Yellow Skin

WHY IS IT SO PREVALENT IN AUSTRALIA? Visitors to Australia have frequently remarked the prevalence of a peculiar yellowness in the skin of its residents, especially noticeable in the faces of the fair sex. There are many canaes which account, in a more or less degree, for this parchment-like appearancej'n the ekin of our women folk. The excessive heat, coupled with sudden climatic changes and want of outdoor exercise contribute largely to it. Then again, its acquirement is aided by many disorders more or less prevalent in Australia. A Melbourne lady, Mrs K. Hallinan, residing at 7 Sydney street, Collingwood, "Victoria, speaking ofthe matter recently, said : — " Afc one time my skiu was very yellow. It bad a dry, parchment-like appearance, which certainly presented a strong contrast to the healthy color I previously possessed. This yellowness was brought on by a severe attack of facial paralysis which 1 also spread to the spine. Many of the j symptoms of paralysis, sneh as trem" bling of the hands, sudden loss of power in the arms and limbs, and partial inability to use the muscles of the body properly, were features of my disorder. At times I would feel a horrible, creeping sensation along the spine, and the muscles of my face would contract paiafully. I could eat no food, and lived almost entirely on stimulantsThus I became a skeleton. I was so weak that I could scarcely move. 1 daw several doctors who treated me with every possible attention, but ap parently failed to benefit me. They said that I would die a lingering and painful death, and consequently I became resigned as it were to thafc fate. Then also I was afflicted wifch a trouble in ray breast, which waß so serious that the breast had to bs lanced several fcime3. Whilst in this hopeless condition I noticed an advertisement concerning the wonderful curea effected by Dr Williams' pink pills. At a laet resource I resolved fco try them. My huaband bought me a box, and I at once commenced taking them. The resulfc was extraordinary ! In a few daya the paralysis commenced to leave me. The creeping sensation disappeared, and the twitching of the facial muscles ceased. Day after day I became stronger and in better spirits than before. My rapid recovery quite astonished my relatives and friends. I am speaking the truth in saying that after taking Dr Williams' pink pills for five weeks I was thoroughly cured and have been thoroughly cured ever since. My recovery was an exceedingly rapid ' one, but it is none the less a permanent one. My breast trouble also healed j up, and waa very soon a thing of the j past, I am a native of Collingwood, and have resided here all my life. Hundreds of people know of my recovery, and many of them have used Dr Williams' pink pills with great success. I allow the publication of my testimonial with pleasure, hoping that it may resulfc in briuging relief fco those who are suffering as severely as I formerly did." Such simple, straightforward, honest testimony speaks for itself. No medicine in the world has such a splendid record as Dr Williams' pink pills. Thousands of people telj how they have been cured of pleurisy, neuralgia, consumption, rheumatism, pneumonia, chronic coughs and colds, headaches, dyspepsia, eczema, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis, scrofula, locomotor ataxia, ladies' ailments, loss of vital strength, and all disease.-* of the blood and nerve*, by taking this wonderful remedy.
