THE KING'S ILLNESS:

AND : WHAT CAUSED IT. . 1 The illness of King Edward VII has interested the whole world, in that' mysterious' aiid fashionable disease—Appendicitis. No doubt his Majesty will now be asked to beconio an honorary patron of t the ; New York Appendicitis Club, whose members are all minus that troublesome and puzzling little organ which doctors call the ""Vermiform Appendix." When, the disease was first discovered, a few years ago, scientists . thought it was caused % a grape stone or some other hard substance, but later experience showed that this .was wrong. During the most critical stage of his Majesty's illness everyone turned to their doctors to loam tho tiuo source of the trouble. There was no doubt that, indigestion was the most usual and important cause, according to the leading modieal men in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin. and other centres—and therefore it was admitted.that Dr Williams' pink pills for palo people wore the 'best- preventative for Appendicitis known to Science. The prescription of these wondorfull pills was discovered'by'tl'ie distinguished graduate' of Edinburgh and they are prepared in Wellington from a formula Dartioulai'ly adapted to suit the Now Zealandclimate. Every one should insist on getting the genuine Wellington pills, which are packod in wooden boxes—not glass bottles/ Foreign substitutes have never cured a single case of indigestion or any other disease'in this colony—simply because they are not suited to the local conditions. Hundreds !of cases, however, 6tand to the credit, of' the genuine kind put up in wooden boxes with the' full address, Wellington, New i Zealand, printed in plain English on the outside wrapper. They are a never-failing cure for indigestion and the safest guarantee ■against Appendicitis. A case in point .is ; that of E. B. Eobilliard, the progressive iyouug' jeweller of Ashburton. > ".Tust after coming from Aehburton to Christehurch, three years ago," says Mr ftobilliard, " I became very run dov.n. My blood was poor and so indigestion attacked me. My appetite disappeared arid I grew <verjr weak. Always after a meal, something seemed to tighten across mv chest, and a nam stabbed me in the small of the I>ack. Doctors' medicines and patent medicines did mo 110 good. My case' seemed hopeless," continued Sir RobHliard, "tilt I tried Dr Williams' pink pills. The very .first boxfnl braced mo up, and after.the second I was as right as.rain. They simply filled me with new life and strength."

if Mv Eobilliaril bad relied on curing himself ..wifcli pm-ginE: pills or Spanish or American substitutes in-prlass bottles, Lis indigestion would; probably have developed into Appendicitis and ho would liavo had to submit to a surgeon. Dr /Williams' pink pills, made in Wellington, cure in a better way; • They purify the blood, brace up anil tone the nerves, build up the tissues, strengthen the muscles, and stimulate tha stomach, liver, kidneys, lungs, and' brain to perform their work in a healthy way. That is why they cure many apparently different diseases. They not only banish headaches. backaches, nervousness, irregularity and weakness, but they are the n)o3t positive cure for skin diseases, notiraloia, rheumatism, lumbago, and sciatica. _ They have actually cured eases of. raralysis and locomotor ataxia. By building ;nn the blood they. restore the old health and strength after fevprs, influenza, and pneumonia. Beware of pills in glass bottles with SpanWi directions. The words " Wellington. Xew Zealand." ho in red. on everv wranper. This is the kind that cured Mr "Robilliard, of East street, Asliburton.- • Aclvt.
