SENSATION IN A TOWNSHIP.

The little-township of Toolern. (Vic.), says the “ Melbourne Sportsman,” has been>. throws into a state of considerable exciter merit by a sensation, the innocent cause of which is a young man, resident in the township. ! It appears from particulars obtained by the reporter despatched to investigate thematter, that the excitement is not an everyday one. “It is true,” «aid William Frederick Byrnes, when interviewed, “ that I have provided the township with a sensation. It was this way. About two years ago I found myself unable to cany on rab-bit-trapping and shooting, owing to an affection, of the right hip and galloping consumption of the lungs. Many doctors were consulted, but, despite their skill, I did not recover. At last I was taken to the Melbourne Hospital—-a perfect skeleton, with a. hacking cough racking my frame. The nurses thought I had,only a few days to live. Au operation ,was performed on my hip, but without the result hoped for, and the doctors said they could do no more forme, and that my early decease was certain. My family, expecting me to die, removed me home. A little later, some Dr Williams’ pink pills for pale people were purchased for me. In a fortnight I had used three boxes, and felt considerably stronger.. I continued taking the pills, and it soon became apparent, I was recovering. Eight boxes completely cured me. Now Igo about camping for days at a time, rabbittrapping and shooting at will. My recovery has created a- sensation throughout the district, for everyone expected I would be dead long before this,” ,< The ravages of consumption are not incurable .at every stage. Nor is every case pronouheed by doctors incurable by ordinary medicine beyond hope, if Dr Williams’ pink pills, which are not ordinary medicine, aroused. They have cured many cases by replacing the lost blood, and increasing the resisting power of the lungs. By enriching the blood, they also cure amentia, debility, rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, dyspepsia etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six -boxes .sixteen and six,.upst free.
