PROSPECTOR’S GREAT DISCOVERY.

The published fact that the gold-won from the Rueftou mines now amounts to £20,000,000 has drawn public attention to the discoverer of tho field— Mr James Kelly.

In speaking of tho grim times of Maori attacks and massacres t when no man's life was sale except he had his rifle by his side, Mr Kelly tells a vivid talo of his own life. “I have prospected through Victoria and Queensland, as well us in Maori land,” said ho. “Tho roughest times i ever had were at Forbes, on tho Lachlan River, in N.S.W., and at Colling-,rood and Ileefton lierc. I worked continually hi water, even in tho worst of weather Indeed, to toll the truth, none of my Colliugwood or Reeftou friends would seo mo about to-day hut for Mr Williams’ pink pills, for N.S.W. and New Zealand hardships had bo told upon me that an attack of rheumatism took mo off my feet. Terrific, gnawing jimns crippled mo. 1 could not oven got about, and work was fjuito beyond me. Nothing lessened tho terrible, burning pains or loosened my drawu-np muscles. I didn’t know at that time that rheumatism was a disease of tho blood, and tiiat it could bo cured only through tho blood. The agonips of cramp gripped mo, ami the rheumatism gave mo no peace' day or night. One day I read -in cither tho Wellington Tost’ or the Christchurch ‘Lyttelton Times’ how Dr Williams’, pink pills cured rheumatism, not by basing the pains for a short lime, hut by rooting tho rheumatic acid poison osit of 'the blood for good. 1 scut for sonic of the pills; and was careful to get the kind made for Now Zealand—those put up m wooden boxes. I would have nothing to do with pink pills in glass bottles. Well,' I got the right N.Z. kind, and half a boxful cased the pains a little. Two more boxes freed mo from every pain and ache, and made mo a strong, active man again. "You can imagine how surprised I was at tho quick cure—but. you sea, these pills strike right at the, cause of the-troublo in the blood. They're-the most wonderful medicine i ever tried for keeping the blood right and building you up. I know plenty of Colliugwood, Reeftou, Hokitika and Wellington people that they have cured.” i)r Williams’ pink pills enrich the blond and brace up tbo nerves. _ They actually make new blood—and this now blood sharpens the appetite, supports tiio spine, strengthens tho stomach, stimulates the liver, soothes tho nerves, cleanses the kidneys, braces the muscles, brightens tho energies, and makes every part of your body strong, healthy ami active. Plenty of people in all the districts of North ami South Islands, from .Auckland to Otago, can tell how Dr Williams’ pink pills have cured them of indigestion, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism', sciatica, and paralysis by building up the blood ami bracing up the nerve's. In this way they euro" all blood and nervous diseases like anaemia, paleness, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, scrofula, debility. backache, kidney disease and the secret tort-ires that women often endure in silence because they do not know tho priceless value to women of the same pills that cured the crippling rheumatism of Air .Tamos Kelly, of Col-lini-vrood, the Reefton pioneer. Since tho above was written, tho Goldfields and '.lines Committee have recommended that Mr Kelly ho paid a sum each year for his discovery in connection with tho Reeftou goldfields.
