ITCHING. BURNING SORES.

HOW DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURED WM. SHARP'S ECZEMA.

Every reader will remember readiug in these columns a few weeks ago the remarkable facts in the case of J. W. Shellard, the honest old verger of the English Church, Gisborne. For six years Mr. Shellard (who is also wellknown in Hokitika, Lyttelton, and Christchurch) suffered continual agony from Eczema. Until he took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People nothing was able to drive out of his system the blood-poison that caused this vile skin disease. The doctors could do nothing for him—and all the lotions, sulphur and ointments seemed to feed the ugly itching sores instead of curing them. He took a course at the Nuhaka Hot Springs but they made the Eczema worse. Three years ago Mr. Shellard (who lives in Gladstone-road. Gisborne) tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a last resort. They started at once to make new blood for him and to drive the vile impurities out. The tiny, oozing, itching sores all over his body began to heal, and when he had finished 16 boxes his skin was clean and healthy again. Ever since he has enjoyed the best of health. At first he found it hard to believe that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had really cured him for good—but now he has not had any return of his old trouble since he finished these pills, two and a-haif years ago. These facts are known to everyone, especially the Church people, in Gisborne. where Mr. Shellard has lived for twenty years, respected by all. These particulars are now recalled by a similar case in Sydney. In fact it was through reading Mr. Shellard- testimony that Mr. William Sharpe began to hope that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills might cure him. His ease was ever so much worse, for he had suffered from Eczema in its worst form for 17 years, until his whole health was broken down. Mr. Sharpe, by the way, who lives at 170, Short-street", Baimaim Sydney, is a man of\ good birth and splendid education—a thorough gentleman and a distinguished citizen.

"I am ti.," said Mr. fc_arpe. "A I year ago I was as old and impotent as a man of SO, but to-day I honestly feel as bright and healthy as when I was 30—thanks entirely * to Dr. Williams' Pink Pill- for Pale People. They cured mc of the worst form of Eczema the doctors here had ever seen. I was literally covered from head to foot -with sores that itched and burned and bled and sweated a lilthy fluid. It drove mc nearly mad to have my skin chafed by any of my clothes, especially my trousers. Often I wanted to tear tlie fle-h off my bones. Whenever the sores healed, scales and crusts formed. I was in a horrible state and nothing did mc the least lasting good. To one doctor alone in Sydney I paid £40 for special treatment, and I spent hundreds on specialists, drugs aud patent preparations. I have used no end of special soaps, ointments, liniments, lotions, and other boasted remedies. I took eighty boxes of one much-adver-tised purging pill—but they only drained away my strength and made mc worse than ever. I was a regular wreck. My nerves broke down under the strain, and 1 could neither eat nor sleep. I had terrible headaches, and the least food was apt to upset my stomach and liver. Every year the disease spread and I grew thinner, weaker j and more hopeless. Then, after reading about Mr Shellard. of Gisborne, I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They soon gave mc a grand appetite, and I gained every day in strength and weight. Gradually the sores dried up, the scales dropped off, and all the itching agony stopped. I could feel the new blood in my veins and it made my skin as pure aud soft as a child's. But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did more than cure my Eczema. They made a new man of mc, restoring all my old vitality. No," concluded Mr. Sharpe emphatically, '* there is no tonic and no blood medicine in the world that can compared with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People."

There could be no greater proof about the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood medicine. The only possible way to cure Eczema is to sweep out of the blood all the itching festering poison that causes these sores. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills alone can do that because they actually make new blood. They do just that one thing, but they do it well. That is the simple scientific reason why they cure all blood diseases like anaemia, bad complexion, biliousness. indigestion, headaches, backache, lumbago, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness. St. Vitus' dance, loss of vitality, asthma, general weakness, irregularity of the blood-sup-ply, and the special ailments of growing girls and w_mien. Remember Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills don't act on the bowels. They will cure no disease that is not caused by bad blood. And, of course, you will not expect the slightest benefit if you let some shopkeeper palm off a substitute on you. You must get the genuine Dr. Williams 3 Pink
