SETTLER'S DAUGHTER IN DANGER.
A pressman who purposely called at tfta homestead of Mr Gruhl—a settler residing at Parnaroo, near Terowie (S.A.) —had the goodl i forfcuno to hear from his daughter's lips an' account of her narrow escape from death. With charming frankness, Miss Aiifonia Gruhl stated:—"l am' 19 years of age, and! my life passed happily and uneventfully until two years ago. I then became a victim to anosmia, I gTew thin and weak; my face became pale and wretched-looking, and some-' times I went off in a dead faint, for the slightest excitement caused me to lose con- ; sciousness.

Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, • six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
