THE FEATHERSTON ESCAPE. INTERVIEW WITH THE HEROINE. A press representative recently had a most interesting interview with the charming young lady who is now known as the heroine of the IVatherston escape. Featherslon is a town in North Island, New Zealand, anil the lady in question is Miss Petrea Peterson. Thefull particulars of her marvellous escape are best given in her own vivacious words;—“l am 19 years of age,” she said, “and ever since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less. Palpitation of the heart was my principal trouble, and this was induced by ansemia, or poorness of the blood. When, for instance, I ran upstairs my heart used to thump most frightfully against my sides, and so bad was it that on these occasions I was unable to talk for some 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 in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation, 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 HER HEART PALPITATED, mother great suspense. Thus as I grew older I became 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, one after the other, but they gave mo no relief. I also consulted throe doctors regarding an allliction 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, 15 commenced taking your pills strictly according to directions. After the third dose, to my surprise, I found a change for the 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 condition. Insomnia, weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings in the legs have all disappeared, and the affection in ray 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. My mother thinks the world of Dr. Williams’ Fink Pills for Palo People, and she has tried several boxes herself. [ am awfully thankful to them, and I have recommended thorn to all my friends.
