HOW A MODISTE ATTAINED SUCCESS.
The success which has attended the technique and the natural taste evinced in the costumes designed by Mrs M. A. Oraoknell, modiste, of 275, Liverpool-street, Hobart, will cause our readers to be interested in a resume of her life.

I am glad to say, meeting with the appreciation of my clients. But eight years ago I haid the misfortune to suffer so greatly from internal troubles that I had to undergo first one, and later, two more operations. Then for several years I was in a decline. Internal abscesses kept forming, and the doctor who attended me despaired of my life. I grew so thin that I could count almost every bone in my frame, and my face was the colour of parchment. I was languid and 'mopy' every day, and had hardly enough strength to drag myself along. Through sheer force of will I -worked on at times, but had to take to my bed now and again, and on one occasion I sank so low in health that my death was daily expected. My nerves were completely shattered, and life was indeed a burden when I was j induced to try Dr. Williams' pink pills. Before long my appetite improved and I gradually put on flesh. As I continued taking these pills my strength slowly returned and the internal pains diminished. I can truthfully say that four boxfuls improved me greatly, and the contents of two snore boxes completely cured me.

It is because they fortify and strengthen.' the constitution that these pills axe unlike any other medicine. Every dose helps to enrich the blood and tone up the nerves. Insist on getting the genuine pills, which are sold only in a white" wrapper bearing in red the full name —Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. When doubtful send direct to Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, enclosing the price, three shillings for one box, or sixteen and. six for six bo-xas, post free. They cure anaemia, debility., neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion, liver and kidney troubles, St. Vitus' dance, rickets, skin diseases, paralysis, etc. They are not a purgative, and .they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate lady or child.
