PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT

The '‘Horsham Times” (Vic.) J describes a painful scene in the local ’Court. A case of some interest was in progress, and the witness in the box was being intently listened to, when suddenly it became evident that something was amiss with a juryman—a leading farmer of the district. The reporter in court (says the “Times”; will not soon forget the fearful look of agony on that man’s face. “On that day in court,” said tliei gentle* man in question—Mr Thomas Lawes, oi Greenland Dam, near Horsham —when chatting to our reporter, “I had my first attack of rheumatic on the pains became worse, and/'I was unable, to lift my right arm ; it/seomed paralysed with pain. For the next eight years I was a victim to this complaint, suffering more or less, but for seven or eight r weeks of eiach year I was in fearful agony, unable to sleep at night or move about in the day. My, joints . were swollen, stiff and tender ; every movement caused agony. My food/had to be .cut up for me, and I was’/a-s helpless aS a child. I consulted an'Experienced doctor, but despite his skill/"I did not recover. Then I used many advertised medicines without avail. At/last my wife persuaded m© to try Dr Williams 3 pink pills for pale people. After taking six -boke-3 the pains left me/ and my general health greatly improved.
