REGAIN HEALTH BY THE SAME MEANS.
THE GRANDMOTHER'S STORY.
The energy and vitality which I possess at the age of revanty-two is the marvel of our friends" said Mrs. Barnett, of 91 Rezervoir Road, Colombo, Ceylon, whose portrait, with that of her little grand- daughter, Dorothy Wilson, appears abore "Tet a few years ago my health was the cause of much anxiety, for my
HEART BECAME AFFECTED and an overwhelming weakness took posses- sion of my body. When I forced myself to Ewallow a little nonrichment it was all I conld do to retain it,
"I sought medical aid but my heart grew worte instead of better, Hightning-like pains often causing me to clutch my chest and gasp for breath. Through want of nourish ment and sleep I lost weight and strength until I became almost bed-ridden, but happily this latter stage was averted by the timely use of Dr. Willems Pink Pills for Pato People.
"With only the first few dome of these Pills I felt frosh strength in my system, and as 1 continued my rostoration to health was really rapid. I am no longer troubled with my heart, and can eat and sleep wall BOW. My little grand-daughter, too, positively owes her life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pilly."
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, APRIL 20m, 1918,
THE STORY OF THE CHILD.
At this point Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Barnett's daughter, took up the narrative, "Hy little girl Dorothy could not possibly be alive today but for Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pilla," said she. "At the age of 6 months the child had a severe fever accompanied by glandular swelling; she became awfully maciated; nourishment had to be forcibly administered. I took her to all the best. known doctors in Colombo daring the Ave Suara following this, but they differed as to her illness and I was at my wits' end what
to do.
"By careful pursing I got her into s slightly better state of health. But all hopes were dashed to the ground when she was seized with attacks of"
FITS AND CONVULSIONS growing worse and worse every day.
"Reading bow Mrs. Bay's sen was oured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I tried these Pille for Dorothy It took several boltles of them to bring about any marked change, but eventually signs of improvement were noticeable, and she began to sleep peacefully at night. Slowly but surely the File diminished and so did the pains in the head. After three months' treatment with the Pills she was quite well."

He took what direction he could in his mind and remembered how the wind would drive off to the right again, and then he got out of the sleigh.

But he barely felt his feet and knew that he was freezing fast, and that another half hour outside shelter would kill him,

So he took an old larist and some old cart ropes and knotted them together, and tied them to a hook outside the door. The flying snow out his face and he worked with his oyes shut. In them was a vision of the room in which his people prayed for him, Then he took the lantern and started for the house which was wholly invisible and only a thing to be guessed at The bitter driving snow was lighted in a faint glowing circle by the swinging lantern as he moved with pain and labour against the hurricane. And then he came to the end of his rope, and still could not see the house, and he would not shout, for he desired to go in quietly.
