A BAD STOMACH,

Good and Bad Treatments. Only One Scientific Cure Dr Williams* Pink Pills.

" I know New Zealand from Three Kings to the Bluff, and I never met a man or woman in the whole colony who had Indigestion as bad as I had it two years ago," said Mr James Walden, whose home is at 60 Tory street, Wellington, and who has probably as many friends throughout New Zealand as any man. " I was a wreck with it. I had no end of careful doctoring, and I tried every boasted remedy on the market. Instead of curing me all these ' Indigestion Cures ' made me worse. Nothing did me the least real good till I set my blood right with Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and they cured me for good. I often wonder how common medicine can hope to cure Indigestion when it doesn't make any attempt to touch the cause of the whola trouble in the blood."

Mr Walden might well wonder. Indigestion can be treated in many ways, but it can be cured in only one way — through the blood. Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood — that is why they cure hundreds like James Walden, after everything eko has failed. Purgatives can never cure Indigestion By main force they move the food on still undigested. That weakens the whole system, uses up the natural juices of the body, and leaves the stomach and bowels parched and sore. It is a cause of Indieestion — not a cure. Others try predigested foods and peptonising drugs. But drugs which digest the food for the stomach really weaken its powers. The digestive organs can never do their work properly until they are strong enough to do it for themselves. Nothing; can give them that power but new pure rich red blood — and Dr Williams' Pink Pills contain just the elements that actually go to make new blood.

So the reason for this success is plain. The health of the stomach depends upon the blood in its delicate veins. If that blood is weak and -watery the gastrio glands haven't the strength to secrete the juices which alone can digest the food. If the blood is already loaded with impurities, ifc cannot absorb the good from the food when it is digested. Nothing can stimulate the glands and nothinsr can absorb the nourishment but pure red blood. And nothinsr can give that new blood but Dr Williams* Pink Pills.

" My Wood got in a bad state, and then my stomach gave way," Mr Wai den went on. " A sharp pain shofe through my chest and between my shoulder-blades. It was like a stab from a knife. For two years I didn't know what good health was. I lost all appetite and heart. The sight of food 1 turned me sick. I was always dull and drowsy. At night I tossed about in misery, and got up more tired than when I went to bed. My nerves gave way. and I seemed to lose all grip of myself. In fact, my whole health startsd to go to pieces. "My brsa-th was heavy and foul. My tongue was coated with slime ; and it is no wonder, for I suffered greatly from costiveness, and the undigested food lay ia my stomach till it fermented. Whenever I ate anything I felt as if I wanted to vomit, but couldn't. Often I starved myself to avoid this bilious feeling. In a few weeks I lost 9st in weight. " At last my sight g-ave way," Mr Walden. added. "I was half -blind, and always had a dread of falling down. Often I had to grope my way along by hanging on to the fence. I was almost too weak to walk. A few stops left me breathless, with a piercing pain in my heart. Sometimes I thought I would die in the street. That was the state I was in when I started Dr Williams' Pink "Pills.

" Every other medicine failed to do me tho least good," Mr Walclen concluded. '• Purgative pills mado me worse. But a friend had suc'i faith in Dr Williams' P>nk Pills that I determined to give them a fair trial. My improvement began at the second box — it gave me the best appetite I had had for years. From that on I picked up. After a" fortnight I could eat anything without fear of a bilious attack. Then my sight became clear. • All this time I was growing stronger. Af tor six boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills I stood completely cured. Remember Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People actually make new blood—nothing more. They don't act on the bowefe. No other medicine can strike at the root oE disease like they do. They have cured the worst cases of liver trouble, indigestion* neuralgia, rheumatism, goiatioa, and general weakness in New Zealand. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr AVilliaons' Medicine Co., Wellington— 3s £ box; six boxes 16s 6d, post free.

So far the sum of £115 has been fiqju scribed in Wellington towards the fund fo? presenting a testimonial to Captain Seddon. An exchange states that a Masterton young lady sought the protection of tho Bankruptcy Court one day last week, was examined by the D.A.O. on the following day, and on the next was led to th« hymenal altar.

