A CRACK CYCLIST.

INJURED- WHILST TRAINING.

" It was some 14 months ago/ said Mr J. G. Blight, the craok Marton cyclist, to a special^ reporter, '' tliat I found I Was unequal * to riding my 1 bicycle. I was very sorry to lay it aside, but had no help for it. J felt internal pains when riding, and suffered greatly from nervousness and weakness. I was unable to sleep properly, ato little, and altogether was in a poor way. I consulted] several doctors, who prescribed and ordered 1 liniments, but I obtained little relief. I hadi evidently strained some internal organ, and] my stomach appeared disorgani&ed. One day I read in the paper a testimonial given by an athlete who had been cured by Dr Wil-' Hams' pink pills, and whose case had been much worse than mine, so I gave thern # a trial."

"What result did you experience?"

" I have been better ever since," was tho ready reply. " The first box brought a great improvement, and three boxes completely cured me. All nervousness and unpleasant internal symptoms have left me, and I can, do a 20-mile ride on my bike and enjoy it. Manual work which previously I could nofc perform, now does not affect me in the least."
