A FATALITY AVERTED.

1'". ' .-'...'"• -; ; Even the busy seaport of Onehuuga- had' f its curiosity aroused recently, says our ; special reporter, by an occurrence of more than usual interest. Making inquiries- '. found that the central figure of the event.:

Miss Druscilla Cunningham, resided in Sel- ' wyn'-street. This lady promptly gave tin information asked for, but suggested she should couple with it some events of the last few years. ".• \ ."■'Miss Cunningham, was born in Onehunga. and is eighteen years of age. "My life hai been, marked by -considerable trouble," saic she, "for when quite a child I began to suffer from weakness of the chest. Two yean ago a severe attack of bronchitis came on, and this induced consumption. I perspired greatly at night, and when I awoke in the morning I was almost too weak to rrove.. I lose my appetite, and as a result grew ./' considerably thinner. A persistent and hacking cough troubled me greatly, and sometimes;'! brought up traces of blood. I was attended by efficient doctors and treated with great care for six months, but my .: ailment was described as galloping consump- r * tion, and I was told thai my case was hopeless. Although greatly emaciated and often almost prostrated I lingered on, drying many • so-called remedies without perr anent bene-' fit." "You apparently did not g'.-e up hope,' Miss Cunningham." " " No," said the lady, " I did not. .One ' _-' day, whilst reading in the newspaper, I aw " , < Dr. Williams' pink pills ' for pale people advertised.; The advertisement- bore the impress of truth, and I decided to try these pills. It was not uatil I had finished the • second box that improvement was noticeable The contents of another box greatly strong-' thened me, and. by continuing them for some time I became free from every'symptom of consumption. Since then I have been in really excellent health. lam confident that Dr. Williams' pink pills art solely responsible for my recovery." Every case of consumption pronounced by doctors incurable with ordinary medicine, is not beyond hope if Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, which are not ordinary ' medioine, are used. They ■ have cured many cases by restoring. the lost blood and. increasing the resistant power of the lungs. When they cure vital diseases like consumption it is not surprising that by enriching the blood and toning up the ; nerves they cure rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, bronchitis,. influenza's effects, skin diseases, St. Vitus' dance, rickets, etc. ■■'■•, Even .paralysis|;t|| and locomotor ataxia yield tc the genuine-; pills, which always bear the full name, Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, in red ink on pink-tinted wrapper. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Substitutes never cure, and should be avoided.
