A JOCKEY'S TERRIBLE CONDITION

A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS.

It may be taken for granted that nothing % further from the mind of the jockey, when riding a close-contested race, than the chancea of an accident occuring. The frequency with, which mishaps take place on the racecourse, however, serves to illustrate the old saying, "It's the unexpected that generally happens." Mr T. H. Lampard, of 15 Fisher street,Adelaide, who was an intense sufferer front indigestion and internal injuries, the results of accidents with horses, and who has been completely cured by Dr Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, stated his case to a reporteias follows -, —

"I havo been a KufFerer for years wltli Chronic Indigestion, and internal injuries received accidentally from hordes. When I was 16 years of age a horse threw me heavily,; which stunned me, and I lay unconscious for six hours. I was carried home to where I was then living afc East "Wellington, South Australia, and for days after was totally unable to move. I was 'again badly injured when riding the horse New Babylon, on 'the old course afc Adelaide. The year following, the horse Saxinterer, which I ow r ned~and rode, fell with me at Nairne races, and rolling on me, broke my left shoulder blade, fractured some of my ribs, and bruised me ail over, so that my body went quite black. Nature could not stand all this knocking about. I began to feel a strange numbne33 in rcy limbs, this increased as time went on, until one part of my body went quite dead, and I could not feel anything whatever when a needle was pushed into that part. 1 had plenty of medical advice, and consulted no less than seven doctors. Some relieved me for a time, but others were not able to benefit me in the least. I. afterwards got very bad, and resolved to try the various patent medicines that I saw advertised, and I really think I tried almost everything that was recommended as a cmre for my complaints. Amongst other things I tried an Electric Belfc. but that was not of the slightest use, and I got so 'disgusted with it that I burnt it. I spent no end of money on various preparations, and with the sole exception of Dr Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, none of them benefited me at all. About June last I had a pamphlet from Dr Williams's Medicine Co. handed to me, and on reading- it found a case something- like my own, so I resolved to give Dr Williams's Pink Pills a fair trial. I sent for half a dozen boxes, and commenced taking them at the beginning- of August, and took three boxes before ieeling any benefit. However, from that time I fplt a distinct improvement, until at last [ was completely cured of complaints that had troubled me very severeV for more than 20 years ; but to make doubly sure, I have continued to take the Pills right up to the present, and most certainly would not be without them even if they cost £1 a box. My cure is the more remarkable, beca-usa I was not able to take the Pills at all regularly, in fact, everything was against the Pills, for frequently I only had very bad water to drink, and was greatly exposed to changes from heat to cold, and the usual back country manner of living-. Before taking Dr Williams's Pills I was almost a skeleton, and my weight was only Bst 51b, now I weigh lOst 61b. I think that speaks for itself. Lately my friends at Quorn have remarked how wonder^ fully well I am looking, and I tell them ft is Dr Williams's Pink Pills I have to thank for it. I know that many friends of mine have been taking- the Pills after seeing- the ■wonders they have worked in me. It might interest you to know that I have given away no less than a dozen and a-half boxes of these Pills."

Congratulating Mr Lampard upon his return to good health our reporter withdrew.

These pills are not like other medicine, and their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, --and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of antemia and rheumatism, iveak heart, scrofula, consumption, erysipelas, and to restore/ pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spine tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St. Yitus's dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., at 3s a box, or six for 15s 9d, but are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People.

See that your chemist does not substitute something- just as good when making youi? purchases. The juSi as good kind cost him less money, and he is looking out for hi« pocket, not your health.
