LAUNDRY WORKERS' DANGERS.

Ok -more than one occasion we have given publicity to correspondence pointing, out the hardships various workers suffer, but until now the drawbacks associated with laundry work have'gained no prominence. In a recent interview, however, with Mrs. Louisa Silver, of 117, Harrington-street, Hobart, she gavfr some valuable 'information concerning ; her experiences. -,- : " For a number of years I have undertaken a good deal of laundry work (she said). Speaking of : its drawbacks, perhaps the chief is, that after getting heated over steaming coppers and tubs one lias to go out - into ~s the cold air and hang out the clothes. This " sudden change of temperature affects the strongest of us and I found that after a time my health suffered considerably. I became subject to flushes of heat followed by . severe chills. Later on I suffered from - severe stabbing pains in the' back near the ~ : kidneys,' which prevented me from i sleeping. My body felt sore and tender and th»» . softest of beds seemed hard. .- Gradually I - becamo so weakened that at, times I could : hardly crawl, and I always felt worn- out • and depressed. I was said to be suffering from kidney troubles, but medical treatment failed to cure inc.". " Apparently something else did," said the interviewer, who could not but notice th« active and healthy appearance, of the lady ■ he was interviewing. - -

" Yes,'.' she said, " I one day resolved to try a course of Dr. Williams' pink pills, because I felt sure the testimonial printedabout them were • true. I began taking, them and soon -a gradual;::improvement set in. When I had used seven boxes the agonising - , pain, in my back had left me, my colour had; improved,. and I was so strengthened that I. worked about actively and once mora took a pleasure in life. My daughter whe was anaemic, has also used Dr. \\ lLiams , • pink pills and they have restored her ; appetite and. strengthened her in what I consider a. wonderful way." The reason why almost all classes of disease are cured by Dr. 'Williams pink puis is because nearly every disorder arises from impure or ■ impoverished. blood troubles, or both combined. Dr. Williams pink pills are so constituted that every dose enriches the blood and helps toto " c up the nerves. When persevered' with they euro , anaemia, debility, neuralgia, sc'atica rheu- - matism, consumption, bronchitis, effects of influenza and fevers skin ok.. j poisoning, ladies ailments, etc. bold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. - liams Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, St free. O. Men suffering from,' nervous weakness will find in these pills a means of,, restoration to vigorous manhood. - . ; V • •' ~ ■! ' : ■*;.' f .r^*3
