When a Girl is Nineteen.

♦ WHAT SHE TALKS ABOUT. A maiden's maidenly confessions are always interesting, not only to her own Bex, bat likewise to the other sex. Particularly interesting will prove the experience of Misi Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand. " I am 19 years of age," said Miss Petrea Peterion, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand, to a preis representative who interviewed her last month, " and since I was 15 I have been suffering, more or less, I had acute palpitation of the heart, which was brought about by anaemia or bloodlessnesa, to which I was a long martyr. Whenever I ran upstairs my heart would thump violently against my sides, and I would be speeohless for several moments until I recovered my breath. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn-out, 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 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 almost to fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctor?, but they gave no relief. 1 also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless I one day noticed an advertisement for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the i Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking then sirickly according to the 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 j legs have all disappeared, and the affection 1 in my eye likewise ceased. As there as ! been no recurrence of these ailments at all during the past four monthg, it is evident that my oure is a permanent one. The pills have absolutely cured me, and I will always keep some of them by me. My mother thinks the world of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself. lam awfully thankfull to them, and I have recommended them to all my friends. Four of them speak exactly, as I do of the Pill, and cannot praise them to highly. I am well known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case with interest. Ton can use tbiß testimonial in any way you de«re." Amongst other diseases the following have been cured by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People .—Paralysis, looomotor ataxia, rheumatism, and sciatica ; also diseases arising from impoverishment of the blood, scrofula, riokets, chronic eryßi>pelas, consumption of the bowels and lungi, anaemia, pale and sallow complexion!, after-effects of dengue and typhoid fevers, influenza, general muscular weakness, loss of appetite, palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache, early decay, all forms of female weakness, and hysteria.
