ITCHING, BURNING SORES.

HOW DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURED WM. SHARPE'S ECZEMA. Every reader will remember reading in tlfccee columns a few weeks ago tfie rej niarkable 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 well-known 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. Ho took a course at the Nuhaka Hot Springs, but they made the Eczema worse. Three years ago Mr Sltellard (who live* 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 ooziug, itching soree all over hia body beiapn to lieal, 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 lias not had any return of his old trouble since he finished these pills, two and a half _years ago. Tl'nwe fact* 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 • similar case in Sydney. In fact, it was through reading Mr Shellard's testimony * that Mr William Sharpe began to hop* that Dr. Williams* Pink Pjlls might cur* him. His case was ever so much worse, for ho had suffered from Eczema in its worst form for 17 years, until hia whole , health was broken down. Mr Sharpe, by tho way, who lives at 170 Short street, Balmain, Sydney, is a man of. good birth and splendid education—a thorough gentle* man and a distinguished citizen. ■ ' "I am 63," said Mr Sharpe. "A year ago I was as old and impotent as a man of 80, but to-day I honestly feel as bright ■ and healthy as when I was 30—thanks entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They cured roe of the wont, form of Eczema the doctors here had ever reen. I was literalir covered from head to foot with sores that itched and burned and bled and sweated a filthy fluid. 16 . drove mc nearly mad to have my ekin , chafed by any of my clothes, especially., my trousers. Often I wanted to tear tfis/g flesh off my bones. Whenever the •ore»? : K healed, scales and' crusts formed. I weJj£l> in a horrible state, and nothing did mc th* leapt lasting good. Toons doctor alone in Sydney I paid £40 for special treat- . ment, and I spent hundreds on specialist*,' drugs, and patent preparations-. I have used no end of special soaps, ointment*, liniments, lotions, and other boasted remedies. I took eight v boxen of one muchadvertised purging pill—but they only drained away my strength and made mc worse than ever. I wae a regular wreck. • My nervea broke down under the strain, and I could neither eat nor deep. I had terrible headaches, and the least food wa* apt to upset my stomach and liver. Erery \ ; year the disease spread, and I grew thinner, weaker,' and more hopeless. Then, : ! after reading about Mr Sbellard, of Gisborne, I decided to try Dr. William* , Pink ■-i Pille. They coon gave mc a, grand »pp«KV; tite, and I gained every day in strength and weight. Gradually the soree drted ; up. the scale* dropped off, and ail tteX'. ; itching agony stopped. I could feel the new blood in my veins, and it mad* my akin as. pure and soft as & child's. Bat S 5 Dr. Williams' Pink Pille 'did more cure my Eczema. They made "» new miiaitl of mc, restoring all my old vitality. 2fdr*J«r concluded Mr Sharpe, emphatically, "tiwrtjjJl is no tonic and no blood medicine: in' th» world that can compare with Dr. «Wlfrs§ Hams , Pink Pills for Pale People." ■ ■£$£ There could be no greater proof the power of Dr. Williams' Pink' Pill* .**||J a blood medicine. The only possible to cure Eczema is to sweep out of ,iw#|§f blood all the itching, festering pouaa titalifl causes these sores. /Dr. William* , PinfcJl Pills alone can do that, because•-.th*jsil actually make new blood. They dojatsl§§ that one thing, hut they do it well. Ths*|jj .is the simple scientific reason why they. curejß all blood diseases like anemia, bad com*j| plexion, biliousness, indigestion, aches, backache, lumbago, rh«umati«i||| sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, dance, loss of vitality, asthma, weakness, irregularity of -the Wood-flßppl*g|| and the special ailments of Bp%lii and women. ' Remember Dr. Wuliamx|| Pink Pills don't act on the-bowcl*.v>'9liisifa will cure no disease, that is not caused: I bad blood. And, of course, you : wifl , .ttrtpj expect the slightest benefit if •yoB : i , ; some shopkeeper palm off a tubttrtute' you. You must get the genuine Djr^ : Hams' Pink Pills for Pale People, made Mvl l New Zealand, and having the W<llingt<£ on the wrapper. They are abray*.4| in boxes—never in bottles. get.locally the genuine N.Z. kind in boxes,.>fei order them by mail from the Dk. Hams' Medicine Co., Wellington—3* a, box»3|| six boxes 16s 6d, port free. Medical *d*g| vice given free. . . ■. ■*.";■
