NOT STRONG LIKE OTHER GIRLS.

Those who Droop and Fade in their Teens —New Zealand Girl's Health became Wrecked—How she got back Strength.

When Miss E Let of Auckland, was sixteen, slio found herself drooping and fading. For some months she continued to grow worse, until she was merely a wreck. As the chief trouble was Anaemia and the lack of enough good red blood, she ultimately tried Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and as she says herself "they toned me up wonderfully." Miss Lee, who lives in Henley St., Parnell, Auckland, made the following statement to a reporter with permission to publish it for the benefit of other sufferers: — "I was not robust as a young; girl, and as I grew up my blood began to turn to water. I lost all taste for my meals, but I longed for vinegar and sour things. After a light meai I would get such a weight 011 my chest, and very often the food wouldi not stay down at all. Mv heart began to give' me - constant : trouble. It fluttered witli a little bit- of housework, and when I climber a hill it would jump so that I would get quite breathless and exhausted. My energy and strength failed day by day. I began to get languid and my cheeks grew hollow and I lost all the colour from my gums and lips.. Tlie eves -had dark lines under them, and looked shrunken. I grew thin and had to have my clothes all altered. T would often have to get up and walk out of church, I would feel such smothering faintness coming over me. 1 only seemed to get weaker every day in spite of everything, but reading of Dr Williams' Pink Pills i thought I would give them a ■trial, and they turned out to be just the tonic my blood needed. They toned me up wonderfully. The Colour began to .steal into my cheeks and lips, and as to appetite presently they could not give me enough. 1 was always hungry, and the food began to do me good and fill me out. My strength began to pick up and L feit a different being. Every symptom pa seed off in time, and I am as robust now as could be wished." Dr Williams' Pink Pills are 3s per box, six boxes 16s 6d. of all dealers or from the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., of Wellington.

RADIUM CURE BY POST. A GREAT DISCOVERY. Persistent and.unwearying research work at the 'Radium Institute, London, has resulted in tlie discovery, the only parallel to which, in the words of Sir Frederick '! reves, is to ho found in the burning bush of Moses. It is known to scientists that radium gives off a gas which is called emanation; and it has now been proved at the London Institute (says the Daily Telegraph) that this emanation is as efficient for curative purposes as radium itself.. Furthermore, means have been found by which it can be conveyed to medical men all over the country for use among their own patients., emanation, or gas, ox! power—how, it -is described matters little 'to. the! lay mind—is given off constantly, and yet never weakens the parent substance, which, indeed. repeats'the,miracle, of the widow's cruse. The tremendous value of the discovery is at once apparent. Just four grammes of radium are in the possession of the institute, this amount being worth the sum of £BO,000, ths reputed price of radium being £BO per millegranime. One and a half grammes are specially set aside for the production of the emanation, the remainder being used in the every day treatment of visiting patients. It is estimated that radium falls to half strength in from 2000 to 2500 years, so that many generations will pass before there need be any fear of reduction in the quantity of emanation available. , . , • Sir Frederick Treves, who is chairman of the executive committee of the Radium Institute,, explained to a preventative of the Daily Telegraph how the discovery was being utilised. For the conveyance of the emanation, he said, they had invented hollow plates and tubes, into which, by a special .process, the gas was drawn, g,nd then fixed by being put in liquid air. fhev power sank to a half in 3.5 days, and finally vanished. The medical adviser of a patient who required an application of, for instance, fifty millegrammes 1 of radium thevalue of the actual substance would be £looo—would receive a, plate containing emanation of the equivalent of that quantity. Aa for the cost, the doctor who wanted a tube of 100 millegrammes would be charged twelve guineas for its us© for twentyfour hours. He would receive with it instructions for the application. In the la,st ten days the institute had sent out thirteen pieces of apparatus representing 800 millegrammes, the equivalent value in radium proper being £17,200. "We have demonstrated," Sir Frederick went on, "that the emanation is positively the same therapeuticallv as radium. One gramme of radium'gives 160 millegrames of eman tion in 24 hours." Questioned in regard' to radium treatment for cancer, Sir Frederick Treves stated: "The aspect is emphatically more reassuring and satisfactory than it was a year ago, and we are still getting . what wo call apparent cures. ye stick to the term 'apparent cure.

LIFE ONE LONG HEADACHE. "For several years 1 suffered acutely from a complication of Liver and Stomach Trouble," writes Miss rs'. Brear, "Ngahuia," Avenue road, Mosman, N.S.W. "Frequently I was unable to retain my food, sometimes , not being able to keep down even a cup of tea. Headaches were so common with mo that I might almost say mv life was one long, continual headacre. I often had bilious attacks, and was so giddy that I dare not stoop to pick up anything for fear of falling:. T consulted doctors and tried numerous medicines, neither did mo an atom of good. One day T saw an advertisement of LaxoTonic Pills, and was induced to purchase a box. T took these Pills, and 1 can only describe the change- they made as simply wonderful. 13y the time 1 had finished the box T could eat heartily, and retain my food without the least sign of biliousness. After another box or so of Laxo-lonio Pills T was completely cured." Price IOJd and Is fid. Obtainable everywhere.*
