» Oar readers will be gratified to heat of a popu'ar young lady's escape from a nasty accident. Particulars cf the* affair were brought in by our reporter just as we were going to press. It appears that acting without delay upon information received he called upon Mis 3 Pctrea Peterson at her residence in Feather3tone. The Jady accorded him an interview wi.hout hesitation. " I bear Miss Peterson," he said, •' that you have been saved from a nasty fall," " Yea, indeed," said the lady, " bat tho occurrence of which you speak occurred some time ago. It was this way. Suddenly whilst walking through a room-' I found myself falling head first to the floor." 11 How were you saved fr. m injury ?" " Well I just had presence of mind enough to clutch at the furniture. I then saik down in a chair exhausted. .' This jceirreil on more th in one occasion, for I ■'■ wAa icttrfuliy weak, ami at times every* t,hi gw ud swim before me. These afc-ack-i came on as a result of anaemia from which I had suffered for several years. Firs', 1 began to grow thin and pale-faced ; my lips became b oodless, and I fe.t fearfully w«ak. Then I was afflicted with heavy headaches and total loss of appetite. I could not sleep at night, and I wou'd be taken with cramp in the legs, the stinging Jingling pain of which was so great that I used to scream aloud. My family anil'™ friends were dread uliy concerned about me. If I even went upstairs an attack of h art palpitation would result and I had to rest till I recovered my breath. Sometimes my heart was so weak that I had noli th<> strength to speak. Several doctors attended me ; they described my complaint as anaemia, but their treatment did not seem of i.enefit. I also suffered from abaci eye. I dvagged on in thia distressing st&to until June, 1897, when I saw Dr Williams' pink pills advertised in the Evening Post. In the advertisement a young lady who suffered like me told how she had been cured by thtm, so I purchased a supply. After the third dose I felt a little improved. I continued Dr Williams' pink pilla, following the directions carefully until 1 ., had used nine boxes ; then being perfectly cared I discontinued them. I have had no occasion to take them since, so there is no doubt about, my being cured permanently. I a v bright and happy now, free from headaches, sleeples-ness, cramps, heart palpitation, and al> my former complaints, j I can-do a day's work without feeling .faiiga.d, and I .ake a real interest in life. .\ty_nppjaj' nice has been greatly improved, ' and my complexioa is quite rosy to what it used to be. Several of my friends have used Dr Williams pink pills since my cure t and have also been benefited greatly.
