When A Girl is Nineteen .

WHAT SHE TALKS ABOUT.

A maiden’s maidenly confessions are always interesting, not only to her own sex, but likewise to the other sex. Particularly interesting will prove the experience of Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand.;/'

‘ I am nineteen years of age,’ said Miss Petrea Featherston, North Island, New Zealand, to a press representative who interviewed her last month, * and since I was 151 have been suffering more or less. I had acute palpitation of the heart, which was brought about by anaemia or bloodlessness, to which I was long a martyr. Whenever I ran upstairs my heart would thump, violently against my sides and I would be quite speechless for several moments until I recov- red my breath. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn-out, ou my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramps in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me. to screain, out ip. very desserationv I was always 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 grqat suspense. Thus as I grew older I grew worse and worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused me to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had several doctors, but they gave no relief. I 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 evening post. Gathering hope from this, in June; 1897,1 cominensed taking them strictly according to directions; After the third dose I found a change for the better. I continued with them nntil J bit by bit improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nin9 boxes, and am now in every way in th 9 most perfect health. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps; and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and the affection in my eye 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.
