GOVERNMENT HOUSE MUSICIAN

MR A. MANVERS’ CASE. Mr Albert Manvers has gained an enviable reputation as a high-class banjoist, and his pupils embrace the elite 1 of society. At the Government House (Vic.) garden parties and elsewhere his instrument is almost indispensable. Mr Manvers had just completed a masterly selection when a press representative questioned him as to his skill. "I have had ratheir a strange career, 1 ’ said he. “I am an American and in. my early youth I served in the Indian campaign, being severely wounded and invalided. I had to earn my living and being especially fond ot music I took to my favourite instrument, the banjo. But the after-effects of the exposure and the wound I had received remained with me!, and at times interfered with my plaving. Fifteen years ago I came to Australia, hoping vainly that change of air would improve me. Doctors told me my blood was out of order, but prescriptions proved useless. Kidney troubles caused me great pain, and liver complications rendered it impossible for me to apply myself to mv profession, and at times I had to break engagements. My old wound pained me greatly , and I had to take, to bed. After being laid up tor some weeks my attention was directed to the good effects following Dr. Williams’ pink pills, and I tried them. The first two boxes did not appear to bcnc.fi - ma much, but with the fourth box the improvement became noticeable; after using a, few more boxes I grew quite well and strong. The liver and kidney troubles have gone, and i suffer no pain from my old wound/’ ' Mr Manvers’ blood was so vitiated that serious disorders were induced, but Dr. Williams’ pink pills, by enrolling and increasing the l blood supply, removed roe foundations of disease. In the same way they cure anaemia, debility, faintness, dizziness, paralysis, consumption, rheumatism, sciatica, dyspepsia, etc. bold by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box six boxes sixteen and six, post free, and by chemists and storekeepers—jßut mind you ask for Dr. Williams’. Mr Manvers resides at in, Henry street, Northcote, Vic.
