A GIRL'S LIFE-TRAGEDY.

The tragedy of an Onehunga girl's ljfe, as told m detail by her to a reporter, affords a valuable lesson to all. The lady is Miss Drusctlla Cunningham, of Selwyn street, Onehunga. Upon being interrogated, she gave the following account: "I can very truly claim.'' said she, "that for my age—l am only eighteen—l nave passed through more troubles than most women. From my earliest years T was weakly and subject to heavy colds; so tl.at v \vhen two years ago I was attacked by bronchitis I was ill prepared to withstand it. I became very feverish, a continual cough racked my frame, my breathing was oppressed, my chest was exceedingly paiv.fui. I grew weak, thin, and pale, and exposure to changes of temperature caused violent fits sometimes bringing up hlnod. " You have had more than your share of tragedy," said the reporter. "But more was to come," said Miss Cunningham, "for the bronchitis brought on consumption. I grew weaker and more emaciated, and suffered from the usual symptoms of consumption. I was very, frail and despondent, when one day I read that Dr Williams's pink pills were able to euro consumption. Somehow, I seemed to believe in them—the testimonials seemed so true. And after taking two boxes of the pills I certainly felt better. I continued with them for some time longer, and was gradually restored to robust health. Now every symptom of bronchitis and consumption has gone, and I am stronger and happier than ever I was. I really cannot recommend Dr Williams's pink pills too highly." By replacing the lost blood and increasing the resistent power of the lungs, Dr Williams's pink pills have cured many cases of consumption- They so increase the patient's strength that he or she is enabled to rally from the weakness, and eventually to throw off consumption and other ailments. These pills have cured many cases of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago, effects of influenza and pneumonia, anosmia, debility, weak heart, skin diseases, St. Vitus's dance, paralysis, etc Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams's Medicine Company, Wellington, three shillings, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. They contain no poison, and cannot harm the most delicate child or lady.-CAdvt] ,
