EXAMPLES OF FORTITUDE,

KRUGER AND HIS THUMB.

The Boer President is universally regarded as a " tough nut " to crack, and even Britain may well exercise caution in dealing with a man of the iron will exhibited in a story, told by a, contemoorary. The Boer President, whilst shooting one day, had part of his thumb blown off. The surgeon advised amputation of the arm, bub Kruger said no.

But one day, after readingan advertisement, she tried Dr Williams' pink pills. Great benefit resulted from one box, and, continuing with them, she was cured. Some time after, she was attacked with apoplexy, asthma, and consumption. One side was paralysed, and she could not move, and though despite all treatment she did not improve, she never complained, but all through, bore up with singular fortitude.

Gradually tha paralysis left her, the cough abated, she became stronger, and by continuing the pills regained perfect health. This kind of narrative is constantly recurring, for there is hardly a town where there are not some people, once suffering invalids, who have been restored to health by Dr Williams' pink pills. The genuine always bear on the white wrapper the seven-worded title, Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, printed in red, and are sold by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, post free, and by chemists and storekeepers — but mind you ask for Dr Williams'.
