A MAN WHO SWORE BEFORE THE MAYOR.

His Worship the Mayor of Walcha, N.S.W., recently received a request which surprised" him greatly, it was to take the sworn testimony of a selector, Mr Denis Walsh, as to the benefits he had derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which he had taken for Bright's disease. In order to learn the exact facts a reporter of the 'Walcha Witness went out to Winterbourne a few days ago

'Is it a fact,' he asked 'that you have been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills?'

'It is,' lie replied. 'I was in great pain for a long time, but I can now do any amount of hardwork with the greatest of ease. I first felt the pain after being thrown from a horse, and was laid up for eight months. I tried almost everything without receiving any benefit.'

'And what is your object in givingan unsolicited testimonial?'

'Simply that others may derive benefit by the same means. For a long time I was in such frightful agony that I could do nothing. I had to crawl to a log to get on my horse. I could not hold myself upright. I saw different doctors. One told me that my spine had been injured and that I should have to undergo an operation. Another said that I had disease. After a time I saw Dr. William's Pink Pills advertised. I tried to get a box, but no one kept them in Walcha, so I sent direct to Sydney for the first two boxes. After taking the first box I obtained relief, and continued to do so until completely curexl. I have used five boxes in all. Life is now a pleasure. I can mount my horse with ease, raise heavy logs, and I feel as well as ever. I have recommended the pills to other sufferers to their great benefit. While taking the pills I followed the directions on each box. Many people I know have taken them without adhering to the instructions and have obtaned no relief. Rubbing did me no good; but after taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was convinced that my complaint was caused by the state of my blood. I can now run up and down the falls with the best of the hands on the station. The men on the station know the pains I suffered and the expense I was put to in my endeavours to find relief from torture.'

'You certainly look very well,' the reporter remarked.

'Yes, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.'

Following is the sworn testimony of Mr Walsh: —

'Sir,—I have been a sufferer for 22 years with Bright's disease and a-bed back, and very often could not lace my boots, and would have to go on my knees to gather anything from the ground. At times I was completely useless, and suffered considerable pain when I moved about, and lost the use of my legs. I tried every remedy and various doctors, even Chinese, but without any benefit. I then saw your advertisement about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and resolved to give them a trial. After using the first box I felt considerably improved, and went on using them with the result that I am now quite cured, have no pains in the back, and I feel as young- as J did twenty-five years ago; in fact, I never felt better thaiv I do now, and consider your pills a most valuable medicine.

(Signed) Signed and declared before me this 30th day of January, 1897.

DENIS WALSH.

James Is. B. Watts, Mayor, Walcha

The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two inches in length, in a wrapper with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. They are never sold in bulk, or from glass jars, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form should be avoided. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine CompanjsWelling-ton, N.Z., enclosing- the price," 3s a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing- .that could injure the most delicate.

As a spring medicine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills far surpass all other remedies. Their action on the blood and nerves is prompt, and the effect is wonderful. Lassitude gives way to a feeling of renewed energy, and the lurking seeds of disease resultingfrom the indoor confinement of the winter months are speedily expelled from the system. These pills are sold only in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the full trade mark, 'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' A pill, even if coloured pink, offered in any other form is a fraudulent imitation, and should be promptly refused. Buyers will protect themselves ag-ainst imposition by bearing this in mind.
