DROVER’S STRANGE BED.

Jolm limit, of Hastings, has henn fomng since 1881, ErmyS X knoirs him admits that he canhaS a horse and a mob of catt-Io mtUe r- “j** BsrStS 11 s ; lias ridden hundreds of milS to iobbl. chaS a»d .St pots, and many a mishap has anded f element of romance and adventure S STto Sn'- P f h^ P l.P m best stoy ~® has is about hi 3 strange bed feTnS ’, 3U f .Terns ago, “J*y back in the Winter 0 f Hunt to an old mend wno stopped to have a yarn with him the other day, ‘Vlien I was SS ™ nd Hawke’s Hay, I fmmd thL f canid not reach shelter before night so I had to camp ait without much comfort. I made myself a bed of ferns and was soon fast asleep, I was so tired out and glad of a rest, that I d,H notice the fefns were wet. Next morning. However, I found that 1 was crip, pled with sciatica, which kept mo on the rack for nearly twenty years, until ¥ cured by Dr, Williams’ pink pills lust the other day. Pains like red hot needles used to dart through my legs and loins. For days at a time 1 could not leave my bed, or even sit up. Mv muscles were drawn, and my nerves were raw with pain. Sometimes for "vreeks X could .iusfc hobble about, with a stick, and then another attack would lay me low, I tell yon,” he added, “X paid pretty dearly for a few hours’ sleep on that bed of wet ferns.” ‘Hid yon give pip droving thenl” ‘Well,”_ answered Mr Hunt, “I had to leave it off for weeks together for X was often too stiff and crippled to throw my leg over my Horse. Every movement was like the stab of a knife. 5* °ctor treated me and blistered me and dosed me with medicines, but no ordinary treatment could euro me- Then my friend, Mr Hobson, of Gisborne, advised me to try Dr. Williams’ pink pills. X managed to hobble up to Eccles’ pharmacy and bought a box. Before 1 had used five boxes I was cored. That was nearly three years ago, and I haven’t said much about my cure till now, because I wanted to make quite sm-e'thafc it._was permanent.” •

, Tb© life of exposure and hardship led by drovers and other ant-door workers in New Zealand makes Dr- Williams’ pink pills absolutely necessary for their health—but of course they must make quite certain that they get the pills made in Wellington, from tlie special formula suited to the New Zealand climate. Drover Hunt, of Hastings, suffered from sciatica, which is a nerve disorder, caused by bad blood. He was cured because he soothed his nerves, enriched his blood and. built up his entire system with Dr. Williams’ pink pills made in Wellington. If he had taken substitutes put up in glass bottles he would still be suffering the agonies caused by that fern bed. If your dealer won’t givo you the genuine kind, put up in wooden boxes with the full address, Wellington, New Zealand, on the outside wrapper, they can be obtained by writing direct to the Dr. Williams’ medicine eo., Wellington, at three shillings per box, or six boxes sixteen and six, post free. They are the pills which have worked such wonders amongst the sick and ailing in. New Zealand. By striking at the root of disease they have cured the most stubborn cases of anaemia, headaches, indigestion, nervousness, neuralgia, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, paralysis and decline. . They could not possibly have done this unless they were made according to the special New Zealand formula. This is why you must insist on seeing that the outside wrapper bears the full, genuine address, Wellington, New Zealand. Accept no others at any price. Get the kind that cored Mr John Hunt, of Hastings, Mrs T. Bynch, of Riverstone, Mr W. Brooks, of, Geraldine, Mr O. Wtmsch, of Normanby, Mr R. Clucas, of Oxford, and hundreds of others throughout Maoriland.
