LAUNDRY WORKERS’ DANGERS

. moro than ono occasion wo have given publicity to correspondence pointing out tho hardships various workers suffer, but until now the drawbacks associated with laundry work have gained no prominenoe. In. a recent interview, however, with Mrs Louisa Silver, of 117 Harrington Street, Hobart, she gave 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 has to go out into 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

hack near tho kidneys, which prevented me from sleeping. My body felt sore and tender and the softest of beds seemed hard. Gradually I became so weakened that at times I could hardly crawl, and I always felt worn out and depiessed. I was said to be suffering from kidney troubles, but medical treatment failed to cure me.”

“Apparently something else did,” said the interviewer, who could not but notice the active and healthy appearance of the lady he was interviewing. “Yes,” she said, “1 one day resolved to try a course of Dr. Williams’s pink pills, because I felt suro the testimonials printed about 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 more took a pleasure in life. My daughter, who was anaemic, has also used Dr. Williams’s 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’s pink pills is because nearly every disorder arises from impure or impoverished blood or nervous troubles, or both combined. Dr. Williams’s pink pills are so constituted that every dose enriches the blood and helps to tone up the nerves. When persevered with they cure anaemia, debility, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, consumption, bronchitis, effects of influenza and fever, skin diseases, blood poisoning, ladies’ ailments, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and the Dr. Williams’s Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Men suffering from nervous weakness will find in these pills a means of restoration to vigorous manhood.
