A CHANNEL ISLANDS BOY.

STARTS BUSINESS IN ASHBURTON. '■; From the rugged coasts of the . Channel Is-. lands to the smiling luxuriance of New Zea- ' ...,;■ land is a far cry, but there is a man amongst -.■:■ I us, a Mr. F. B. Robilliard, who has travelled : 1 the distance and become one of us (says a I Ohristchurch paper). From Mr. RobilliardY, S own lips we obtain the following: — | "I was born," said he, in Guernsey, one of i the Channel Islands, and came out to Christ- | church when a boy. Sixteen months ago [ I settled in Ashburton, commencing business | in-East-street as a watchmaker and jeweller. I A Channel Islands boy generally has a strong constitution, and until a year ago I did not r know what ill-health meant.-' But possibly V l through overwork I became run down. In- ; ; j digestion set in, and then debility. After j meals there was a terrible tightness across \ my chest, and I felt dull and drowsy, and ■ suffered greatly from pain in the small of my i back. Although I tried '":-. many alleged | remedies, none of them benefited me, and ! I became such a sufferer from the pains of indigestion that I dared not eat a proper meal; thus I naturally grew weaker. Then ..-■,;■ j I read in the papers how Dr. Williams' pink ; pills had cured many dyspeptics. I purchased " a supply and began taking them. After the V.' first box my appetite improved a little, and the pains after meals were not so severe. V;..';! Another box completely cured me. Every symptom of debility, and indigestion has dis- . appeared, and I never! felt better in my life ■= than I do now." By restoring tone to the digestive organs and enabling them to extract. nourishment - from the food taken Dr. Williams' pink pills restored Mr. Robilliard to good: health: Being ; a nerve tome and blood-builder they cure paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, sciatica, anaemia,, scrofula, eczema, rickets, ; consumption of the bowels and lungs,. pale - and sallow complexions, V heart palpitation, early decay, hysteria, etc. ; Sold by chemists . . and storekeepers and by the Dr. Williams' .. Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. , "How to Cure Indigestion;" write for. -:jM special free instructions. IS
