A Fatality Averted

Even the busy seaport of Onehunga had its curiosity aroused recently, says oar special reporter, by an occurrence of more than usual interest. Making inquiries I found that the central figure of the event, Miss Drascllla Cunningham resided in Selwyn Street. This lady promptly gave the information asked tor, but suggested she should couple with it some events of the last few years. • Miss Cunningham!was born in One' hunga and is eighteen years of age. "My life has been marked by considerable trouble," said she, " for when quite a child I began to suffer from weakness of the chest ; two years ago a severe attatk of bronchitis came on and this induced consumption. I perspired greatly at night, and when I woke in the morning I was almost too weak to move* I lose appetite, and as a result grew consider' j abiy thinner. A. persistent and hacking 1 cough troubled me greatly and sometimes It brought up traces of bloodt I was attended by efficient doctors and treated with great care for six months, but my aliment was described as galloping con* sumption, and I was told that my ease was hopeless. Although greatly emaciated and often almost prostrated 1 lingered on, trying so many so called remedies without permanent benefit." *' If ou apparently did not give up hope, MlfeS Cunningham-'* •• No,*' said the lady, •* I did not. One day while reading in the newspaper I saw Dr Williams* pink pills for pale people advertised. The advertisemen bore the .impress of truth and I decided to try these pills It was not until I had finished the second box that improvement was noticeable. The contents of another box greatly strengthened me. and by continuing them for some time 1 became free from every symptom of consumption j since then I have been in really excellent health. lam confident that Dr Willla ms pink pills ate solely responsible for my recovery." Every case of consumption, pronounced by doctorb incurable with ordinary mcd* icine, is not beyond hope, if Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, which are not; ordinary medicine are used. They have cured many cases by restoring the lost blood and increasing the resistant) power of the lungs. When they cere vital diseases like consumption It Isnot sur* prising that by enriching the blood and toning up the nerves they cure rheumaf Ism, sciatica, neuralgia, bronchitis, influenza's effects, skin diseases, St Vitus' dance, rickets, etc ; even paralysis and locomotor ataxia yield to the genuine pills, which always bear the full name Dr Williams's pink pills for pale people, in red ink on pink tinted wrapper. Sold by chemists and storekeepers and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co, Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free; Substitutes never cure and should be avoided.
