A Girl's Life Saved at Neutral Bay.

In the picturesque suburb ef Neutral Bay, Sydney, resides Miss Mashford, a young lady of prepossessing appearance, who ssems likely to furnish her friends and neighbours with a topic of conversation which will in all probability be discussed for some time to come In an interview .with a representative, Miss Mashford made the following interesting and surprising statement :— " I am now nearly 21 years of age, and I have never been strong in my life. About the beginning of Maroh, 1896, I began to feel worse than I /had ever felt before. I had a terribly languid fee" ing— the least exertion made me feel tired, in addition to which I suffered excruciating pains from neuralgia, which quite unfitted me for any active pursuit. My appetite was also very poor, and I had almost a dread of food. I spent a great deal of money in tonics, trusting that some one of them would relieve me ; but none of tbem did me any good. But one day, quite by accident, I heard of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People through one of my friends, and a few days after a pamphlet was left at our house (Woodville), and on reading it I thought one case in which a permanent oure had been effected was very similar to my own, namely, bloodlessness, or what is called anaemia. I therefore, determineto get some, and bought my first box from Mr Medd, of the Military-road, Neutral Bay, the local chemist. I commenced taking them according to the printed directions on the wrapper." " Did this box do you any good, Misa Mashford ?" " Indeed, it did : and I was badly in need of something to benefit me, for I must tell you that at this time I was sent up to Hornsby for a change of air, the state of my health being such as to cause my relatives and friends considerab'e alarm. However, this one box did me so much good that I determined to continue with them, and I sent for five more boxes, which I took." *' And you now feel ever so much better." " Most certainly I do ; apart from how much better I ffel, my aunt and others tell me my complexion has improved amazingly, and my mirror, which I occasionally look at," she naively remarked, " tells me the same story. I am now able to go about in my o'd style, and my health improves daily" "And you attribute all these improvements in your health and appearance to taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills ?" " Well, as I have taken no other medicine, it mv jt be the Pills that have wrought this benefit. I shall always fully believe in them, and shall recommend them to all my friends." (Sign d) E. D. MASHFORD. (In subsequent conversation with Mr Medd, the chemist of Neutral Bay, our reporter elicited that Mr Medd knew Miss Mashford weU, and was rejoiced to observe the striking improvement Dr Williams' Pink Pills bad effected in her. Mr Medd added that he had a good sale for the Pills about Neutral Bay, and that doubtless as soon as the recovery of Miss Mashford became generally known the sale would materially improve.) The facts above related are important to girls just budding into womanhood, whoso condition is, to say the least, more critioal than their parents imagine. Their complexion is pale and waxy in appearance, troubled with heart palpitation, headaches, shortness of breath on the slightest exercise, faintness, and other distressing symptoms which invariably lead to a premature grave unless prompt steps are taken to bring about a natural condition of health. In this emergency no remedy yet discovered can supply the plaoe of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill?, which build anew the blood, strengthen the nerves, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow oheeks. They are a certain cure for all troubles peculiar to the female system, young and old. Pink Pills also cure such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, the after effects of la grippe, influenza, and severe colds, diseases, depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronio erysipelas, etc In the oase of men they effect a radical oure in all cases arising f:om mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. These pills are not a purgative. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward, post paid, on reoeipt of stamps or post order, one box for Bs, or half-dozen for 15s 9d. They are unrivalled as a tonic for both sexes,
