The Featherston Escape.

INTERVIEW WITH THE HEROINE,

A. press representative recently had a most interesting interview with the charming young lady who ia now known as the heroine of the Featherston escape. Featherston is a town in North Island, New Zealand, and the lady in question is Miss Petrea Peterson. The full particulars of her marvellous escape are best given in her own vivacious words : —" I am 19 yeara of age," she said, " and ever since I was 15 I have been suffering more or less. Palpitation of the heart was my principal trouble, and this was induced by ansemia, or poorness of the blood. When, for instance, I ran up-stairs my heart used to thump most frightfully against my sides, and so bad was it that on these occasions I was unable to talk for some time afterwards. This was naturally a source of considerable anxiety to my family and friends. Night after night I tossed, weary and worn-out, on my bed, trying vainly to sleep. At times, too, I had fearful attacks of cramp in my legs, and so great was the agony that frequently it caused me to scream out in very desperation, to the despair of those around. I was always in a weak, low state, and, of course, never felt fit for my work. My legs, too, would at times swell up to a considerable extent, and this naturally occasioned myself and my mother

HER HEABT PALPITATED, great suspense. Thus as I grew older I became 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 doctors, one after the other, but they gave me no relief. I also consulted three doctors regarding an affliction of the eye from which I suffered. Having given up my ca?e as hopeless, I one day noticed an advertisement for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for 'Pale People in the Evening Post. Gathering hope from this, in June, 1897, I commenced taking your pills strictly according to directions. After the third dose, to my surprise, I found a change for the better. I continued with them until T, bit by bit, improved so much that four months ago I left them off altogether. I have taken a total of nine boxes, and now am in every way in the most perfect condition. weakness, giddiness, heart palpitation, cramp, and swellings in the legs have all • disappeared, and the affection to my eye has likewise ceased. As there has been no recurrence of these ailmentsat all during the past fourmonths, it is evident that my cure is a permanent one. My mother thinks the world of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she has tried several boxes herself. lam awfully 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. You may make whatever use you like of this testimonial."
