CHAT WITH MISS HOLBEIN, In view of the popularity enjoyed by descriptive vocalists, a chat in which t Miss Ida Holbein told of her experiences 3 1 is sure to _be interesting. When seen x at her residence, 3, Victoria Parade. 3 Melbourne, Miss Holbein disclaimed anv s pretention to popularity, but certain it f is that her appearance behind the foot--1 lights is al wavs a signal for applause. ; “You ha vo had a number of successful l tours, wo believe,” said tho interviewer. I “I think I can say that,” said the arr 1 tist. “I have been with Mr Harry Rick- | lards’ Companies at the Tivoli. Sydney; . I with the Cogill Bros., Messrs York and Jones, and others.” j

i F "How did your tour in West Austra- . lia result ?” , “Very satisfactorily as far as professional success went. I filled a seven months’ engagement there, but during [ portion of tho time I was incapacitated. • Typhoid was very prevalent and I seemed s ; to be contracting it. Burning pains in , I the back of the bead and in the limbs, t ' and fearful throbbing Headaches and _; feverishness, made my life miserable. ’ I Then great prostration came on, and I ’) became too weak to exert myself. Di- . j gestive troubles occurred, and I became 1 1 terribly despondent, for despite skilled " i medical treatment. 1 feared the dreaded J fever would overcome me. At last I was " so weak that I felt I was dying. At this ; juncture my friends advised me to try : Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people. ' A supply was procured, and after taking • a few doses, I felt a little better. One : box improved me greatly. In two weeks ! a rosy colour came into my pale cheeks, > and everyone said I looked much better. ■ By continuing the pills’ for another fortF night I regained excellent health, and m ‘ all fear of the fever was passed.” F Miss Holbein was rescued from typhoid fever by Dr. Williams’ pink pills because 1 they made new blood for her, and'so en- ■ abled her to throw off tho disease. In , the same way they cure anaemia, debilii ty, eczema, scrofula, consumption, la- • dies’ ailments, etc. By retoning the 3 nerves, they cure St. Vitus’ dance, neu--3 ralgia, paralysis, nervous exhaustion, 1 etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, j and by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., s Wellington, three shillings per box, six . boxes sixteen and six, post free.
