MR W. E. REGAN. F.R.G.S., INTERVIEWED. Mr W. F. Recan. F.R.G.S., the author ci Boer and Uiclandor," has for many years been cloeely connected with Transvaal business, and possesses large mining interests there. lnter\ iewod by the London Daily Telegraph at his offices, 41 Threadneedlo street, London, Mr Regan declared that before the war broke out mining operations were in a most prosperous stale. /' You ba\ c been in correspondence direct with Kruger, have you not V was asked.

"Ye 3," said Mr Regan, "I have, and! remexnber particularly one letter of kindly encouragement he sent me. 1 am ,a hard wovker, and during the South African mmmg boom of '95 I worked for nineteen hours out of twenty-four each day. - In '96 the strain be-mn to "tell and symptoms of weakness and debility appeared. At last 1 could not walk straight, and sometimes had to catch hold of - a railing or turn into the nearest office for a few minutec. At 10 o'clock in the morning I have been forced to hail a hansom in Cheapside not being able to control my limbs, though my home was only 100 yards away.. Throughout '96 my illness continued, and though I never missed a day from business, fainting fits were frequent. Whilst in this condition I received in one day letters from the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, from President Kruger, and from his Majesty the King of Portugal. All three were letters of encouragement, but the day after that I took a relapse and my mind became a blank. The locomotor ataxia had attacked my brains. I consulted four noted doctors without being cured, and I tried almost every medicine sold. A ity friend one day brought in a dozen boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills and made me take a doFe, and he came in the following day to see if I was taking them. After taking several boxes I was surprised to find myself consideraDly better, my brain clearer, and my limbs perfpetly under control. Now the locomotor ataxia has left me altogether, and I work from 8 in the morning until 8 at night without ill effect. I air- as strong as ever, and sleep soundly the moment I lay my head on the pillow. As a cure for locomotor ataxia and debility Dr Williams' Pink Pills cannot be equalled." Mr Regan's opinion is shared by eminent men and women in all parts of the world, a$ our testimonials show. Dr Williams' Pinl< Pills cure locomotor ataxia by their tonitf action on the blood and nerves. Thus they cure rheumatism, neuralgia, aiiEemia, con--sumption, bronchitis, all skin and blood troubles, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis, vital losses, ladies' ailments,, etc. Sold by the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, at three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free, and by chemists and storekeepers—but mind you ask for Dr Williams', Applicants will be supplied free of chai'gs with a copy of Mr Regan's interview.—Advt,
