an awful rearing, ripping . pain. ATter every bout 1 had to lie down ! fur hours. j "At uight 1 w.is too nervous lv sleep, i livery liule sound set my heart beating like j mad. Uf course, my heart was very weak. ■ .Yly iungw were so bad that often 1 could [ hardly catch my breatU. And all the time • i was fadiug away -a hopeless Consumptive, j "The leading doctors treated mc- but not I une uf them did mc the least good. After trying so many doctors lv vaiu. and taking su many different remedies, 1 gave up all | bope. All I prayed for was that Death i Would r:iiou come to end all my misery. In ' tills pitiful stale 1 started taking Dr. \ Williams' l'iuk Jills," Miss Henstridge con- ! eluded. "I read how They had cured others ' even worse than myself, so 1 got a supply j from Blackburn, the Nhili chemist. But it was not until 1 had taken two boxes that 1 noticed any real improvement. After that I began to mend slowly. The haemorrhage ' began to get loss, and J picked up wonder- ' fully in strength. By the time 1 had taken seven boxes tut? change in mc wa.s simply marvellous. I ate well, slept splendidly, and quickiy pained in welgnt. To-day Lhere isn't A trace of Consumption about mo. Aly health could not be better. When Ur. Williams' l'iuk Pills saved my lite, they worked a regular miracle." Miss Henstridge's case is, indeed, a. miracle. It baffled doctor alter dortor. in the end. Dr. Williams' l'iuk l J lils cured aer Just as they cure all diseases that are caused by bad blood. In fact, they actually make new blood. They do Just that one thing—but they do It well. They don't act on the bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms. They won't cure any disease that isn't caused originally by bad blood. But that is the cause of all common ailments such as anaemia, decline, general weakness, Miiohofl, iiPidaciios. lnfliEOsiioD. riioumWilliams' JUaOlcine Co.. Wellington— Williams' Uadlelue Vα..
