A SPLENDID INVESTMENT. WHAT A PEW SHILLINGS DID FOR A PERTH MAN.

Early in the present decade there was living in Melbourne a member of that sturdy race that makes its way to every corner of the earth. George nelson was his name, his birthplace the "land of brown heath and shaggy wood." Mr. Kelson was a member of a Rechabite lodge, and an such he was entitled to the benefits accruing to its members. For many months he was on the sick, list, and, as he conceived, a burden to his fellow members. They, however, loyally stood by him, and after months of medical trteatmemfc for biliousness and chrortic headache,, accompanied by daily recurring fits of vomiting, his lodge sent him on a trip to his mother country in search of health. But unavailingly, for^Mr. Nelson returned no better in health than when he had departed twelve montiis previously. Again the i man's conscience urged him to relieve his fellows of the burden that he felt himself to ' be, and his strict views of right and wrong prompted him to resign his membership, --r.' IS'elson is now a citisup of Berth, where, as senior member oi the firm^ of Nelson, Moir and Co., he carries on, at William and Aberdeen streets, the business of genaral contractors, builders and- carpenters, combining therewith the work of crushing horse feed,' etc. , for the trade. One of our reporters having heard something of Mr. Nelson's prolonged ailment, followed by a sudden recovery of healtb, waited upon him with a view to obtaining some enlightenment as to the treatment he had undergone. "For years," said Mr. Nelson, m reply to our reporter, "I have suffered from biliousness in such a form as to make my life a, misery*. - Constant headacke and morning vomiting kept me in a condition that made existence wretched. I took medicines as prescribed by medical men, and mixtures sold by chemists, without benefit." "Have you never tried patent medicines, Mr. Nelson?" "Well, one or two ; but I'm prejudiced against patent medicines. I won't say lam prejudiced, but I was till lately. Seeing Bile Beans so widely advertised as a remedy for the complaint which was torturing me, I ventured to try a box. The first' box 'gave me relief such as J hadn't known for years, seeing which ] continued, the treatment until 1 had used a number of boxes, and was absolutely cured." There was a note of triunrph ii) his voice as he said that. "All the same/ continued Mr. Nelson, "I always keep a box handy, and if the old symptoms should show a bign of recurring, I am prepared for them. "Have you recommended the /(remedy to any of your friends, Mr. Nelson?" "You bet," was 'the emphatic reply. "More than that. Not knowing that Bile Beans vrere to be had in any part of the world, I bought several boxes, and have sent them to my friends in Scotland. I will be pleased to let you know the results when I hear from them," he added. "Presumabty, then, Mr. Nelson, you don't think you made a bad investment when you bought those three boxes of the BeaneV" "I made the bdst investment of my life when I bought them. Why, work is a pleasure to me now. I hope that the publication of the results in my case will result in others being benefited as I have been ; and I may add that I shall always be ready to afford information to those who have buffered as I have, in the hope that they, like me, may obtain a relief that is wholly due to the use of Bile Beans." \ The testimony of men of strict integrity is valuable to the public as a guar- \ antee of the benefits of such a remedy as Bile Beans ; aiid ih the interests of those of the public w^ho have suffered like Mr. I Nelson has^we give publicity to the above i fact's."

I was advised to use Nurse Woodward's Syrup), which I did, and am at present using. I have obtained the greatest benefit and can most safely recommend it to anyone suffering from the same complaints.
