A Girl's Screams.
A FAMILY FRIGHTENED. A very severe fright was recently occasion :d a well-known family by the screams of one of its members — a young lady 19 years of age. Details of the matter show that she was painfully subject to severe cramps. Indeed, so severe was her agony that at times she would be forced to scream aloud in sheer ■horror, to the bewilderment and despair of her family and friends. Now, however, Dr Williams' Fink Pills have cured her. She say a :— "Ever since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less. Palpitation of the heart was my principal trouble, and this was induced by anremia, or poorness of the blood. When, for instance, I ran upstairs my heart used to thump most frightfully against my sides, and so bad was it that on these occasions I was unable to work for some time afterwards. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attaoks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation, to the despair of those around. I was always in a weak, low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would swell up to a considerable extent. Thus, as I grew older, I became worse and worse, being subject also to giddiness, which many a time caused me to almost fail down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctors, but they gave me no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliotion of the eye from which I suffered. Having almost given up my case as hopeless, I noticed Dr WilliamB 1 Pink Pills for Pale People adveifeed in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June 1897, 1 commenced taking your pills strictly according to directions. After the third dose, I found a change for the better. I oontinued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that 4 months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken 9 boxes, and am now in parfeot health. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and the affliction in my eye has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments during the past 4 months it is evident my cure is permanent. I feel fit for my word and for anything. My mother thinko the word of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself. I have recommended them to all my friends. Four of them speak as I do of the pills, and cannot praise them too highly. I shall always continue to recommend them." The young lady in question is Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherson, North Island, N.Z. This is real, good news for all sufferers. If you are afflicted with anemia, weak heart, sleeplessness, rheumatism, coughs and colds, neuralgia, scrofula consumption, chronic erysipelas, debility, indigestion, liver and kidney diseases, and chest and lung troubles, locomotor ataxia, St Vitus' dance or nervous headaobe, your cure is at hand. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., at 3s a box, or six boxes for 16s. 6d., but are genuine only with the full name— Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People— on each box.
