TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT HOBART. THE PATIENT SENT OVER TO SYDNEY HOSPITAL. Advices to hand convey the news of a terrible accident having befallen a well-known and highly-esteemed resident of Hobart. The unfortunate sufferer has, as the result of her mishap, been afflicted. with locomotor ataxia, an affliction that has in the past baffled the skill of the ablest physicians, and been pronounced by them as incurable. Mrs Nellie Denver, who now resides at Countess Cottage, Double Bay (Sydney), -was kind enough to grant an interview to our reporter, who called to investigate her case, and narrated her experience as follows : “About six years ago, when residing in Hobart, _ Tasmania, I had the misfortune to meet with a serious accident, which I subsequently discovered had seriously injured my spine, although, strange to say, I felt no illeffects for about two years after. I then commenced to suffer from great weakness and dizziness and an intolerable feeling of exhaustion. I did not seek medical attendance at first, but when I at last became aware of my serious condition I was persuaded by my friends to go to the Sydney Hospital, where I remained two months without receiving any permanent benefit. On leaving the hospital I again rather neglected my state of health, and on applying for readmission was informed that my case was perfectly hopeless. I obtained admission to the Newington Asylum, where I remained seven months; yet still I got no better, being unable to swallow any nourishing food. I then took two courses of electric baths, for which I paid six guineas, and with the exception of some alleviation of my suffering I cannot say that they did me much good; in fact I could not even walk, so I imagined that there was no cure in store for me. One day, on reading the daily paper, I noticed an account of a marvellous recovery effected by Dr Williams’s Pink Pills for Pale People, and, considering that this case (the one of Boilermaker Jarvis, suffering from locomotor ataxia) closely resembled mine, I determined to make a trial of them. I experienced relief after the first box, and have •steadily improved ever since; my appetite returned, and I ceased to suffer from that terrible feeling of nervousness. I am now in my seventh box, and can confidently assert that I am most decidedly improved in health. My friends also noticed a marked improvement in my condition, and this I entirely attribute to the health-giving properties of Dr Williams’s Pink Pills; in fact, it must be solely due to them, for I have tried no other remedy. The proprietors of Dr Williams’s Pink Pills are at perfect liberty to make whatever use they may think fit of this statement, for I feel deeply grateful for the benefit I have derived from them. Dr Williams’s Pink Pills cure rheumatism, neuralgia, locomotor ataxy, St. Vitus’s dance, nervous headache, and prostration, diseases of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health, are a specific for all the troubles peculiar to the female sex, and in men cure all cases arising from worry, overwork, or excesses. They are sold by all chemists and storekeepers generally, or the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., will forward, on receipt of stamps or P.O. order, one box for 3a or half-dozen for 15s 9J, postage paid. Dr Williams’s Pink Pills for Pale People are only genuine when put up in round wood boxes (about the size of a shilling), with name in full. Dr Williams’s Pink Pills for Pale People is on the wrapper. They are never sold in bulk or by the hundred.—[Advt.] PUBLIC NOTICES. SMITH AND SMITH.
