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 19 years of age," said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zealand, to a press representative who interviewed her last month, " and since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less. I had acute palpitation of the heart, which was brought about by ansemia or bloodlessness, to which I w<is long a martyr. Whenever I ran upstairs my heart would thump violently against my sides, and I would be quite speechless fur several moments until I recovered my breath. Night after n'ght I tossed, weary and worn out, on my bed, tryinu' vainly to sleep. 1 had fearful attacks of cramps in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation. I was always in a weak low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would at times swell up to a consideiable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older, I grew worse and worse, being subject to giddiness, which many a time caused mc to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and I had se/cral 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, T 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 commenced taking them strictly according to directions. After the third dose I found a change for the better. I continued with them until I, bit by bit, improved so much that tour months ago I left thorn off altogether. I have taken a totil of nine boxes, and am now in every way in the 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. -£s 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. The nils have absolutely cured mc, and I will always keep some of them by me. I feel fit for my work *nd for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxe3 herself. I am awfully thankful to them, and I have recommended them to all my friends. Four of them speak exactly as I do of the Pills, and cannot praise them too highly. lam well known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case with interest.
