TH E GABDENER'S DILEMMA. (From the Otaki Mail.)

News? gathering is not a stationary art. Newspapers to-day aim to collect their facts at first hand and bring the news of the people to the people. The reporter's mission brings to light many quaint facts. The following is an example not unworthy of record. An, Otnki Mail reporter called on Mr David Evnns, w'io is engaged as gardener on a gentleman's estate at Te Horo.

" I am now in charge of Mr Percy Gilles's garden and grounds," said Mr Evans, " and have lived in the colony for the last 20 of my 55 years of life. For 30 years I have been, troubled with rheumatism, and in July tasfc rheumatic sciatica came 'on. The aching pains spread from the left hip joint to the foot. They became worse ot night, and I could not have suffered more if I had been flayed alive. Sound sleep was impossible, and I lay in bed moaning and crying willi pain. From the first week I gave up work, and for some time afterwards was hardly, fit for anything. I tried ointments, liniments, and plasters, but without permanent effect.I was in a terrible dilemma, and did not know what to do. I had been for three week in agony when I read in a pamphlet of a person' who had been cured of similar troubles by using Dr Williams' pink pills. I sent £or six boxes and took the "ills according to direction?. Upon finishing the fourth box I felt a marked improvement, and I continued them. Dr Williams' pink pills cured me of the most acute rheumatic sciatica a man: could experience. It is six months since I took any, and I have had no return of my trouble. I also suffered from partial paralysis in my left foot, but since taking Dr Williams' pink pills the paralysis has left me, and I am now diligently at work again."

The medicine best fitted to counteract rheumatic sciatica_ and all diseases of the blood and nerves is Dr Williams' pink pills, which, by thoir strengthening effect on the nerves, and their unique power of enriching the blood, fortify the system against attack by disease. They thus cure anasmia, debility, consumption, bronchitis, St. Yitus' dance, rickets, skin diseases, etc. Pills sold loose or in glass bottles, although coloured pink, are not Dr Williams', these are obtainable onlj? in boxes, the white wrapper of which bears the full name in red ink. They are sold bj^ the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, 'Wellington, 3s per box, six boxes 16s 6d, posi? free, and by all chemists and storekeepers—^ but mind you ask for Dr Williams'. As Dr, Williams' piulc pills have been somewhat' extensively substituted, the proprietors are devoting- considerable energy to the detection: of that practice, and will pay a reward for information leading to the conviction o& offenders..
