DR WILUAMS' PINK FILLS EFFECT ANOTHER GREAT CURE. A case worthy of special mention is that of Mr Oeorgo Millard Walker, well known in and about Ha wera, New Zealand. Mr Walker; when interviewed, said he was 53, and had travelled all over the colonies daring the last 35 years. As a soldier and gold-miner h« had endured great hard* ships. He came to New Zealand ai a private in the 50th Regiment, " Queen's Own/ and went through the Maori ytax, serving in the Waikato and Taranaki campaign under General Chute, and he was one of the expedition that made the celebrated march round Mount Egmont, "when," said Mr Walker, "we endured great hardships in the dense bush, and had to eat our packhorses." He also went to the gold-fields of Australia, and was amongst the first on several of the new rushes in New South Wales, Victoria, and. Queensland. "What I suffered from," said Mr Walker, "is sciatica. I was down with fever and ague, and then with rheumatic fever, when on the Palmer diggings, in Queensland. That was my worst) experience, and I have never until recently been quite free from it. When I came back to New Zealand I tried the hot springs in Auckland, but got only partial relief. I was recently laid up in the Haweria Hospital, where I had to be taken in a cab, and I came out in the same way. I consulted many doctors, who treated me, but they never told me what was wrong. When in the hospital my knee waß drawn to my ear, and I was like that when I came out. A lady who was visiting the hospital told me her husband had been Buffering as I did, and had derived great benefit through using Dr Williams' Pink Pilhy So I ! decided to come out, and try the Pills. This was about 6 months ago. I carried out the directions, and before I had taken a box and a-half I got my leg half-way down, and could get about with a stick After the third box I dispensed with the stick. After the fourth box I was able to do light work, and this winter there has been nothing the matter with me. The pain haa quite lefc me." At the time of this interview Mr Walker appeared hale, .hearty, and active. He declared he could write whole pages about the good the Dr Williams' Pink Pills had done him. Mr Walker is well-known in Hawera, and has a first-class fishmonger's business in High street, Hawera, where he carries out with activity the duties of his trade. II Many people," said Mr Walker, " have observed my recovery, and congratulated me on it, as after the life of exposure and hardships that I have led, my case was looked on as hopeless. I have recommended the Pills to othf»rs, and will continue to do so, for they made me fit for an ordinary day's work at my old trade of nursery gardenrer. The pains I suffered were dreadful j it was like a million toothaches shot into my leg. lam glad of the opportunity you have given me of testifying to the value of the medioine that has cured me after my long experience of suffering."
