BURNING ECZEMA.

ITCHING, OOZING SORES.' J. W. SHELLARD, OF GISBOBNE. BLOOD REEKING WITH POISON. SEVEN YEARS OF AGONY. DOCTORS COULDN'T CURE HIM. NO SKIN DISEASE NOW. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. ."There is- hardly anyone connectedtntt'v ' this church, from the minister down, that docs not know how I suffered from Eczema," said J. W. Shcllard, of the Church of England, Gisborne. "For seven long years I had this vile skin disease in its worst form. I was one mass of itching, burning sores from head to foot. At one time I was so had that I couldn't do a stroke of work for seven weeks at a stretch. Every spare penny I had went on drugs and doctors— not one of them did me any real good till I struck Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It took 16 boxes of them to cure mebut the 3' cured me for good, as you can see for yourself." Everyone in Gisborue knows Mr. Shellard as the honest old verger of the parish church. For 24 years he has lived there, respected by all. Among the old residents of Christchurch, Lyttelton, and Hokitika lie is known just as well and as favourably. Ho is a man who would never lend his name to any statement that was not true to the last •word. " My blood must have been in a horrible state to make the Eczema break out on me the way it did," said Mr. Shellard. "From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet I was on fire with it. Often I nearly went mad with the burning and itching. There wasn't an inch of my body that was not in agony with the sores. Every week I could feel a fresh lot of hard pimples pushing their way up through the skin. Then the skin cracked and the sores started to oozo and itch. I could not keep from scratching myself. Sometimes I felt that I could have torn my flesh to pieces. Half my body was covered with the dry scales of the old —and everywhere else there were new sores bursting and festering. All my skin was raw, and burning like fury. For seven weeks I could not show my face outside the house. "I don't think there was a single cure that I didn't try—but none of them did me any real good." Mr. Shellard went on to say. " Even sulphur would not drive the disease 1 out of my blood. As for patent soaps and ointments, the sores only thrived on them. , They got so bad that I called in one doctor after another, but the best of them could not cure me. I went to the Nuhaka Hot Springs, but when I came away the Eczema was woreo than ever. My whole health suffered. I couldn't cat and I couldn't sleep. I was nothing more than a wreck. In spite of doctors and medicines the Eczema kept-spread-ing. You never saw suph a horriblo sight as I was. Where the sores were fresh my flesh was all red and swollen. The itching nearly drove me frantic, till at last my nerves broke down. I grew thinner and "weaker every month. Life wasn't worth living when I had to face this agony day in and day out. "I had given up all hope before I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," added the. old verger. "I would never have spent another penny on medioine if I hadn't heard how they cured another case the very same as mine. Then I made up my mind to give them a fair trial, arid got half-a-dozen boxes. Before the first box was finished my appetite picked up. That showed that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were suited to my case. Every box after that helped me along. The burning and the itching wasn't half so bad. Little by little the -Eczema began to give way. The sores healed up and left a clean skin behind them. There was no fresh crop of pimples to break out. I was doing so well that I got another supply of Dr. Williams' ' Pink Pills. I kept on with them until my blood was just as healthy and my skin just as clean as any man could wish. It took 16 boxes to cure me," added Mr. Shellard, "but I have not had a single trace of Eczema from that day to this— it's clear that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured me for good." There could be no greater proof about the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood medicine.
