Doing A Day's Washing.

Of all the duties that fall to the lot of the housewife whose means do not permit of her indulgiug in the luxury of a paid'« help," perhaps the most cordially detested is " washing." But there are some people who make light of even this laborious task, as will be seen by the persual of our reporters' interview with Mrs Mary Brown, of 71 Simmons-Street Enmore :

" I have called, Mrs Brown," said our reporter, " to ascertain the truth of the rumor that has reached us of your having recently suffered from a severe attack of rheumatism." •• It is quite true, but I am happy to relate that I feel as well as I ever did. I have been suffering on a>sd off from rheumatism for the last five years, and the slightest change in the weather used to give me most awful twinges. It chiefly aft", cted my arms, und I can assure you sir. that it took ine all my time to do my hair. As to lilting this tub, that was a matter of sheer impossibility. 11 it had not been for some of my friends I could never have gotten through my household duties. This complaint app ared to affect- my entire system, and as to the money 1 have spent in doctors' advice and so-called remedies, why it makes me positively disgusted to think of. I began to think that if my sufferings continued life was not worth living. I remember one day, as I was sitting by the fire and eudeavoring to employ my mind upon something by reading the Evening News that an advertisement caught my eye headed " Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People " cures rheumatism, sciatica, &c." Now, having wasted so much money already. I was at first loth to try any more advertised medicines, but I thought in for a penny in for a pound, so 1 invested in three boxes of this specific." *' I hope you were careful to ask for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peop'e ? " •' I took particular notice to do that for I had read of so many worthless imitations that I was careful to ask for, and nhtain, the genuine article." " We think it highly probable, Mrs Brown, that before long some of the compounders of these worthless imitations will be spending time in seclusion, with the accompanying eccentricities of diet, official garb and essort." ■' And indeed it would oaly serve them right. Brown (my husband) laughed at me when I told him I was going in for a course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and said, " Oh, you are going to chuck away some more money, are you ?" " I said ' Yes, I am, and right glud am I that I ran the risk of ' chucking away some more money,' for I am happy to tell you that they have done me all the good in the world. Talk about the new woman, why I feel now a brand new woman, and my husband only this morning said to me ' Well, you certainly look the ' pink ' of perfection now. I suppose it is your Pink Pills ttiat have done it.' And so it is. Not only have I lost my rheumatic pains, but my appetite has returned, and I can now enjoy my food. In fact my appetite is s<~> good that Brown says tha I >vill e*t liiiu out of house and honi?." " How many boxes have you taken Mrs Brown ? ' " I have had seven boxes in all, and I have so much belief in them that I intend always to keep a box by me, and I shall recommend them to all my friends. You are quite at liberty to publish this statement, as I beiieve in giving credit to whom credit is duo." Our reporter then withdiew, and reflected as he wulked slowly away that here at e iSt was another case in which the many virtues of this marvellous preparation had been exhaustively and conclusively illustrated. Dr Wil'iams' Pink Pills are not like other medicines, and their effects are permanent. Nothing else is so prompt in pulling up the system when from some temporary depression or otherwise, tone is needed. They have cured more than fifty-five hundred cases of diseases arising from impoverished blood, such as anaemia, pale and sallow complexion, muscular weakness, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, pains in the back, nervous headache, loss of memory, early decay, all forms of female weakness, hysteria, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism and sciatica, scrofula, rickets, hip-joint diseases, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs. The genuine pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two inches in length, in a white wrapper with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. They are never sold in bulk, or from glass jars, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form should be avoided. In cases of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d.

These Pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate.
