Pale Faces and Bloodless Lips--Given to Headaches 5 Heart Paipisation and Other Distres- sing Symptoms--The Means 'of Cure Readily at Hand. (From the Leamington Post.) The attention of the Post, has late- ly been frequently called to a Te markable cure in the case of a young girl living within a few miles of this town, whose life was despaired of, Lut who was eomplétely cured In a short space of time by the most won- derfui of all remedies, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Since reading in al- most every issue of the Post of the cures effected by the use of this medicine, we felt it to be a duty we owed to investigate this case which has so urgently been brought to our notice, and we are sure the in- terview will be read with interest b the thousands of young girls allo Canada, as well as the parcnte of such interesting patients. The young lady + e@ e, in question is not anxious for noto- riety, but is willing to make her case known in order that others who are similarly afflicted may have an op- portunity of being equally benefited. The symptoms in her disease differed in no way from those affecting thou- sands of young girls about her age. | Shé was suffering from extreme Weak- ness, taused by an impoverished con- dition of the blood, and her chances of life seemed to grow less every day.

To our reporter she declared that life had been a burden, but after suffering in this way for months,-and- after trying all sorte of remedies prescribed by physicians or furnished .by friends from some cher ished recipe handed down from their grandmother, but without being ben- efited in the least, she was at) last persuaded by a neighbor to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial; but she had tried so many remedies with- out getting relief that she still re- fused for some weeks. However, after repeated urgings by her parents and friends she began the use of the pills. Before one box was taken she experi- enced some relief, and after the use of a few more boxes she was restored be perfect health, and there are few oung Bhe says she owes her 1 oe Williams' Pink Pills, and is omilitne & at all the world shail now it @m.case attracted much attent her perfect. recovery has created such comment.
