RUNNING UPSTAIRS

A WARNING TO WOMEN. •' Young women should bo warned" (<sys a well-known, lady writer in a fashion journal) " that running upstairs is always injurious when it produces violent heart palpitation, or orther distressing symptoms, in fact, sudden exertion under such circumstances is dangerous in the extreme. The question is how to avoid tho danger, if you care to bear about it 1 will tell you of tho ingenious manner in which Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, N.Z., did so. "I am 19 years of age," she writes " and ever since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less." Palpitation of the heart was her principal trouble, she atatesj and this was induced bya nneraia, or poorness of the blood. -'When, for instance;" she continues, " I ran upstairs my heart used to thump most frightfully against my sides, and so bad was it that on these occasions I was unabletotalk for time time afterwards. This was naturally a source of considerable^ anxiety to my family and friends. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn-out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. At times, too, I had fearful attacks of cramp iu my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very despearation, to the despair of those around. I was always in a weak, low state, and, of course, never felt fit for my work. My legs, too. would at times swell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I became worse aud worse, being subject also to periods of giddiness which many a time caused rae to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines and I had several doctors, ono after the other, but the they gave me no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affection of the ey e from which I suffered.

Having l almost given up my easß as hopelees, I one day, read of the cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Tale People in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, 1 commenced taking your pills strictly according to directions. After the third dose to my surprise, I found a change for tho better. I continued with them until I, bit'by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine boxes, and am now in every way in the most perfect of condition, Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, • heart palpitation, cramps, and swelling in the legs, have all disappearod, 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 permaent one. Your pills have absolutely cured me, and I will always keep some of them by me; I feel fit for my work and for anything 1 . My mother thinks the world of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes 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 pill", and cannot praise them too highly. I shall always continue to recommend them. I am well-known here, and numbers of people have been watching my case with interest. You may make whatever use you like of this testimonial."
