A FAIR CRITERION.

] Since the days of Eve the acquisition of pen feci; health.and beauty of form hss been the desideratum of -every ; woman. Ninon "da I'Baalos, the celebrated French beauty, attributed her health *nd beauty of form to the cure which she bestowed upon her toilette. ■ Id these later days Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have come to be regarded as an indispeneable adjunct to a lady's dre«sing-table, and to those safferiug from the many ailments peculiar to her sex. In support of the statement, we append the.case of Mies May Dickenson,. who was miraculously cured of arery bbstiaate c*6e of aaiemia. - "

Mies May pickenion was bom. at Soldier's Hill, Ballarat, Victoria, some'lß years ago, and lived there up to three year* since, when her family removed to Tasmania, her father having purchased a selection on the i< S«veD." Shortly after her arrival in the tight little isltnd, Mi« Dickenson oommenced to experience Very *uni certain health, which, as time went on", showed no improvement, and caused her parents considerable anxiety. Medical advice was sought, and various tonics advised and taken; but without any noticeable result..; In the early part of_ the year a change of air was advised, and Miss Dickenson came back .to Victoria, with a hope that her native air would succeed when1" doctors' medicine"had failed. ■•'-■•'

Having come relations in Essex street,-Bal-larat East, Misi. Dickensoa took up her :residen'ce with them. Still she continued unwell, and again medical advice had; to be obtained. Unable: to take solid nourishment, she lo*fc flesh to such an extent ts to make it a labour to undertake any exertion. Nothing ig mer« weakening than antemia, or poorness of blood; Energy departs and leaves listlessness to fill its place, the blood goes from one's lips and tongue, and a terrible pallor, ghastly'to behold, is the result. ; •'.-■..•.

"Could yon not seek any nonrishaient ?" afked our representative who met Miss Dickenaon at her aunt's, Newry street, North Fitzroy. . ■

"Well, a little, but most of ifc refused to st»y. I had pains in my back, »nd had to sleep on my side." ; ■-..- : .

"Did you gee any medical men in Melbourne?" , :"-.;."■ :.-.': .■ ■• .

".Yes, one, who said I was overgrowing niy strength, and gave me a tonic; in spite of all sdvics and medicine, nothing would stay ou my stomach. One day I was in a ohemist'6 in Brunswick street getting a. prescription made up, and the dUpenser asked me if I bad Buffeted much. Oq my replying in tbe affirmative, he said, 'Why don't yon try Dr Williams' Pink Pills ?' Somehow that took a hold onxne, and I purchased a box, and commenced to t»!t€ tbem instead of my physic." " Did you receive benefit? "

"Yts; shortly after I commenced to takk them, I experienced a vast improvement, and within a few days I ate my first substantial meal for 18 months. In a week I gained 6ib in weight, and I kept on improving until three weeks since, when I felt justified in discontinuing them, having taken seven boxes. 3' • " And you consider yourself fully cured ?" " Undoubtedly ; and I can imagine the surprise my. friends will receive when I return to :ny parents next month."

Ojmplimenting Miss Dickenson, on her very «jv:nsnt robust health, our repreientative res The action of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pais People is directly on the blood, and thus it in tnftb they are sa famous for the cure of anaemia' a;.

They ar« sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams' Medicine Company, N Z at 3s a bor. or six for 15s 9d, but are genuine only with lull name on each bor. - See that your chemist gives you Br Williams' and he does not substitute something jußt as good when making your purchases.
