THE KEENNESS OF COMPETITION.

'■ :. A GRBBNiGiROCER'S COMPLAINfT. ; ' " Competition is 16. keen' in'our,,neighbour- I hood," said Mr John Burgess, of 58 Fry street, \! Darlington, Sydney, to one of our reporters recently," that'unless I can drive my horee and curt around I lose my customer*, :.;«s'--th'ey'<■ will, not come to my shop.". Mr-Burgess,';ifc mast be explained, is a Well-known: jregngrocer in the locality mentioned. -"This being so," ;be continued, "when I was a hopelessly bedridden cripple my business decreased extenV '■■■ sively. I was suffering severely from iciatica, combined with hip-joint disease. But for 0r Williams' Pink Pills I ihould still be-in. b^^.i I have been »n invalid for over nine year*. l>he cause of mj great sufferings was being thrown' out of a cab whilst going to Botany, ;.the aeci-, dent, being due to the defective state <if'the; .tramway^line.' ' Falling on my side I, aeripjasly* injured.my hip. 1 became an inmate'of Prince. Alfred Hospital for six monthe, and Was at last discharged as incurable. Since then 1 have had no less than three different doctors,- apd they v all said my caoe wai hopeless; the last.doctbr.: who,attended me stated that he-did? not wish to visit me any longer, :ri at' it was simplytaking money out of my pocket -to pat" into \ his, without boiag able to afford me the '^slightest relief. Sciatica thsn set in,: ,wifcb.i its, attendant agonisiDg paim, first in the hip, and•then it appeared to shoot to "the.calf of-.the' leg and to the foot. 1 had no desire ia^i\ood\'. sleep was a mattwr of sheer impossibility, and instead of gettibg better 1 grew gradpilly wtjrse. [ I could pot move without the aid of jcr'ntohss, I and'l was'forced to take to my bed. -Ail » j, drowning man clutches at a straw, I trie£ all i sorts! of patent medicinei and apociße»l'; 1 j might as well hare kept the money ;1n my pocket, for none of thea did ma the slightest good./ I feared I wai a cripple for life and hopelessly bedridden. Heli«f, however, reached meat the elevejnth hour, and in the: most, un-, expected manner. A lady, residing in this neighbourhood, "induced me bo try DrWillisms' Piuli P'illb fo'r; Pale People-. I must "confess ; l regarded her advice as a forlorn' hope,, but jt. waH a fortunate' and happy day whep, I commenced tp;*take;:theie pilUj' for: froni thefirib box I commenced to steadily improve. After seven boxes of Dr Williame^.Pink Pills'! w"a«able to get up:and dress,.and after the eighth box to go to market' with my horse and cart,and afterwards serve my customers. When a] man can conscientiously utate that .this wonder-, ful recovery is due entirely to DrWilliains', PiDk Pills, it should silence sceptics and iudnca. other gufferers who endure the torments that I. did to give this wonderful preparation a fair and honest trial, as I can truly state "it has'guc« ceeded in putting me on my legs again." . _; A remarkable efficacy in curiog diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system1; such' :as. rheumatism, neuralgia, partial .paralysis, lbcomotor : ataxiaj St. Vitun' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the .tirud feeling therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue ' fever, and severe , colds, disease depending on humours in. the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c, ,ii possessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale .■People, which give a healthy glow to pale and' Eallow complexions. Ttiey are a specific for the troubles peculiar to theft-male sy«tem, and in men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, and excesses ' of any nature. They are sold by all chemists and by the Oi .' Willums': Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, who will forward (post paid), on receipt ofi»tamps or postorder, one box. for 3s, or half • dozen for 16s 9(J.—Advt. " ' '