B TTER FttEIGH I>. SYDNEY, May 16. The mail companies have submitted to the Butter Exporters' Association a draft contract providing- for a freight of 7-16ths of Id per lb on butter shipped to London. The terms, which are favourably received in commercial circles, . also prcjride for reduced temperatures and opportunilHfe for inspection.

In reference to the above, and also the London cable of 12th inst., stating that the Tooley street agents strongly support shipments by the mail boats, the following extract from Drover's Notes "in this week's Witness will be read with interest: — " The Victorian Government Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with some shipping factories and agents, has, I understand, made a contraot with the White Star, Aberdeen, and Lund lines for the carriage of butter to London at Id per lb. Now, on the face of it this looks a very fine thing, but all is not gold that glitters, and if this service is what I understand it to be — namely, a service via the Cap* and South African ports — I am of opinion that it is not of much value, nor is it one that need excite the envy of New Zealand dairymen, as I consider our fortnightly •ervice of 42 days is worth paying a good deal more for than their servioe of 60 to 65 days (and probably on an average much longer). The Aberdeen and Lund lines call at two or three porte in South Africa — Durban, Port . Elizabeth, and Capetown ; the White Star at Capetown enly. Although the Victorian Government, and some others, have apparently satisfied.. themselves that such a; sp-rvicfl will suit tliem," I feei confident that. London merchant^ "as well as a parge ■portion of Aus"traliaii snippers, will not be satisfied to ship in this manner, and even if this service is tried by some, I am confident one year will suffice to show that it is worse than useless. All shippers and buyers of butter know very well that in the early part of the season it is of tha utmost importance that' our butter should reach" the market in London as early as poa-

Bible, and, in fact, all along the season this ■~is the case. I am, let me h«re say, alluding to the normal conditions of the market over a number of years, for the season just closed has presented exceptional and abnormal conditions as to the" trend of market prices. Such conditions are very unlikely to occur again. The normal condition on the London market fox butter is one of high prices from October or November to about Christ-mas, with a fall of la to 2s per week from about the middle of ■ January to March or April. It is therefore

of the utmost importance that every factory should "get as much butter on to the London market as early as possible, and one can therefor* see that a 42 days' service is of much more value than a6oor 65 days' servioe. At pressnt New -Zealand shippers pay 2d per lb n»t -weight, and I believe even at this the 42 day's service is better than the 60 to 65 days' service at Id. I have always, howeveT, considered that "the freights charged on New Zealand butter are more than should be paid, and I am glad, therefore, to learn that the National Dairy Association's executives have been bringing all the pressure they can to induce the shipping companies to grant a re-"dictiort-in s> tfae- freights'. The present contract has two ye'afa -to tuxl at |d per lb -with a 5 per * confj allowance. T feel confident from what I

can tear tliat the National Dairy Associations will v succeed in ; curtaining a very substantial .-reduction, probably on a new contract,- and fac--'*toribs r should one and all give them tliefir strongest -^support an 3 co-operation, and. I -^Believe t&ev toH' do so. Our' present fort- - nightly .service is a. valuable one, aid has been run. m6st satisfactorily both to factories here and to London buyers and consignees. Northing urusrl be done to wreck it. A service of tramp steamers is useless to New Zealand butter shippers — dear at any price, in ituA. J would therefore like to see our present servioe maintained, ancTh-ope it ■will be, and at a reduction, too. We must taks into account the fact that shipping companies in New Zealand pay coastal freight and incur Tieavy expenses in collecting the butter from New Zealand ports. In Australia all is concentrated in Melbourne andJSydney, and shipping companies have no such expense. I ana therefore of opinion that we cannot expect quite as low rates as prevail in Australia, but I hope, and I believe that' the National Dairy Associations ■will secure a reduction in freight, and maintain the present excellent and satisfactory serTice. A corresponding reduction in the freight on cheese will, it is expected, also be made by

the efforts of the executives of the National Dairy Associations, which have also been keeping before the Minister of Railways the question of reduction in railage and improved transit arrangements generally, all of which •will be dealt with and .discussed a.t the annual meeting at the winter show on the June 14 next."
