COMPLEXIONS. NEW BOOK ON AUSTRALIA ATTACKS ITS WOMEN— THEY WALK WITH A WADDLE AND ARE WORN OUT AT THIRTY—A REPLY. The Sydney Sun's special London correspondent recently cabled that Mr. Jacomb, who claims to have had six years' residence in Mildura, South Australia, has published a book under the title of " God's Own Country," in which he attacks everything Australian. Even the women's complexions do not escape notice. He says Australian women have none; that they walk with a waddle and are worn out at thirty. The Australian press has shown a good deal of resentment of these criticisms, and not many agree with the author. In regard to complexions, a local authority says the Australian woman's is just as good as those of women who live in similar climates. It is pointed out that the tendency of long, hot summers is to make the blood thin, and a certain amount of sallowness, as well as a lack of snap and energy, result. New Zealand women, it is said, know how to deal with this condition, as will be noted in the remarks of Mrs. William Barr, 30, Broughton Street,, South Dimedin. " Some time ago," she says, "it seemed that my blood turned to- water. I had previously had a severe illness, and was very white, my lips and gums being bloodless. I wasted to a shadow and had to live on light foods; I could not take meat for it would not agree with me. I would have 'to take very little food at a time and at frequent intervals, for my strength was so low I would get so faint. 1 used to suffer terribly with headaches: they were of the nervous kind, and would take me right from the forehead to the back of the neck, and often would last all day. livery little bit of housework was a trial. I would be tired long before midday and thankful if I could let the housework go and sit down and rest. I never wanted to go outside the house, and I never wanted any visitors. My feet were like ice, and my whole body felt cold, too. My eyes had dark lines under them, and I would go faint and dizzy. The least noise would startle me ; my nerves were all unstrung, and I cculd not sleep well at night for this reason. My sister-in-law had been benefited bv taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to try them. The second box made me feel better, so I kept on. Three boxes of these pills thoroughly picked me up. I have been in the best of health since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People make the new blood that imparts the glow of health to pale, weak, sallow women and girls, and give the energy that makes life worth living. To save disappointment, refuse to take anything said to be just as good. They are 3s per box, six boxes 16s 6d, of all dealers, or from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington. Mt.
