DYING OF CONSUMPTION.

JOHN BRIGHT, OP BBNBIGO. SPITTING BLOOD FOR 7 YEARS., GIVE2f UP BY ALL. THE DOCTORS. IN PERFECT HEALTH TO-DAY. DR. WILLIAMS , PINS. PILLS. "Twelve yeara ago I toed to get into * Benefit Society, but the doctor raid point blank he could uo% pae* mc," said Mr John Bright, wholesale end retail fruiterer, Hargreavee Mroct, Bendigo. "Hβ said my lung» were co bad that no Insnnmco Company would take the risk of my !"«- For the next eeven years I had i>.ood-spit*.ng, aud at last it brought on Coneumpcion. I had o-ght or ten oociors. aud noi one ol them coiud do. anything , lor zae. At iaßt I wen* w> the Bendigo Hx.epiUu-i.u6 they couldn't save mc toere. ily cough kepi getting worse and worse. 1 woe m the last »t*js* when my oousm mado mc begin i>r. Wuliuna' Pink PiJs for i'ale People. They bu:it mc up from the very sain. In, the end taey oared mo. To-day my rungs are- aa sound aa any man's—and they-have been for the I*«* five years, hwee then, Dr. Wiliiains , Pink Pills cured my dwugWer Hilda of of the' Throat axter tho doctors and the Hospitals had , iai.ed to do her any good. So its no wonder I swear by ft medicine that hss saved two lives in my family. "The lodge doctor picked first thing _on my lungs being- weak," added Mr' Bright who, by the wa>y, has lived m Bendigo for the last 32 yeaxs. 'Three years before I had ■been kicked by a hores in chest. The doctor sa:d it may ha<vo been the oauso of the tumble in the- firet p.uce, but there waa ecwaething nwro the matter wi;h mo now. He kept tapping away at ray oheet for two eolid hours. At last I started to cough, and brought up a big cJot of b!ocd. As Boon us tho doctor saw that, ho aaid it, was no nee examining mc any more. - My hinge, were all gone. He saild there was not an. Insurance Company under Heaven that would take mc. "From that time on, I sUrted to waete away. i>uriug the next seven years,-I coughed ■up gallons of blood from my lunige. I would sprt up a mouthful of blood, four or five or six times a day. Just before an attack of bleeding oain'o on, tho back of my throat started to burn. There was a taete like salt in my mouth, end then a maty tickling coug-h came on. Tho first thing I knew, the ■blood wouid rush tip from my lunge into my mouth. Tho sight of it gave mc a shock every time, after what tho doctor told mc. 1' knew that every bleeding attack brought mc tb.4t much nearer my grave—and scmetimea I hod as Bjany as thirty or forty in one week. .

"The doctcra couldn't do a- thing for mc. Tfhen cne faiiled, I went to another—«nd I couldn't tell you hew many I had altogether. There was sob one of them could gave mc any medicine to etop ray lungs bleeding. After every fresh otUicH, I would shake like a leaf. I could feel py strength, being drained away Often I nocir'.y fainted. I lost all heart, and felt that it was r.o use ptruggling against tihe. fate that wa3 waiting for mc.

"Sometimes tho pain in my legs and arms wae worse than Rheumaitiam," added Mr Bright, who gave tho present interview at bie private hauEo in Bath street, off Mitchell street. "The paam ivsed to start in my thighs «ind> run down to my ankles. The pain wae; go bad.at times that I could sot sleep.with it. My nervee got all on edge, and I went off my"io;d. Of course, that only helped to hasten the end. I was just wasting away before everyone's eyes. Often my lege were 100 weak to ihold mc. I began to fear I would lose the use of them altogether—but, thamk Cod, I started! to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills before it came to that. Still, many a day I Vina too weak to leave niy bed. Even* at my b&stv I had haid work to struggle up the street a few blocks. Everybody w-Jjo miw mc said I was in Consumption. "'JLlnis went on for ycara in spite of ail that the best doctors in Bendigo could do for mo. When tiheir own medicines did met no good, they to;d xno to take cod kvex oil. I took dozens of bottles—but I kept' on. going from bad to worse. .My faco wae the cOioux of Death. . I ■ wse worn down to a skeleton. Every time I coughed, it rocked mc from head to fott. I'ho cough kept tearing my lunge more and more, .five or six times in one day a blood vessel in my lunge would break; and the blocd would rush up to my moul'h. for two or three hours afterwards my phlegm would be.aid streaked with blood. I was just spitting my life away.. It was cough, cough, couyh every hour of the nigfot. One after another the doctors gave mc up. At last I went to the Bendigo 'Hospital. T&ey ! left no stone unturned to cuaxr me—<bat I kept c-ix wasting away before their eyes. No, one thought that I had more then, another mouth. or two k> live. \ •■■, . ~ ■ "One day, just after one of my bad 6im of I ooughing, niy cousin, Charles Bright, of UoOrae street, Bendigo, cam* into ccc mc. I was lying;there ■stroiohod oat-.like dead, too weak io move a muscle. He never-knew before how bad I watt. Then he told mo how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured foinv of nerveu* exhaustion—amdi ho said tihat ft was hie own doolcf that tonde him take "them. The doctor told him that they ..were made from the finest proscription in the world;* .That very night I- gent to Jones, the chemist, <k/wn 'in Haigicaves street, for ialf-a-dtwen •boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink PiHs. The first • box- didn't do mo any good—.but the second gtce mc a bettor appetite than I had had! for seven years. After that my cough begun to ease up. As time went en. I couM feel myeelf getting stronger. Before a month was out, I had .etopped spitting blood; From that time on, my lungs had' c ebamee to heal. In the end) Dr. Williams' Pink Pills built mc up info a strong, healthy,man with lungs'ae sound as a bell. It .is over five years how eince I wae cured, and l I have- never shad another wltack of bleeding from the lungs. That paove-s thai Dr. v W£liame' Pink Pills have cured mc for ■good. Mare than-that, they caved Hilda's lifowhen the beet Hospital specialist* gave her up." ' Tie owly hope for the poor Consumptive. lies in plenty of gocd rich red blocd. - The only way to fight -tie. bacilli, heal the longs, aid build up the strength, is-through the ■blood.
