£20.000 WOULD NOT TEMPT HIM.

A DIAMOND DIGGERS REMARKABLB SIATEMENr IN SOUfH AFRICA. HE CONFIRMS HIS ASSERTIONS BEFORE A J P. One of oar representatives, whilst on a yield to Klmberley recently, had an interesting interview with Mr H, C. T. Fischer, of that) town, which may be of interest to our readers, Mr Fischer for years was a gold digger, pzospeotor, and diamond digger in and nronnd Klmberley. Naturally daring all these years Mr Fischer had been leading a lift) of hardBhlp and exposnre, Often for days at a time he was web to the ekiu, and he bao on more than one occasion been without) food or shelter of any kind. 11l la not to be wondered at, therefore, that Mr Fiecher at loot fell a prey to rheumatism, and that terrible malady, when it had entered his Bystem, took bo ntrong a hold on him as to make bis life one long period of mliery. Dr, ffilliams's Pink Pills, however, have now thoroughly cared him, as will be seen from the following statement which Mr Fioher, for the benefit of bia suffering fellowcreatureo, and nut of gratitude for the marvollons benefits he has received from the medicine, mF.de to oar representative : — " Ie is now about ten year* ago since I first began to suffer. At first the rheumatißm used to nffllat me for only a few weeks at a time and then would leave me, bnt whenever I got wet I woa always certain of ap attack. The dlsoase gradually got worse and worse, nntll in 1895, when I was living Id Klerkadorp, I was taken very badly with it, and was compelled to give np work. I oonsnlted doctors and wed. every conceivable medlolne, bat still I got worso and worse. I became so bad that I could not bear to be touched, and so terribly weak was I that 1 oonld not even lifb myself in the bed to take refreshments, bat had to be gently raised and then lowered again, Every movement) gave me Intense agony. The pain extended through my arms, shoulders, spine, tblgbs, Knees, and snides, In faot, I was one mais of pafn. So bad was I that I often ueed to shoot with agony. My bead constantly ached, I oonld neither oat nor sleep, and when from exhaustion I did fall Into a Ao»e, I never lost the terrible pain, and roy dreams, weru honlble, Yon can imagine how bad I was when my wife had conotantly to attend me, and con Id never leave the house. I cannot think it poeeiblo that any man can over have Buffered more than I did. If anyone offered me £20,000 to go through the same agony again that I experienced daring those eight months I would say, 'No, keep your money, I prefer to be as I am. 1 At last, after con* salting any number of doctors and using all the medicines possible to think of, a friend of mine, Mr Wilhelm Krnger, who is a farmer living at Klerkadorp district, recommended me to try Dr. Willlams's Pink PUIb, as they had thoroughly cured him. I took bla advice, and am now reaping the benefit of It. The first box of the Pills, although it by no means on red me, made me feel so mnoh better that I oonld get about on orutohea, and I therefore decided to continue the remedy. The second bos had a marvellous effeot. I was able to throw my orutohea away, bat as I still felt a little ehsky on the legs I nied a stick to get about with. To make the oare positively certain I took a few more boxes of Pills, and after their use I was able to get abont ao it I had never been ill. Since then I have never had a day's lllnesa, and although I have been oat In all aorta of weather, and have been soaked to the ekln many and many a time, 1 have never bad the slightest; retarn of the rheumatism." When asked by our representative whether be was absolutely certain that it was Dr, Willlams's Pink Pille that cured him and nothing else, Mr Fisoher replied, "I am certain thab it was the pills alone that saved my life, and not only have they cared me bnt they have been of marvellons benefit to my little daughter aleo, She is eleven years old, and used to be troubled with rheumatism terribly. She could not walk, and her head tronblfid her a great deal. She could also neither eat nor sleep, bnt used to He in bed crying with pain. When Dr. Willlsmss Pink Pills oared me I determined that I would use them for her also. Tho result is that now she is as well and strong as a child ooald be, and plays all day long as happy and blight as possible." Mr Fisoher's declaration before D. J. Faarhoff, Esq., J.P., M.L.A. : I, Henry Charles Thomas Fleoher, of Thompson-street, Klmberley, solemnly and sincerely declare that the statements contained abovo concerning the miraculous manner in whloh I was enred of cbronie rheumatism by Dr. Wlliiam»'s Pink Pills for Pale People are the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing bat the Truth. I have given the account) of my ease freely and at my own request, hoping thai by making the faota known other (Dffjrers may benefit by my exrjerlenoe. H. C. T. Fischer. Deolared at Klmberley the 2ho day of January, 1897, Before me, D. J. Haahhoff, J.P. Dr. Willlams's Pli.k Fills create new blood, build ap the nerves, and thus drive disease from tbe system.
