DYING OF STARVATION.

TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN BLENHEIM.

A distressing tale surrounded by extraordinary circumstances has been unfolded '0 » special reporter by Charles D. Rodders, pr;n tei, residing in Alfred-street, Blenheim. Mr. Rodgers, who is well known in athletic circles, and is esteemed by all the neighbours for miles around, said : — "To look at me now you would scarcely believe that comparatively a short time ago I almost died of starvation. Owing to the confined nature of my work as a printer mv system became thoroughly run down, my blcod thin, and I could not digest my food after meals. I suffered from terrible pain' -'1 tightness across my chest, flatulence, and nausea. No nourishment wss derived from what I ate, and I grew thin and depressed; sathei than suffer the tortures after eating I practically starved myself. A doctor prcscrih->-.1, but his medicines did not seem to beneft. Then a friend whom Dr. Williams' pink pill; had cured of biliousness recommended f ncir.. I purchased a supply, and even afte. a few doses found relief By continuing them the pain and tightness across my chest disappeared, I retrained my appetite, and no pains followed after meals. Four boxes restored me to perfect health. 1 have now sunn a splendid appetite that there is no fear of me over dying of stravation while food is obtainable." There is a vicious circle in disease. Debility leads to indigestion, and indigestion can cause debility. If we feed and onrich the blood—for which Dr. Williams' pink pills are especially famed check the indigestion, enable ourselves to get the full benefit from our food, and avoid or cure indigestion, sluggish liver, biliousness, debility, St. Vitus' dance, neuralgia, paralysis, etc. Dr. Williams' pink pills are sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medictno Co., Wellington, three shillings per box. six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
