INTERVIEWING A NAVVY.

I have interviewed men and women in most • stations of life (writes a clever pressman), but so far I had not bearded the railway navvy, who v has under his special care the j ■;■'.' three thousand mile's of shining rails that branch out from Sydney to the far interior. But a very fine type of man I found him. ; sturdy and strong, straight-spoken and not without education. lie was working on the line at Murrburrah, a township twenty ■■-.- mils from Young, and his name is Thomas Cushon. Asked about his work, he said: — "For the past twenty years I have been ■ employed on the New South Wales railways, so I know something of the hardships of the life." ■ • - .-.'.. '" "Judging by your appearance," said the interviewer, glancing at the bright, bronzed faco before him, "one wouldn't think that tho hardships troubled you much." "They don't now, but they did once," * was the reply, " for some time ago, owing to . the hard work and plain living, my blood became impure and thin. Indigestion troubled mo considerably, my skin became covered ■ with scales, and then ulcers broke out on \- my legs and thighs, causing intense burn- •• ing pains. Itching piles also gave me great agony. Owing to these ailments I had. to ~ : leave work frequently, ror the friction of • my clothes on my skin caused almost un- . bearable pain. I could. not sleep at night and my existence in the hot weather was ' very miserable. I tried a lot of supposed ' remedies without being cured, and then I was told that Dr. Williams' pink pills were , the best blood-purifier in the world, so I „ : ' bought a few boxes and began taking their contents. As I did so my complaints gradually disappeared. Tho piles were less - trou- : blesome, and at last I became quite free • from them. I continued taking Dr. Wil- " liams' pink pills until cured, and since then I havo been strong and healthy. I am so much stronger and happier now that I feel quite ten years.younger than before."
