A GIRL'S SCREAMS.
A FAMILY FRIGHTENED. A very severe fright was recently occasioned a well-known family by the screams of one of its members—a young lady some 19 years of age. Details of the matter ihow that she was painfully subject to severe cramps Indeed, so severe was her agony that at times she would be forced to scream aloud in sheer horror, to the bewilderment and despair of her family and friends. Now, however, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have completely cured her. She says : " Ever since I was 15 I have been Buffering more or less. Palpitation cf the heart was my principal trouble, aud tliis was induced by anaemia, or poorness of the blood. When, for instance, I ran upstairs my heait used to thump most frightfully against my sides, and so bad was it that on these occasions I was unable to work for some time afterwards. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused rr.e to scream out in very desperation, to the despair of those around. I was always in a weak, low state, and never felt fit for my work. My legs would swell up to a considerable extent. Thus, as I grew older, I became worse and worse, being subject also to giddiness, which many a time caused me to almost fall down. I tried plenty of medicines, and 1 had several doctors, but they gave me 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 noticed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking your pills 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 4 months aso I left them off altogether. I have taken 9 boxes, and am now in 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 during the past 4 months, it is evident my cure is permanent. I feel fit for my work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself. I have recommended them to all my friends. Four of them speak as I do of the pill?, and cannot praise them too highly. I shall always continue to recommend them." The young lady in question is Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, N.Z.
