INJURED BY A "FOREST DEVIL." SETTLER'S STARTLING STORY.

Charles H. Gales, a Toongabbie, Vie, settler of over sixty years standing has (hays the Maffra Spectator) been the victim of a nasty accident which resulted somewhat seriously, "I was hard at work in, the clearing one day," said Mr. Gales, upon being interviewed,- "when the chain of the ' forest devil ' 1 was using suddenly snapped 1 I was knocked down by the rebound, and when I picked myself up I could feel that the muscles of my leg and loins were strained. A little later on I began to suffer from sharp, shooting pains and a continuous ache, which was worse when I raised my leg or stooped. Then I was placed under treatment for sciatica, but my muscles continued to contract and I was in such, agony that 1 had to give up work. A doctor examined me and prescribed, but as I grew no better I wrote to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Queen's-plnce, Sydney, giving full particulars of my erse and asked if, Dr. Williams' pink pills would cure me. They kindly gave me all necessary information and I began to lise the pills. After talcing two boxfuls I felt relieved. Tho pains lessened and I- could move my legs more freely. Three boxfuls completely cured me,',ond I was soon back to work again clearing as vigorously as ever. I parchased six boxes of Dr. Williams' pink pills, but the otior three- I gave to my brother, and they cured him of a skin j disease. My health is perfect now, and I regret I did not use Dr., Williams' pink pills at finjt and save expense." Sudden blows, nervous strain, injury to the nerves, or impoverished blood help to induce sciatica. Outward applications only give temporary relief. Dr. Williams' pink pills purify and enrich the blood, and thus cure man^ cases of Bdatica and rheumatism, anaamia, eciema, rickets, erysipelas, and consumption. They also cure paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, neuralgia, after effects of influenza and fevers. Sold bychemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
