SETTLER'S MISERABLE LIFE.
Notwithstanding the hardships which all settlers have to face, the extreme misery which, until recently, marked the life of a Mr W. R. Taylor—it Lyttelton settlermade an interview with him most instructive. To a reporter who called upon him at his residence, in St David Street, he said : " I am fifty-six years of age, and came out fifty years ago in the " Charlotte Jane," from Norwich. After travelling for some years in Australia, I settled here. But the hard living and indifferent food told upon me, and I became, subject to chronic indigestion. The symptoms were pain in the stomach, fulness after meals, flatulency, heartburn, and extreme weakness. On several occasions I received medical treatment, but without- permanently good effect. My life was made miserable, and for days together I partially starved rather,., than take a full meal and face the'consequences. As-my daughter recommended Dr Williams' pink pills, I began taking them. Alter a few doses I felt a little benefited, and one box made great improvement. Four boxes cured me. My health now is splendid. I can eat almost anything, and am quite strong and active."- Miss Taylor, when questioned, said :—"I was pale, thin and and anaume for four years. 1 tried many tonics, but. they were ineffectual. Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people testored me io health and strength." By enriching the blood, and enabling it to absorb and make use of the nourishment in the food, Dr Williams' pink pills remove anaemia .and the cause of indigestion. These pills are praised by all classes for the way thev have cured paralysis..locomotor-ataxia, rheumatism, fciatica, debility, neuralgia, rickets, skin diseases, ladies' ailments, etc. Sold by chemists and .storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes six- ■ teen and six, post, free.."
