Old and New World Wisdom.

Away in the dim mysterious 'yoars wh?n the vast tombs of the Pharoahs wore o.s yet unbuilded the wise men of the East wrote and spoke philosophies which live with us to-day, and there is nothing more poetic or true than the old Egyptian declaration, " The good deed shines out like a star." A deed which shines out like a star is reported from South Brisbane. It has been known for some time that a lady resident of South Brisbane was virtually pulled back from the grave by the agency of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The case was known to be remarkable, and a reporter was specially sent to investigate it. The lady's name is Mrs Beeston,--and her residence is " Off Boundary - street, near Melbourne-street, South Brisbane. Mrs Beeston bears no trace of the terrible suffering which she for years endured. Her first serious illness followed on a cold contracted through getting wet, and that dreadful scourge rheumatic fever supervened. In treating her for the "fever, the medical man of the family gave Mrs Beeston instructions to take large quantities of lemon juice. The doctor, a wellknown and highly-esteemed physician succeeded in relieving her from the fever, but her system was completely run down and her blood impoverished by the method of the treatment. She was doing fairly well when another another attack of rheumatic fever came on, and that also the doctor managed to beat off. '• But I was left terribly weak," said Mrs Beeston ; •* my teeth suffered through taking the juice of as many as six lemons a day, and when I was able to get about I felt fit for nothing," Mrs Beeston's sister, who was present at the interview, here interjected: •' When I saw hei" she had her hair cut off ; she was quite yellow, and looked as if she had just come out of a fever ward." Well, for a long time Mrs Beeston battled on, but she suffered greatly from general debility, which she could not manage to throw off, and the least household duty was a distressing task. At last she was advised to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she gave practical proof of her wisdom by doing so. And what was the result ? Unqualified success. She was not restored by a box, it took thirteen to restore her to her old condition, but the improvement though gradual was sure, and a very stubborn case had to be overcome. She is now able to rejoice in her strength, and to go about her household duties and to take her place in the social life of the neighborhood. A useful life has been restored to society ; a daughter, wife, and mother rescued from the threshold' of an early grave, and given back to her family. As instancing Mrs Beeston's changed condition, it may be mentioned that she went to a dentist to have two teeth extracted, and felt a little timid about taking gas, as before using Dr Williams' Pink Pills her heart was very weak from the effects of the rheumatic fever. The dentist, however, after the operation "was able to inform Mrs Beeston that her heart was perfectly sound. " And I told him," she said to the reporter,' " that I had to thank Dr Williams' Pink Pills for that."

These pills are not like other medicine, and their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that tbey are so famous for the cure of anoemia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and have thus cured many cases of neuralgia, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, St Vitus' dance, nervous headache. Tbey are sold by chemists and by Dr Williams'.Mediciue Co., Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or order, one box for 3s, or half-dozen for 15s 9d, but are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which is on each box. See that your chemist does not substitute something just as good •when making your purchases. The just as good kind cost him less money, and he is looking out for his pocket, not your health.
