THE CHILD THAT DID NOT DIE.

ALTHOUGH ATTACKED BY INFLUENZA, PLEURISY, PNEUMONIA, AND DROPSY. The reporter of a local paper was lately deputed to interview a Mrs Bonnick, 5 Oouthurst road, Charlton road, Blackheath, London, S.E. Mrs Bonnick showed him her baby, a stout, healthy, little girl. " Ah, but you should have seen her this time last year," said the mother — " you would not have thought she would have lived a day. Till last

winter she was a bright healthy child. She was then taken* ill with influenza, followed by pleurisy and pneumonia. She wasted to a shadow, and dropsy set in. The doctor gave up hope, and. only called occasionally to see her. Last June I read a small book about Dr Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, and how a child on the verge of death had been completely cured by the use of the Pills. As a last resource I determined to try them.

I gave her the third part of a Pill dissolved in water thrice a day, and the very first night she slept better than she had done for weeks. On the third day her appetite commenced to improve, and she asked for food. At the end of a fortnight she was able to sit up. She took two boxes altogether, and at the end was as well as ever. She has had no relapse or ailment since. The people of the neighbourhood thought she could not last man}*" days, and now they think she is a perfect wonder." Mrs Bonnick added : " I can never be too grateful. We all thought she was dying, but she is quite cured now." Dr Williams's Pink Pills are a strengthening tonic medicine for men, women, or children. They are not like other medicine. Take care that the package bears the "full name" — Dr Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People ; if in doubt send direct to Dr Williams's Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, as the Pills can be had post free at 3s, or six boxes for 15s 9d. They have cured numerous cases of influenza, ansemia, palpitations, and disorders arising from impoverished blood, such as weakness, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, pains in the back ; also nervous headache, early decay, all forms of female weakness, hysteria, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism, and sciatica.
