"For eight long years I suffered the' greatest pain a woman could bear," continued Mrs. Broadbent. "For two years I nevel left.my bed., I lay on my back suffering untold torture in the Ballarat Hospital for ten Vxn'onfhs-, but -the-. Mevetest ;Ifloctdrs--.ia the city could do mc no Rood. - I «is a crippled wreck till "T>r. • "Williams' Pink Pill 3 . mc on my feet,' strong and well arain. : . • ; - ' "'I had-just/finished. washing,'.' .explainedMrs .Broadbent. "when. -.'a helpless' feeling eaine . over . mc. ' Tfest minute I *v stretched, on, the floor like dead. For two hours I lay in a trance. Everyqne thought I was dead. "Often- I" shrieked .with-agony. I was wrapped in flannels and blankets—and even , the touch of these •; almost' sent mc "mad. At • night the sweat rolled' off mc until I thought ,1 would- die with sheer weTfE- ■ ness. . Finally I was practically paralysed and coaldn't turn in bed. Every b&thour I would-.call, my son to. move mc. I was the most miserable woman' en - : God!s earth.'- ..•..". ~-.... '' :"The.pain I suffered .was enough to kill twenty _ people. The least noise irritated mc. Even the shutting of "the bedroom dpor. jarfed'me. Every day I wished myself dead. I was a burden to myself and a, terrible expense to my husband. .The best treatment oid, mc" no good. : -""At. last -the doctors toldVMr Broadbent they rcouid' do no' more for mc. 'Her only hQpe. is .-the Ballarat Hospital,' they said. So they carried mc op. a ■ stretcher to the buggy. - .-There, propped up with pillows, 1 was-driven sis -miles to, the station. Every trap jolted. J felt as; if' all my bones were broken, and my flesh..battered and . bruised. At the train my . friends crowded round to'have a last look at mc. ■'Well .never . see .the .poor thing back alive,", one .of them said. • "So it's "no wonder my case is • the talk of Beaufort and Ballarat. • At".the Ballarat Hospital they put mc under chloroform to straighten my leg—but they only made it worse, and as stiff as a 'poker.' For ten long months I lay in ceaseless agony, day and night. .My case baffled all the doctors in Ballarat. After nearly a.year J-wa3. carried. Helpless from the Hospital as crippled and as pain-racked as when I went in.' "FrAih -torture beset mc. My back was one dull, dragging, gnawing ache, the livelong day. - ■'-■■:'■ "I had given up all hope, when, a girl whom I had met in the Ballarat Hospital wrote to mc saying that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. had cured her of hip- disease. She begged mc to try them. When they cured one cripple, I thought they might at least- ease my pain. I tried them—-and they certainly.saved my life. "Soon after starting Dr. WUliamfe' Pink Pills," concluded Mrs-Broadbent, "I got a wonderful appetite.' Then the pain, began to■ ease up bo. that I could.: get. a -little* sound; sleep. Soon" I lost "that old dowuhearted feeling. I picked up hope and kept right on with Dr. ■Williams' Pink Pills. After- three., boxes,' Mother said ito me', 'There's-a brightness in your face that""-I haven't seen for : years. ■ You look livo years -younger. . From that - time ■ on, I gained : every day." Before long I was able to get about again -on crutches. The neighbours- could scarcely believe their e,yes. " At last I was able .to throw my crutches away—and now I am a. strong, healthy, hard-working woman. When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my' life they . worked a downright miracle." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills worked this miracle by actually making new blood' for Mrs Broadbent. • They do' just this one thing—but .they do it welL They' don't' act on the bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms. They just strike straight, at the root of all blood like anaemia, skin trouble, biliousness indigestion," liver complaint, headaches, backaches, kidney troubles, lumbago, rheumatism, sciatica, nervousness, nenralgia, general", weakness decline consumption (in. , its early stages), locomotor ataxia,' and the" secret ailments that • come •to girls and women when their blood becomes weak" impure, or irregular. Through the blood' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills core all these just as , surely- as'j-they' cured; Mrs JBowie.
