THE TERRORS OF SOLITUDE.
A story from Temuka, Canterbury, shows how, undor certain circumstances, a brave woman may become painfully alarmed if left iu solitude too long. The lady in question, Mrs Mary Anderson, of Main street, Temuka. (says a reporter), is certainly not of an hysterical nature. She is fifty years of age, a native of Hertfordshire, England, and has lived iu Now Zealand for twenty-four years. "It was about three years ago," she explained, "that I began to understand what terror there is in solitude for a woman. Certainly at that time my nerves were all un-' strung, and I was subject to the sharp, shooting pains of neuralgia, especially round tho heart. Tho attacks were periodical, and the, pains seemed to dart, from the heart right up into the head. My life was miserable. I lost my appetite, fell away in flesh, could not sleep properly for the pain, and thus grew weaker as time went on. At last my nerves became so deranged that I absolutely feared to stay alone. I always wanted someone to be near me." "Did you try chango of airP" said the reporter. " Yes," replied Mrs Anderson. V After medical treatment I went away on the doctor's advice, but the result was not satisfactory. About eight months ago I heard that Dr Williams's pink pills were of value in nervous disorders, so I began taking them. After using two boxes the neuralgic pains entirely left me, and I have not had the slightest return since. My nerves have been toned up and my whole constitution so built up, that I feel strong and robust. I am now in perfect health, and solitude has no terrors for me. My daughter has likewise benefited by Dr Williams's pink pills, so that we both recommend them on every possible occasion." Iu all nervous disorders, such as neuralgia, hysteria, St. Vitus's dance, nervous headaches, insomnia, etc., Dr'Williams's pink pills are invaluable, because they restore the wasted nerve tissue and induce perfect health. By also enriching the blood they cure rheumatism, liver and kidney trouble, dyspepsia, diarrhojaj anreniia, debility, skin diseases, blood poisoning, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, and they ward off and cure the effects of influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, fevers, and measles. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams's Medicine Co., Wei-' lington, three shillings, six boxes sixteen and sis, post free. Write for pamphlet of guaranteed cures.—[Advt.]
