EX-CHAMPION JIM CORBETT TALKS PLAINLY TO A REPORTER.

JIB IS NOT DIAD YET. [ (From the St. Louis, Mo., Chronicle.) ( Corbefct, ftltired in a frock ooafc of the period, plug hat, and shod in patent, leather*, sat in his apartments in the Southern Hotel at St. Louis, ihe other dny, and delivered himself of a few opinions to » reporter. " I am bigger, better, and stronger than ever before," replied th« champion when asked s.boub , his health. " The rheumatic complaint that I held me capt;ve off and' on some time ago has ' left me completely, and I know I am cured of it. I contacted rheumatism before training for my fight with Poler Jackson," continued Oorbett. "How I got it or where I got is a mystery to mo, but that I had it is a faci thafc I am nofc likely to forget soon. I suffered & good deal with rheumatism after that fight. Some days my arms, wrists, and fingers would be so stiff and swoollen that I could net uoe them at all. My legs also pained mo, but to & less degree. Then again all this would leave without any apparent reason, and I would not be troubled again for weeks. Of course, I doctored for my complaint continuously, but the attacks seemed to oom« every few weeki just the same. A short time after my fight with Jackson I wont ea»t and met and defeated Dominick M'Caffrey, thongh I was handicapped by rheumatism in my right leg in my encounter with M'Caffrey. These periodical attack!) of rheumatism affected me until a few weeks before I began training for my fight with Mitchell. One day I sat in the Colemaa Honee, New York. My aye ohanced to cross an advertisement of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had never hefcrd of them before, and as an experiment purchased * box. I consumed two boxes and was pleased with the results, for the pains began to leave my arms and lege, After taking four boxes according to directions I found myself greatly improved. The improvement is permanent, I am sure, for I haven't been troubled with rheumatism since. Btfors using the pills the rheumatic attacks returned every month or ao, especially if I caught a. cold. When I trained for my fight with Mitchell in Florida I suffered from axuiaria, and uaed the pills as a tonic with splendid results. I found that Dr Williams' Pink Pills were efficacious hi building up the system after a malarial attack. " The above I attest aa entirety correct, " SigDod, Jas. J. Corbett." Dr Williams' Pink Pills are a sure remedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Locamotor Ataxy, St. Vitus's Dance, Nervous Headache, Scrofula, Ohronic Erysipelas, &c. They arc not a purgative, but they restore pale and yellow complexions to the glow of health, and are a specific for troubles peculiar to the female, whila in men they effect a radical curft in all cases arising from worry, overwork, or excess of any nature. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are obtainable from all loading chemists-, or from the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, who will forward (postpaid) on receipt of stamps or po3t office order one box for 3s, or half-a-dozen for 15s 9d. As there are a number of worthless oubsfcitutes offered for sale by unscrupulous chemists, the proprietors would warn intending purchasers that the genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills lot Pale People are put up in wooden boxes about 2£ inches long and 1 inch thick. Do not accept pills put up in glass bottles or pills sold by tha dozen or hundred.
