are better acquainted than Mr Dan Barry, the popular actor-manager of the Alexandra Theatre. Melbourne. Recently one of our representatives paid a visit to him at his office, and he courteously granted a request for a fe<v minutes’ conversation. “ My life has been a varied one,” said Mr Barry, and there aro but few cities and towns in Australia that I have not visited. A. theatrical manager has much to do mentally, and as a result I commenced to feel the strain some two years ago. Frequently I felt, mentally and physically, quite exhausted. I was also affected with neuralgia in the head, which often seriously interfered with my duties. At night my sleep was restless and of no recuperative benefit, and my illness commenced to tell on me so seriously that X consulted a medical man. He told me that my system had run down, and that X wanted a tonic. He gave me some pretty extensive medical advice which developed into a large-sized bill. I would not have had any objection, to the bill had I received any benefit; but I had pot; so I tried a second medical man, with result than the consoling that my evident state of debility and %ant of tone required me to take an extefljive rest. This rest was, of coarse, an inrjg ieibilhy. Noticing my indisposition, a fessional suggested I should try Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. I followed his advice, and purchased a supply. After using these pills for six weeks I found myself free from all signs of debility and its attendant ills.
