Illness from Lack of Blood.

Increased Blood Supply the Only 'Treatments - A Weak, Run-do wn Auckland Woman Relatet how She Built ap Her Blood and Became Well.

"My appetite fell away till at last I could not fancy anything. Sometimes what I did swallow wouldn't stay down. My strength failed utterly. I had to give up my housework, and for two years I didn't do a stroke. I was in the Auckland Hospital fox six weeks, and came out as bad as I went in. I fell away in flesh until I. was as thin a« possible. All the colour faded from my face and lips. I had hardly any blood in my body ; they said I looked like a walking ghost. If I cut myself the blood was just like water, and would hardly trickle. I had violent headache* lasting for hours at a time. I'd be so dizzy with them, that I couldn't bear anyone near me, and the slightest noise

drov« me distracted. My back was always aching cruelly. I only wanted to lie down all day on the lounge. My heart would thump wildly at the least exertion] ' If I climbed a stair I'd have to si* down at the top and gasp for breath. I had several doctors, and though I spent large* sums of money, I got, -no -'lasting benefit. Then_ I- read 'of Dr -Williams^ Pink Pills, and I decided to give them. a trial, and they cfured me."
