CRIPPLED N.Z. BOY NOW ACTIVE AND WELL.

SUFFERED FOR THREE YEARS. AND THOUGHT TO BE DYING. HIS BONES DECAYING THROUGH BAD BLOOD. BEST MEDICAL ! TREATMENT FAILED TO CURE HIM. OWES HIS LIFE TO DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. HIS MOTHER TESTIFIES TO THE PERMANENCY OF ms CURE. When young Leonard Wills, of Mangamaire, New Zealand, was cured ,some years ago by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, - when ho was thought to be dying, the whole neighborhood was interested in his case, and the question everyone asked was “Will he stay cured?” To-day his mother answers the question. There isn’t a more robust boy of his age in New Zealand. The hoy had contracted a form of b’oodpoiisoning which attacked his hones. He, was utterly unable to walk, and had to be wheeled about in a go-cart. For two years! he was a sufferer, and had to bo kept in, bed, wrapped in wadding. He was a: complete cripple. When the doctors failed to cure him, his mother, Mins Minnie Wills,, gave' him Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, and, to use her own words, “ Leonard can run like a hare, and can swing an axe or crack a whip with any of his brothers. His cure is certainly a miracle.'” His mother and grandparents made the following declaration in regard to his health since he was cured : I, Minnie Walls, widow, Mangamaire, New Zealand, do. solemnly, and sincerely declare thsti the attached testimonial, in reference to the cure by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills of my soai Leonard Lionel Wills, is true in every particular. That my said son is now 'jquite well, and has since the date of his cure by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills enjoyed excellent health, and shown no sign of a recurrence of his illness; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an AcJ, of the General Assembly of New Zealand intituled “ The Justice of the Peace Act-, 1882.” (Signed) MINNIE WILLS. Declared at Mangamaire this eighth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and eight, before me, R. SMITH, J.P. Mrs Wills made the following statement at the time of the boy’s cure : “ I thought Leonard was sickening for the measles,” said Mrs Wills. “We soon had to call in a doctor, and in less than a week he was delirious. We then noticed the lad complained about his shoulder being sore and painful. If w© happened to take hold of his right arm he would scream with pain. When, his shoulder was examined wo noticed that it was somewhat swollen and inflamed-looking, and very painful to touch. The doctor declared that the lad was suffering from inflammation of the shoulder-blade. We were ordered to apply hot fomentations and hot poultices to bring it to a head. The doctor then lanced the lad under the armpit, and said that he had never seen such a discharge of pus. The wound never properly healed. It formed into a gangrene ulcer, and kept up a continuous discharge. Other ulcers formed on the top part of the armpit. The doctor then declared that the bone was diseased, and shortly afterwards pieces of hone .as green as grass began to work out of the sores. Then a small pimple formed on the outside of the ankle. This also broke out and formed into a running sore. The doctor declared he must go into the hospital and have the bones scraped, and that if hj« didn’t have this done the disease would work all through his system and he would die. The Imy became a complete cripple, and had to be kept in bed wrapped in wadding, as he oould not bear clothing of any sort near his skin. We had a special go-cart made for him, when he was strong enough to leave bed, as he was utterly unable to walk; in fact, he was too weak to sit up, and we also had a special bed for him. Leonard had suffered two yeans when we decided to give Dr Williams’ Pink Pills a fcnal. Wo noticed in a few weeks after starting taking Dr Williams’ Pink Pills that his appetite was improving, and we were delighted to see him growing stronger. The discharge from , the sores grew less every day, and eventually healed right up. There is hardly' any mark cm his ankle, and. with the exception, of a few pits where the homo came a wav his arm &rxi shoulder ajo quite woll, Tho doctor often inquires how the lad is. He can run like a hare, and swing an axe or crack a whip with any of his brothers. His cm 'S certainly a miracle. Wp thought that wo would have lost him.” ‘ Mar.gatainoka, 7th April, 1908. We, the undersigned grandfather and grandmother of Leeward Lionel Wills, have had the above testimonial read to us, relating to Leonard Lionel Wills’ illness, and we hereby certify that the facts are not exaggerated. The cose might easily have been more strongly warded. There is no doubt in our minds that Dr Williams’ Pink Ms cured Leonard Lionel Wills, and be is now well and hearty, and quite as strong as any other boy. (Signed) w’. T. N. UPTON. JANE UPTON.
