BY DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOE

PALE PEOPLE.

HIS STATEMENT TAKEN ON OATH.

Towards the end of 1896, Me Terry (a hero of the Crimean War), now 66 year* of age, was taken very iIJ, and his frieuos knew that that awful disease Consumption had him in its fearful grasp, and prompt and effective remedial measures were an absolute necessity. An effective remedy teas, discovered in Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and Mr Terry enjoys perfect health and is once more hale *nd hearty. To a reporter of the Australian Military Gazette Mr Terry gave the following account of his illness aud marvellous cure:

"I arrived in Australia in the latter end of 1877 in H.M.S. Sapphire, the Hon. Captain Merry. I then joined the Diamond, under. Captain Dale, on this station, and on leaving the ship quitted the service for good, having in all served in 17 ships in Her Maje»tr'« Royal Navy. ...In August .of this year (1896) I found myself at Emu Plains, being ■in tha employ of Messrs M'Grath, fellmongers. It was whilst there that I was taken ill, towards the latter end of August. I attributed my illness to exposure. My first symptoms were coughing, a spitting of blood, and a bloody ' discharge from the kidneys of the consistency of jelly. One man there was particularly kind to' me, and constantly stayed up with me all night, giviDg me eucalyptus to inhale, aud continuously rubbing it into my chest, throat, and stomach. The man said be didn't think I'd last long if I stayed at Emu Plains, and advised me to go into a hospital. Feeling that he was like a true prophet, I followed his advice, came to Sydney, and took up my abode at 485 Kent street, where lam still living. On my arrival ia Sydney I suffered from great pains in the back and siues, and also under the ribs. I conld take no solid food, and entirely subsisted on eggs and new lailk. I went to consult a doctor, whose rooms I could have reached under ordinary circumstances in 10 minutes,, but was so horribly weak that it took me an hour, and 10 minutes to get there. He told me to Btrip, which I. did, snd he then Bounded me and asked me how long I had been bad. I told him that from the first it was about eight weeks, upon which he said, *J It's chronic." He suggested that I should go to a hospital at once, but I declined and returned home. I had medicine prescribed for me of various kinds, which proved quite ineffectual and afforded me no relief whatever. I took rid less than seven bottles of eucalyetus, and even chlorodyne was prescribed for me. I fell away lamsut&bly, perspired profusely, and could hot obfcaiu any sleep. I:was in such pain that I c^uld not shift in bed. My right side was much the worse, and my breathing was most laboured snd painful. Friends would call and atay with Hie for three or four hoars at a time. One of them read to me the account of Boilermaker Jarvis's wonderful recovery by taking Dr William*' Pink Pills, and I at'once procured • bo£. I had taken all but two when the bieodspitting and emission ceased. After.twobores '■■". 1 was able to get up and walk about, and now, at the end of six boxes,-the cure was almost complete. The cure was MAGICAL, and I tell all my friends and the general public that nothing but Dr Williams' Pink Pills brought me before them to advocate the temperance question, and on each occasion I have met with a. great reception. [Mr Terry here called our reporter's attention to the amount of useless physic he had consumed, and, indeed, the amount of ' bottles reminded one of the interior of a .chemist's shop.] I can speak in the highest possible terms of the marvellous curative properties of the Pink PiUs. On my visits to and lectures in the country I shall consider it my duty to suffering hupianity to recount my astounding cure, and I trust I may be the means of saving tie life of many a despairing mortal.
