HADN'T AN ATOM OF STRENGTH,

« — GISBORNE WOMAN HELPLESSLY WEAK FOR MONTHS. TREATED BY VARIOUS METHODS WITHOUT SUCCESS. NOW IN THE BEST OF HEALTH, CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. Tho following statement is given by Mrs. F. M. Lasker, Gisborno. She was a victim of anaemia and her case was so severe that it baffled every treatment tried. For years her blood kept getting weaker and poprer. Then she read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills. She gave them a trial with the result that her health was fully restored and she has had no return of her trouble since. This is just one instauco of how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can cure bloodlessness when all other moans prove useless. "Just about threo years ago I got into a very bad state of health through my blood getting very poor," said Mrs. Lasker. "My face was terribly pale with dark rings under my eyes, and my lips and gums were quite white. Somstimes my feet and ankles wero puffed very badly. If I walked quickly or did any hard work 1 got .very short of broath and gasped painfully. The fluttering of my heart was more than I could bear. Very often I had attacks of giddiness, and very often I nearly fell down, unless I caught hold of something quickly I would have done so. Twice I fainted right off. " I was terribly nervous and could not boar being in the houso by myself. I suffered with awful headaches on tho top of my head — I used to go about with wet towels on my head to try and get relief. It nearly always meant lying down until 1 got better, as keeping on my feet was right out of tho question. My appetito vanished—nothing could tempt me to make a meal. Mother tried all sorts of things to make me eat, but I could only pick at them. When I went to bed I tossed about for hours trying to go to sleop. Then when I did doze off I often woko with a start thinking that I was falling. In tho morning I felt tired aud worn out. Every day I felt myself growing weakor. I felt terribly miserablo and did not care what happened. At last a friend advised mother to givo mo Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Tho first two boxes made mo much better. I kept on taking them until I had finished five boxes—then I was in better health than ever I had been'in my life." Remember, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are for any complaint that a good supply of rich red blood will cure, but you must have the genuino kind.

All old man who was before the Magistrates at Kingston-on-Thames for having been unable to pay the license for an old friend, a dog, was by iho sympathetic Bench fined tho nominal penalty of half-a-crown.

A steamer left Galveston for northern ports carrying a cargo of four tons of livo rattlesnakes, destined eventually to form attractions at various museums, menageries, and circuses in tho Northern States. Tho rattlers, which are all young, havo been bred on the snake farms for which Texas is noted, a booui being experienced in the trado this year, owing to the fact that tho past winter, for some reason or other, proved peculiarly fatal to exhibition reptiles. The " balloon party " is said to havo arrived, and there aro hostesses who boast tho possession of a tame balloon. Beyond these two facts very littlo transpires, except an occasional exhibition of skill by tho non-pro-fossional " expert" which is extreme!}' trying to witness, and altogether an over-rated excuse for leaving nine-tenths of tile guests to spend tho afternoon quarrelling over croquet hoops, or attempting to revive their ardour for lawn, tonnis.-r-" Lady's Pictorial."
