GARDENER'S UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.
It is not always sunshine and full bloora with the gardener, and an interview with Mi Bobert, Thorna*, in his neat little cottage, 100 Durham street, Sydenham, Christehurch, is certainly instructive. Mr Thomas, whose seventy-five years Hit lightly upon him, has given some valuable points for publication in the Christchurch "Press."'* "My work, said he. "as a gardener naturally exposes mc a good d?al to the win"! and wet, and I often have to dig in damp ground. The result of this was, that nine years ago, when living in Auckland, I was one day suddenly afflicted with excruciating pains in the back and left hip. I cried aloud in-agony. My wife thought I was demented. A skilful doctor was immediately sent for. but despite lotions and electric batteries I did not seem ■ to improve. Indeed, the pains increased in severity and extended down the right leg. Subsequently other doctors treated lac; then I tried nearly all tlio patent medicineadvertised, but they proved worthless. I spcnl hundreds of pounds without obtaininj- relied, 1 and I often prayed that death would releaser' mc. Some eight months ago my wife persuaded mc to try Dr. Williams' pink pills. To my surprise and delight the first bos brought a wonderful improvement, the pain lessened, and I felt stronger. I continued with the pills, and week by week improved in general health, until every sympton of seiation, had left mc. I have worked about in nil weather since, and have had no return of my ailment."
The ailment known as sciatica is duo to nerve disorder or nerve injury. Dr. Williams' pink pills being a nerve tonic tone up and rebuild the wasted nerve tissue. When ihe nerves are healthy, sciatica and such ailinoats cannot exist. By their tonic action on tho blood, nnd nerves Dr. Williams' pink pills have cured many cases of rheumatism, bronchitis, consumption, neuralgia, cffectn of typhoid fever, debility, ladies' ailments, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, etc. Sold by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, post free, and by oil chemists and storekeepers—But mind you ask for Dr. Williams'.
