CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.

Christmas, 1897, will soon be upon us with its accustomed happy meetings and rounds of festivities." Those lying on a bed of sickness we sincerely sympathise with, whilst Aye wish those only recently recovered from a trying* illness the compliments of the season, and trust that, as in the case of Mrs Davies, of 12, North Clarendonstreet, South Melbourne, they will be enabled to spend a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year;

Mrs Davis for five years was a great sufferer, her chief complaint being severe indigestion and swellings in various parts of the body and limbs. She became an out-patient of the Melbourne Hospital, but receiving no benefit she visited the Ilomoepathic Hospital on the St. Kilda Road. But no relief was obtained, and her health went from bad to worse. Besides prescribingforher the doctors advised her to discontinue drinking tea, but she remained the same, no relief result-

'I have walked the floor,' said Mrs Davis, 'night after night with the pain, and could obtain no rest. My agony was very great at times, and weakness almost prevented me from continuing my work. At this stage Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were brought under my notice. I procured a box, for I seemed to have an impression that they would do me good. When making* the purchase the chemist tried to induce me to buy some other kind of medicine, but I would have nothing but the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

'After the first box I improved wonderfully, and was able once more to resume my work, and I have now taken two boxes and a half. My work consists principally of washing-, and this I am able to do, and life is once more enjoyable.'

Another lady, Mrs Dunn, who lives opposite, here called in to see Mrs Davis, and to her she appealed to ratify her statements.

'Yes,' remarked Mrs Dunn, 'I have seen the poor thing doubled up with pain, and suffering the greatest agony for days together, and we all thought she was going into consumption.'

'And now,' replied I\lrs Davis, 'I am —well, "a new woman," and ail the neighbours and those for whom I work can tell you the same. Owing to my having to go about so much I am well known, and the difference between my previous condition and what it is now can be proved by dozens of people; and mind, nothing else has done me any good but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' '-'■■

'And what do you think of the pills, Mrs Dunn?' asked cmr repre* sentative.

'Well, I have nearly as much reason to be thankful for them as Mrs Davis has. 1 was not at all well when she was suffering, and I also tried them with the greatest success. My daughter has just as great faith in them as I have myself. Where she is employed the girls tried to get her to take some other medicine, as she was not well, feeling- out of sorts, and being languid and cold of a morning, but she would take nothing But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and now she is quite well and cheerful again.' Mrs Davis here remarked that all women o'ug-ht to take these pills.

'Yes.' said. Mrs Dunn, 'and men too. Look at my husband. Some time ago he became very much depressed in spirits, and got into, a 'desponding mood.' He had three bottles of medicine from the doctor, but it dis not do him as much good as a bottle of stout would have done. He got worse, and I advised him to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He had got very bad and we thought he was dying. Eventually, he commenced to take the pills, and after three boxes he was a new man; in fact, he was thoroughly cured. I think it only right that these things should be made knownfor the good of others, for I ihinlc that the pills are the grandest remedy I ever heard of.'

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a re-mark-able efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling arising- therefrom, the after-effects" of la grippe, influenza, and severe colds, diseases depending on humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Dr. Williams' Pink Pill's give a healthy glow* to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arisingl from mental worry, overwork and excesses of any nature.
