FIFTEEN YEARS IN AN ACCOUNTANT'S LIFE.
In Stratford commercial life no figure is more familiar than that of Mr C. J. Watkins, whose reputation and ability as an accountant is vouched for by all who have business relations with him.
Some episodes connected with the last fifteen years of his life appear in an interesting form in a contemporary. "Before taking up accountancy, said Mr Watkins, "I was a storekeeper conducting a considerable business, but my last fifteen years have been burdened by acute sciatica and rheumatism. I Buffered from sharp darting pains all over. The muscles of my limbs were so contracted .that for months at a time I was crippled. I lost flesh, and after trying many medicines without benefit, I lost hope of being cured. One day I read a pamphlet concerning Dr. Williams' pink pills instancing several cases of chronic rheumatism they had cured. I commenced them, and after some little time felt considerably better. As I continued with them the aches and pains subsided, my muscles stretched out and I got the use of my limbs; later on I was perfectly cured. This was four years ago, so there is no doubt of my cure being permanent. I shall certainly recommend them to all sufferers with whom I come in contact. ■ . ' '
In Mr. Watkins' case an acid or vitiated condition of the blood provoked by cold and damp induced sciatica, another name for neuralgia of the large sciatic nerve controlling the lower limbs. Liniments only gave temporary relief. To effect a cure the blood must be purified, enriched, and the nerves retoned. By doing this Dr. Williams' pink pills have cured many cases of sciatica and rheumatism, anaemia, eczema, rickets, erysipelas, consumption, bronchitis, etc. The genuine are sold by chemists and storekeepers if insisted upon, and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, three shillings per 'box, six boxes sixteen and six—but mind you ask for Dr. Williams'. Book free to enquirers.
