A LITTLE HEROINE.

The anxieties which agitate parents : whsu their children are out of sight are sufficiently-nerve-shaking, but the dangers that the little ones > may fall ■ into, .' even under, the ; eyes ; of' the ;most devoted mothers, -must be watched for ' as : earnestly. ""' : ' -'': ' '* .-. ■ ' ' An instance; illustrating the truth of these remarks came *to the," notice of : a Mail contributor, who called to verify the details. " Ethel Jones is a . little ?■ girl nearly four years old whose parents live at Enfield;: near Oamara. Mrs Jones was':at home when' I paid ' my visit," writes;" the pressman, " and was pleased to talk about her little girl. I tell the facts in her : own words: — -.-.:;,-.;;..' '. "'Well,' began, '.' when Ethel was; six months old she became exceedingly! ill, pro-" bably through teething, and, later on,: congestion of the lungs set in, and, afterwards, consumption of the bowels. A leading doctor was consulted; and subsequently another medical - man, but baby was only given four months to live. An' operation: was advised,' but my husband and I shrank from the idea. Ethel was so low, weak, and emaciated that she could not even move. ; She suffered ter-, ribly fnom stomach pains, and,, although frequently poulticed, : she could: not /> sleep. Night after night we■ sat up with. her. /She was like this when a pamphlet came to the door which showed that Dr. Williams' pink -..pills had - cured '- many '-■." suffering children. So we purchased i- some for Ethel, \ and gave them : according • to ; . the directions wrapped round the box. When she had taken the contents of .two boxes we saw she was regaining her health and; strength; the pains, lessened, ■ and she was ; able to sleep, and, r by persevering with Dr. Williams' pink pills she became cured. Now she is in perfect health, and plays about happily ail day. long. Dr. Williams' ; pink pills saved baby's - life.' At that moment little Ethel came running up —a beautiful picture .of good health ■ and childish, beauty.''.-.' -■",'; , ' ''•■'■:. ■';-•' , : - .Children*, "suffer' from nutrition {inability to ] obtain benefit - from food), and ; from many ailments which afflict ; grown-up people. What will" remove ; the causes of. disease in an adult will do as; much for children:"- Dr. Williams' pink pills are a perfectly safe' medicine . for children,' taken as J. directed. Rickets, weakness, and failure to "'get/ on" yield \rith remarkable promptitude- to this medicine,; ? : which >is sold by chemists and; storekeepers' and the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.i • Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. /Letters to the above address, describing the sufferings of children or adults, will be confidentially dealt 'with, and the writers will be' told whether '■then© pills have been used with benefit in such cases or not.
