CHERISHED BELONGINGS.

" That velvet sachet contains a number I of letters written me by my old schoolmate—dear little Alice ! TouTl remember her ? I wonder where she is now ? And this fine old gold chain—well, my sweet mother gave me that on my sixteenth birthday, and, naturally, when I look at: 2 it, my mind travels back many years.” t The letters and chain were two items in I the effects of Mrs Barry, who was showing f them to her dearest friend. , . c The scene is now changed. In this in- £ stance, Mrs Lardelli is just running through her belongings, and gazes with i eyes full of affection upon a little wooden t box. She lives at 162, Dowling street, c Syney, and will tell you that the box once i contained the famous specific, Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which 1 raised her from a condition of severe 1 suffering to health and happiness. ■ Mrs Lardelli, a fine handsome woman of about 35 years of age, said to a ] reporter of the Balmain Observer, who i called upon her to get particulars of an illness through which she had just passed, : “I am quite well now, and don’t think I . ever enjoyed better health—thanks to Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People; but I was very bad indeed. The first start of my illness was loss of appetite, and as I also began to feel a bit low in spirits occasionally, and also was growing rather pale, I went to a chemist. ‘ Why,’ he said, * you’re amende,’ and he showed me in the looking-glass how white my gums were getting, also the bad colour of the inside of my eyelids. He said, ‘ You want a strong tonic,’ and he gave me one. However, I continued to get paler and more sioklylooking, my appetite grew gradually less end less till I felt I hardly oared whether I ate anything or not, and when I did manage to get a little food down, it seemed to stick like a hard lump on my chest, I was losing flesh rapidly, and was growing so weak that I could hardly get out of bed in the mornings, and when X did do a little work it knocked me up completely, and I had to go and lie down on the bed to recover. At last everything became a trouble to me, and I got into a low, hopeless sort of state, and hardly cared'what became of me. Nearly all the time I had suffered from a peculiar dull pain in my back, so I made an effort and went to another chemist and asked him what this pain meant. He told me my liver was out of order, and he gave me some pills and medicine; but these did me no good at all. Altogether, I suppose I must have tried a dozen different kinds of medicine without any good effect. You have no ' idea what a wretched state I was in by this time. I used to lie down all day on the sofa, hardly able to move anything but my eyes. However, I could read, and it was because of an account of a remarkable cure that I saw in the Daily Telegraph that I decided to try Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People. X sent my daughter for a box. In less than a week’s time there was a great difference, I can assure you. My friends congratulated me on a change ' for the better in my appearance. I continued the pills, and very soon I was able to do a little work again. My appetite came back, and a slight tinge of colour appeared in my cheeks. I got slowly, but surely, better every day, and in about two months’ time was completely cured, and felt as brisk and lively . as a girl of 18. As I have said before, Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People did this for m© when lots of other medicines ’ failed to do me any good at all, and I shall always recommend them to my friends. I give my full permission to the Dr Williams’ Medicine Company to publish the facts of pay cure wherever and whenever they may think fit. , " E. LARDELLI.” The genuine Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two j inches in length, each of which is encircled by a blue warning label. The outside wrapper has the full name. Dr Wil--1 Hams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 16s 9d. These pills are not a purgative, [ and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate. As a spring medicine Dr Williams’ Pink i Pills far surpass all other remedies. Their action on the blood and nerves is prompt, and the effect is wonderful. Lassitude gives way to a feeling of renewed energy, and the lurking seeds of disease, resulting from the indoor confinement of the winter 1 months, are sppedily expelled from the system. These Pills are sold only in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the full trade mark, "Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” A pill, even if coloured pink, offered in any other form, is a fraudulent imitation, and should be promptly refused. Buyers will project themselves against imposition by bearing this in mind.
