A BAKER VICTIMISED
The many friends of that wellknown sexagenarian, Mr. David Grant, baker, of Waimea-street, Nelson, will be sorry to hear he has been the victim of a very nasty experience. The particulars he gave of the affair to a reporter are os follows: "Since I left Scotland, forty years ago, and settled in Nelson, I have fol-
lowed m y trade of a baker, and not without success. But 7 years ago my efforts were tempo rarily hecked owing to my contracting a severe attack of influenza. The influenza left me with a bad
hacking- cough, with my nerves unstrung and my vitality impaired. I grew so -weak and altered that my friends observed the change. Then the symptoms of bronchitis manifested themselves, and the slightest change of air produced a violent fit of coughing. 1 went on like this from bad to worse; no doubt the work in the early morning hours, which, our trade entails, helped the bronchitis to get a strong hold of me."
"The early morning hours do not seem to affect you now, said the reporter, "for you look as sturdy a specimen of a Scotch settler as it would be possible to find." "Yes," said Mr. Grant, "and I feel as well as I look, but it was not until I began taking Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people that I began to improve. After taking two boxes I felt considerably stronger, and the cough affected me less. A few more boxes completely cured me, and my health at present is splendid. Whenever I am afflicted with a cold I always take Dr. Williams' pink pills, and I find them most effectual in checking it. I am continually recommending this medicine to sufferers, for I cannot be too grateful for what it has done for me." ■
All lung and chest complaints yield to the strengthening effects of Dr. Williams' pink pills, and even consumptives, declared incurable by doctors, have been freed from the ravages of this disease by a faithful use of Dr. Williams' pink pills. Write for particulars. By enriching the blood and toning up the nerves they also cure sciatica, rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia, poor circulation, anaemia, debility, effects of fevers, heavy colds, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
