A HILSBOROUGH HEROINE.

Few ladies in New Zealand deserve better of their fellow-colonists than Mrs J. Agnew, of Hillsborough, near Qnehunga, Auckland. Some, ladies do not scruple to address a meeting in public, in the cause of religion or progeress, and no matter wliat- opponents to this practice argue, nothing can gainsay the fact

that these lady-advocates are working thoroughly and sincerely in their different causes. Mrs Agnew is well known in Hillsborough and surrounding districts for her kindliness of heart ancl disposition. and is natural/,' popular. Whenever she can give assistance she ungrudgingly does so. This being known, it will be a matter of no surprise that she lias written a letter for press publication, solely in the endeavour to alleviate suffering. She says that for some yearsshe was completely prostrated with sciatica in her back and legs, and later on it affected her arms. Hot, nipping pains racked her frame with intense agony, ancl so debilitated was she. that for more than a year she was even unable to make her own bed. Every movement produced excruciating pain, nor could sue even pu.lll the bed clothes on lop of lier. Even her right arm became paralysed in one night, and later on her left leg, from the hip joint to the knee, was similarly affected. Mr Agnew, with kind solicitude, bought everything that appeared might he uesful in alleviating Iris wife's ease. Among other things electric belts were tried, one of which cost £6 6s, and the other £2 16s, but even these gave Mrs Agnew no permanent relief. Liniments were also equally ineffective. Then a neighbour induced Mrs Agnew to try Dr Williams! Pink Pills for Pale People. The first box did not appear to benefit her very greatly, but by tho time she had finished the second box she describes the change as truly wonderful. Her back became strengthened, and her blood enriched. With the enriching of the blood ancl the toning up of the nerves, the sciatic pains lessened, and before long they faded quite away. Then, also, from having new, rich blood in her body, her formerly paralysed arm became capable of movement, and the use of her thigh was also restored to her. Now. she is. in every way, in the best of

health, compatibly, of course, with her age, for. although her heart is as warm as ever, Mrs Agnew is not quite as young as she once was. Still she is now quite relieved of all her pain, and has the perfect use of all her limbs. In her letter she says : "Please publish iny testimony for tire sake of other poor sufferers. I am sure Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, with God's blessing, have saved my life.” Many others in all parts of New Zealand, and, indeed, all over the world write in from time to time tolling us liow they have been cured by this miracle of modern medicine, which also cures rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago, pleurisy, pheumonia, bronchitis, coughs and colds, influenza, indigestion, all ladies’ ailments, loss of vital strength, debiliity.
