LETTER FROM KRUGER.

MR W. F. REGAN, F.R.G.S., INTERVIEWED. . Mr W. F. Regan, F.R.G.S., the author of “Boer and Uitlander,” has for many years been closely connected with-Transvaal .business affairs, and possesses .large mining interests there. . ■ Interviewed by the' “London Daily Telegraph” at his offices, 41, Threadneedl© Street, London, Mr Regan .declared that before the war broke out mining operations were in a most prosperous ■ state. “You have been in correspondence direct with Kruger, have you niot?” was asked.

“Yes,” said Mr Regan, “I have, and I remember particularly one letter of kindly encouragement he sent trie. I am a hard worker, and during the South Africati mining boom in ’95, I worked for nineteen hours out of twenty-four each day. In ’96 the strain began to tell, and symptoms of weakness and debility appeared' ’At last I could not walk straight, and sometimes had to catch hold of a railing or turn into the nearest office for a few minutes. At ten o’clock in the morning I have been forced to hail a hansom in Cheapside, not being able to control my limbs, though my home was only 100 yards away. Throughout ’96 my illness continued, and though I never missed a day from business, fainting fits were frequent. Whilst in this condition I received in one day letters from the Right. Hon W. E. Gladstone, from President Kruger, and from his Majesty the King of Portugal. All three were letters of encouragexnent, but the day after that I took a relapse, and my mind became a blank. The locomotor ataxia had attacked my brains. I consulted four noted doctors without being cured, and I tried almost every medicine sold. A city friend one day brought, ina, dozen boxes of Dr Williams’ pink. pills, .and made me take a dose, and he came in' the. following day to see if I was taking thejn. Alter taking several boxes I was surprised to find myself considerably better, my bra-in clearer, and my limbs perfectly under, .control.' Now the locomotor ataxia has left mo altogether, and I work from eight in ' the morning until eight at night; without ill affect. I am as strong as ever, apd sleep soundly the moment I lay my head on the pillow. As a eui’e for locomotor ataxia nnd debility Dr Williams’ pink pills cannot be equalled.” . Mr Regan’s opinion is shared by eminent men and women in all'parts of, the world,_ as our testimonials show. Dr Williams’ pink pills cure locomotor ataxia by their tonic action on the blood and nerves. Thus they cure rheumatism, neuralgia, anaffliia, consumption, bronchitis, all skin and blood troubles, St Vitus’ dance, paralysis, vital losses, ladies’ xxilmente, etc. Sold by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Go., Wellington, three shillings per box, six.boxes sixteeir and six, jxo.st free, and by chemists and storekeepers—But mind you ask -for Dr 1 Williams’. Applicants will be supplied free "of charge with a copy of Mr Regan’s interview.
