A SIX-INCH WALK.
Under the above heading-, a contentporary publishes some extraordinary, statements concerning a pioneer Atn burn (S.A.) resident, ;Mr David WiK liam Evans, aged 54. A reporter of thet Auburn ' "Chronicle" subsequently, visited Mr Evans, in order to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the statements made concerning him. Mr, Evans amply verified the facts by the; following narrative: , "It was on June 27 of last year (said Mr' Evans), "that I found myself unable to walk or even sit; up without pain, through rheumatism. The aching, gnawing pains in my limbs were so bad that I could not .sleep. Soon I seemed paralysed altogether, and waa confined to bed. -At last I recovered so much as to be able to leave my bed 9 but . I could not walk more than six inches at a time ,and.then only with! the greatest difficulty. The paina still continued, and the. joints were stiff and useless. Whilst reading the Auburn "Chronicle" one day I saw a reported interview with a man. who had been cured of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' pink pills. I sent lor somei and commenced them. After using- l^j boxes I was able to walk a fair- step. I took four boxes after that, and was by that time able to walk about as well as ever. All pain, stiff ness anq| inconvenience left me, and I certainly) consider my cure a remarkable one^ My son, Mr Thomas . Evans, whosfg heart was- affected Kjf. rheumatismj was cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills* so that there is no doubt about theiiS extraordinary curative properties." _ Winter weather causes our blood t<? become thin and impure, and rheuma* tism has then every opportunity ta attack the system.
