PARALYTIC STROKE AT SEA.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR ON A WELLINGTON BOAT. While on a voyage from Thames to Wellington to visit her daughter, Mrs B. N. Ryan was suddenly stricken with n paralytic stroke. The affair has many ■ mysterious features. One of -the strangest things about ihe case is that she went u> sleep peacefully, and a few hours later woke suddenly to find .herself crippled and powerless. She could neither speak nor move.

As soon as the boat reached Wellington medical attendance was procured, and everything possible w«s done for the unfortunate woman. The doctors declared that the whole left side was paralysed. After being treated by practitioners in private. Mrs Ryan was removed to the Hospital, but the Hospital Authorities, after doing all in their power i'of her, s?nt her to her home at Kuaotunu, near Thames She continued, however, as helpless in Kuaotunu as she had been in Wellington until she began using Dr. Williams' pink pills for p;ile people. They raised her ■from (her bed in a way that is little short of miraculous, and this has caused a good deal of talk throughout her section of the Thames Peninsula. After the second boxful Mrs Ryan regained some power to move. She felt a tingling sensation in her limbs, which was, of course, the gradual circulation cf the blood, brought about by thes=e wonderful blood-building and nerve-toning pills. In a short while she was able to leave her bed, and a little later to walk into the kitchen. Wh«n the stroke seized her, her mouth had been drawn 'bat:k to her ear, and she presented a pitiable sight, but now the muscles relaxed and the mouth resumed its proper position. Thus encouraged Mrs RyaJi perseveied steadily, and improvement continued witfh each boxful. "Before I took them," said she, " I could neither move noi speak. Now I can get about actively, attend to my household work, and talk as well as ever. I admit," added Mrs Ryan, " that I am not quite so strong as before, but Dr. Williams' pink pills have done wonders for mc, even after skilful doctors and the best Hospital treatment ha:J failed." Mrs Ryan is now living in Mackay street, Thames.

Of course Mrs Ryan was careful to obtain from the Kuatounu chemist the genuine New Zealand Dr. Williams' rrink pills made in Wellington. No other form of this medicine would have been sujted to 'her case, for the special conditions of these Islands make it absolutely necessary to prepare these pills according to a special Ne>v Zealand formula. Substituted pills in small glass bottles, or enclosed in a foreign wrapper, would have been utterly unable to cure her paralysis. Paralysis' is probably the worst of all nervous disorders, and when this famous remedy has curea cases of paralysis and locomotor ataxia it is not surprising that they are a neverfailing remedy for epilepsy, fits, neuralgia, st. vitus' dance, nervous exhaustion, early decay and like troubles. Bnt you must make sure that the full address. Wellington, New Zealand, is printed in red capital letters on tba outside wrapper and that the pills are ni a wooden box—not a glass bottle. If you cannot obtain this genuine package from your local dealer, write direct to the Dr. Williams' medicine co., Wellington. This is the kind that raised Mrs Ryan, of Thames, from her bed.
