Running Upstairs.

A WABNING TO WOMEM. " Young women should be warned " (says a well-known lady writer in a fashion journal) " that running upstairs is always injurious when it produces violent heart palpitation, or other distressing symptoms. In fact, sudden exertion under such circumstances is dangerous in the extreme. The question is how to avoid the danger: Tf you care to hear about it I will tell you of the ingenious manner in which Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, N.Z..didio. 11 1 am 19 years of age," she writes •• and ever since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less." Palpitation of th« heart was her principal trouble, she states, and this was induced by aonmia, or poorness of ' the blood. " When, for instance," she continues, " I ran op-stairs my heart used to thump most frightfully against my sides and so bad was it en these occasions I was unab'e to talk for sometimes afterwards. This was naturally a source of considerable °anxiety'tD ray family and friends. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn-out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. At times, fob, I had fearful attacks of cramp in n>y,lega, and, bo great was the agony ttiat frequently it caused me to soream out in very qespe*ation, to the despair of those ftrbo&a. I was Always in a weak, low

state, and, of course, never felt fit for my work. My legs, too, 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 became worse and worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused me to almost fall down down. I tried plenty of medicines and I had several doctors, one after the other, but they gave me no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eve from which I suffered.

Having almost given up my case as hopeless, I one dayWd of the cares effected by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced, taking your pills strictly according to directions. After the third dose, to mj surprise, I found a change for the better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so i 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 moit perfect of condition. Insomnia, weakness, giddneas, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings in the legs, have all disapeared, and the affection has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments at all during the past four months it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. Your pills have absolutely cured me, and I will always keep some of them by me. 1 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 thankful to them, and I have recommended them to all my friends.
