Women's Headaches.

MUCH NEEDLESS SUFFERING.

AN AUTHORITY'S OPINION,

1 We often hear of a ceriain cure for headaches, which Invariably are m no way at all removed by the alleged cure, that practically we pay no attention to such a statement (writes ' Vita ' m the * Ladies Mirror) when made. I, myself, however, have lately become oeriain that a positive cure, not only for this complaint, but for anaemia itself has at last been found In Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' Mrs Lee, of 280 Sussex atreet, Sydney, Is one lady amongst many who amply verifies this latter statement.

• I was never very robust,' she explained to a reporter who reoently visited her, * although tip to September of last year I enjoyed fairly good health. From then, however, I gradually lost my good health irad animation; I grew pallid m appearance, white about the gums, and I felt dull, sleepy and depressed. In fact, the alteration m my appearance was so marked that all my friends noticed it ; nor could I dteguise my decline from myself, for the looking-glass assured me of it. I continually felt very depressed »nd despondent, and I lost my appetite completely. I also suffered greatly from hbadaches, with shortness of breath upon the slightest exertion. As my condition grew worse and worse, I became alarmed and consulted a doctor. I tfi>tt>ined no permanent benefit, however. I then spent a good deal of money m tonics, at the suggestion of different chemists, but these also proved quite ineffectual. Becoming more despondent each day, because all hope of n<y recovery seemed fatlle, I happened to read m an evening paper of one of the cures of anaemia by J. r Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The symptoms described were bo similar to my own that I determined to try this remedy. I did so, and I can caadidfo say that the results exceeded my most sanguine expectations. I bought three boxes to start with, and I carefully followed the directions. After using the first box I felt a decided improvement, which daily increased as I continued to take them. I took m all five boxes of the Pills, and I was then aa well as ever I had been mmy life. Dr Williams Pink Pills have alone effected my oure, as with the exception of a laxative I took no other medicine.'

They are genuine only with the fall name, Dr Williams Pint Pills for Pale People, and are sold by all chemists, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, JN Z , who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or pose order, one box for 3j, or half-a-dozan for 16s 6 i.

A remarkable efficacy m curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia," partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitua' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling aiising therefrom, the after-effects of U grippe, \uQ\iex\z\, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors m the blood, such as Bcrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc , is possessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a ppvclfic for the troubles peculiar bo the fern 'le system, and m the case of men thsy effect a radical cure m all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, and exoetses of any nature. A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical.
