IS CONSUMPTION CURABLE. INTERESTING MEDICAL OPINION. In his valuable medical dictionary Dr. F. R. Walters, M.D., commenting upon consumption, makes some remarks particularly applicable to Australia, where this disease is of lrequent; occurrence. He says: " Consumption or phthisis is a disorder of the lungs and other portions of the body which causes loss of flesh. It has long been one of the most dreaded diseases of this country, and still is the cause of about onefifth of the total deaths every year. Formerly regarded as incurable it is now frequently arrested or even cured by suitable treatment." In support of this, the interesting case (now well-known to the medical world) of F. W. Byrnes, of Toolern, Melton (Vic.), may be cited. lie displayed, according to his medical attendants, all the usual diagnostic signs of the disease in its most aggravated formpersistent cough and spitting, shortness of breath, pains in the" chest and shoulders, loss of flesh and strength, feverish attacks, copious perspiration in the early morning, loss of appetite, and digestive disorders. The disease also affected his hip so that he could not use one leg. No expense was spared and many physicians were consulted. Ultimately he was removed to the Melbourne Hospital, where, some of our leading surgeons being in attendance, a difficult operation was performed upon the diseased hip. But .after the operation the specialists found Byrnes to be quite incurable by ordinary medical treatment, and they recommended hie removal to the Austin Hospital for Incurables, remarking that his death was merely a matter of time. Byrnes preferred to die in his own home, and ho was taken to Toolern. One day it was thought that his last hour had arrived. The clergyman was sent for, but the patient lingered for several days. Then his relatives were advised by a neighbour to use Dr. Willi pink pills for him, and they did so. Marvellous as it may seem, these pills, though taken when all hope had been abandoned, appeared to do him good. He felt improvement after using one box, and two more boxes gave him some strength. From then on he steadily gained ground, and to the astonishment of everyone began to pull up strength until he was actually able to leave bed. After that his progress, thanks to Dr. Williams* pink pills, was rapid, and he is to-day perfectly well. He takes part in shooting and rabbiting excursions, and his skill as a marksman is unequalled. Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people made him a strong, powerful man, free from every trace of that dread disease, consumption. They are the prescription of a highly-quali-fied Edinburgh University physician, and act upon the cause of consumption and disease generally, not on the signs and symptoms. Thus they cure bronchitis, rheumatism, dysentery, insomnia, chronic headaches, nervous exhaustion, irregularities, anaemia, dyspepsia, effects of influenza, fevers, excesses, etc..
