SENSATION AT MAKARETO.

A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE.

There is little, if any, exaggeration in all that has been written and said of late about the hard times experienced as the result of a succession of bad seasons, tightness nf the money market, etc. We find a few slicrt years have brought about an evolution as unappreciated as unexpected. "In the good old days," we are told, "one could not help mating money; everything turned to gold. But now that times are so bad, and what was the rule formerly is the exception, it comes as a relief and pleasure to hear of a successful venture. It was therefore '.nth a keen taste for the work that our reporter, catching the interest centred in Mr. Angus Bergerson's good fortune, hastened to pay that gentleman a call at his residenco_ at Makarotu. It was at once evident that Mr. Bergerson was delighted at the change in his life which tie last few months had wrought, for, as ho said, " nothing will please me better than to give you the information you want. You must know, in order to quite understand how fully I appreciate the happy turn affaire have taken, that I have had many hardships to face during my life. For the last twelve months I have been made miserable by my inability to find relief from sciatica; the shooting pains ran right along my hips, down the back of my thighs, and into my knees. During the whole of this timo I set myself the task of endeavouring to find a cure for my sufferings." "Will you describe them ?" . "Well, if you had plunged hot needles into my flesh I could riot have experienced greater pain than this ailment inflicted upon mo. My spine seemed to lose its vigour and strength, and ached without ceasing. It was whilst shearing in October, 1897, that I was first troubled, and no doubt the exposure and hard work made me an easy prey. Later on, insomnia set in, and what with tho want of sleep, the agony of the sciatic pains, and the weary feeling occasioned by a weak bark I was reduced to a pitiable condition It was in this miserable stato that 1 oxisted for over 12 months. This brings me to November of last year, and a happy month it was fcr me, for it was then that my attention was drawn to Dr. Williams' pink pills. Notwithstanding frequent failures with ctncr remedies I gave them a trial, regarding the outlay of money necessary for purchasing them, quite as a speculation. It was a venture and failure with other remedies had made me regard it as such, but that one Sir, emphatically said Mr. Bergerson, " was the most successful venture of any I have ever made. _ I soon found that thoro was something in these pills admirably suited to mv ease, and I continued with them until [ had used in all three boxes. Even the first bej greatly benefited me; I began to sleep better, and tho pains gradually decreased. Aly spine is now stiff and straight, and I am a stalwart and happy man, free ftom every trace of sciatica or weakness." " No doubt.your friends and acquaintances have congratulated you upon your return to health r

"They have indeed; but I must tell you before you go that my wife lias tried Dr. Williams pink pills, and they have proved of very great benefit to her also. I shall always continue to recommend them as strongly as possible, for I have found them to bo a sterling success when all else was a failure.' " Such is the case," said our correspondent in conclusion, " which has created a sensation in Makaretu."
