CRIPPLED jIND CU® Leonard 'Wills, of Pahiatua, Dying with Diseased Bones, dured After Doctors Failed. Dr. Williams' i-ink Pills. Leonard Lionel Wills is the oight-year-old son of Albert Stanley Wills, a farmer of iVhtigitainoka, a few miles tmt 6f I'iliii'tna. This boy's iifo lias just been saved by Dr Williams' Pink l'ills in a way that is nothing short of a miracle. Sirs Minnie Wills,- lua mothor; gircs the history of tho case in words that carry on their faco the stamp of earnestness and truth, 'l'ho faqts aro known to tho doctor and all tho neighbours, aiicl Anyone .is frco to test their simple truth for hiiiiseif. ! "Threo years ago, when Leonard Lionel was Only live, lid got fovdi'ish, ami 1 thought lie te sickening (or ilio moaslft," Mrs Wills began. "Ho sotJii g&t worse, and beforo thb week was but tve had to. call in a, doctor. By that timo tho child was doliribiis and quite oiit of his mind with tho fetor. The doctor biotight the. fever down, but wlieu Lionel camo back (o his. semes 110 complained about his shoulder being sore. If I happened to take hold of his arm he would scream with the pain. Jlr Wills thou noticed that his shoulder was a litilo swollen and inflamed. Sooii it got • a nasty angry look, and the child, cried every time I touched it. I sent word to the doctor, and lie caino again to examine him. He then said that Leonard had inflammation on the shoulder blade, and lie ordered me to poultice it to draw out tlio inflailiination. "I did this, and it brought tho whole thing to a head. It was Sir awful sight, and the doctor made tip his mind to operate on it. He then lanced it under the armpit, aiul the poisonous matter poured out of the wotind. The doctor said that he hail iiever seen such a discharge of lius in his life. That wound never healed, though I Used to wash it out overy day with antiseptics. It got worse and worse, till it was jjist like a gangrene eating, into his flesh. The poor little fellow was just worn oiit with pain. Every day he got thinner and weaker, and his face was as liale as Death. " Before long an ulcer formed on the top part of his arm, and then the doctor said that Leonard's bones were diseased. That turned out to be only too true. The ulcer got bigger and deeper. Before many days a piece of bone began to work out of the sore. It was as green as grass, and all oaten away by tho poison in his blood. After that, little pieces of rotting bone kept working out of tho sore overy few days. Soon afterwards a smail pimple formed on the outside of his ankle. This spread, and then broke. It formed into a running sore, and pieces of hone started to come from it, too. When the doctor saw that he said Leonard must go into tho Hospital at once. Nothing could save him unless his bones were scraped. If'they didn't, got rid of the disease this way. tho poison would work all through his system. The doctor said there was no time to lose. If it wasn't done at onco it would soon be too lato to save his life. But it was a terrible operation, and Mr . Wills and I holh felt (hat Leonard could never live through it. . "From that, time the child got rapidly worse." added Mrs Wills. "110 Iwcame a complete cripple. He lay there in his bed, dav after day, wrapped in wadding. 110 couldn't bear the bed clothes or even his night, shirt to touch him. I worried my heart out over hiin. for I felt Jhnt I had taken his life m""iny own lianas when I would not let the doctor take him to •tho Hospital. "It was just at this time that I read how Dr Williams' Pink Pills had cured a little girl in Queensland suffering just tho same way from diseased bones. That put fresh hope into me, and iUr Wilts said we would write to the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, and ask them a straight question—whether T)r Williams' Pink Pills would euro Leonard or not? With the letter wo sent several pieces of bono that had worked out of the' open ulcers in his shoulder and ankle. In reply they told us of three other cases of rho kind that'Dr Williams' Pink Pills had cured. So we sent for a supply, and decided to give them a fair trial. " A few weeks after starting Dr Williams' Pink Pills wc noticed that Leonard was always hungry. Soon lie began to grow strong, and there wasn't nearly so much pus coming from the sores. He Rot so much better that we had a special go-cart mails to wheel him about in the open-air. Little by little the sores pealed tin. All this timo lie v.'W getting so much stronger and latter t!:at. he wis soon able to get lip and walk. But it was slow work, and we had to keep giving him Dr Williams' Pink Pills every day for 12 moiirhs. By that time there was hardly a. mark on his ankle, and only a few pits on his arm and shoulder where the diseased bone worked its way out. To-day he is as strong and well a? any hoy of his age. He can run like a har« and orack a whip with any of his brothers. To this day the doctor always asks about Leonard, and says that ho can hardly believe tlinfc he is running about again. But is is 18 mouths now sinee he was cured—so I know ho is cured for good. His father and I say it is n downright miracle." When Dr Williams' Pink Pills saved Leonard Wills after doctors said he could not possibly lie cured without an operation it is jio wonder lhat they can cure so easily little ailments like i.niemia. indigestion. biliousness, headaches, backache, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness, and the secret blood trcnhle= of women and growing girls. Dr Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, hut they do it well—they actually makJ-; new bloccl. But the blood is the root of all health. -If yen are in doubt about your own case write for free medical advice to tho Dr Williams' iledieine Company, Wellington. From that address you 'can also order by mail the genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills—3s a box, six boxes 16s 6ct, post frco.
