When a Giri is Nineteen.

WHAT SHE TALKS ABOUT.

A maiden's maidenly confessions are always interesting, not only' to her own ccx, but likewise *o the other sex. .Particularly interesting will prove the experience of Miss Petrea Ptterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Zanland. 4 1 am 19 years of age,' said Miss Petrea Peterson, of Featherston, North Island, New Z aaland. to a pr» 83 represen taiive who interviewed her last month, * and since i was fifteen I have been j suffering, more or leaß. I had acute pa\\A fttion of the heart, which wa3 brought about by areeaoia or bloodless ness, to which I was long a martyr. Whenever 1 ran up9tairß my heart would thump violently against my sides, and I would be quite speechless for several moments until I recovered my breath. J*ight after night I tossed, weary and worn-out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. I had fearful attacks of cramps m my legs, and so great was the aqoay that frequently ib caused. me to scream out m very desperation. I was always m a weak, low state, and never felt "fis for my work. My legs would at times swell up to a oonaiderable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother great suspense. Thus, as I grew older I grew 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 dootore, bub they gave no relief. I ateo ' consulted three dootors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I Buffered. Having almost given up my oise as hopeless, I one day noticed an advertisement for Dr 'Williams' Pink Pills for Paie People m the Ev.ning Post. Gathering hope from this, m J une, 1897, I commenced taking them strictly accord ing to dirf ctions. After the third d< sa 1 found a chenge for the better. I continued with them until I bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. 1 have taken a total of nine boxes, and am now m every way m the most perfect health. Insomnia, weakness, giddine.s, heart palpitation, cramps, and swellings In the lega have all disappeared, and the affection m my eye has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailments at all during the past four monthp, ib is evident that my care is a permanent one. The pll's have abso lutely cured me, and I will always, keep some cf them by me. 1 feel fib for my work and for anything. My mother thinks the world of Dc Williams' Pn k Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself." I am awfally 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. I em well known here, and numbers of people heve been watching roy case with interest. You can use this testimonial m any way you desire.' Among other diseases the following have been cured by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People : — Paralysis, locomotor ataxla, rheumatism, and neuralgia, St. Vitas dance, ECiatioa ; also diseases arising frcm an impoverished condition of the blcod, nervous headacho, neivaus prostration, and the tirei feeling arising therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, irfluerzi, and severe colds, dengue and typhoid fevers, diseased depend ng on humors inlho blood, such as fcccofula, chronic erysipelaß, &c. Dr Williams' Pink Pillsgive a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specif c for the troubles peculiar to the female system. These pills are a tonic, not a purgative They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Willams 1 Pink Pills for Pale , People, and are 'add by chemist s and storekeepers generally ; or the Dr Williams Med»cine Ccmpary, Wellington, N Z-, will forward, on receipt cf stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half dczen for 16 i 61. These pills cannot ihjure the most delicate constitution.
