A SYDNEY WASHERWOMAN’S TRIALS.

Hardships met with in Cold Weather. Hands in Hot Water then in Cold. Getting Heated, then going out of doors in all sorts of Weather. Coughs, Colds and Rheumatism the Inevitable Results. In this inclement weather, when so many are suffering from colds, coughs and rheumatism, the story of Mrs Mary Brown, of 71 Simmonsstreet, Eninore, will bo read with devouring interest. When our reporter called at this lady’s residence, he found her busily engaged at tho wash tub, what she called doing a 4 ‘ day’s washing.” It was indeed difficult to believe by the amount of “elbow grease” she laid into her labors that this interesting personage had lately been informed by medical men that hers was a case which would probably develop into chronic rheumatism. “ 1 have called, Mrs Brown,” said our reporter, “to ascertain the truth of the rumor that has reached us of your having recently suffered from a severe attack of rheumatism.” “ It is quite true, but I am now happy to relate that I feel as well as 1 ever did. 1 have been suffering on and off from rheumatism for the last five years, and tho slightest change in the weather used to give me most awful twinges. It chiefly affected my arms, and 1 can assure, you, sir, that it took me all my time to do my hair. As to lifting this tub, j that was a matter of sheer impossi- j bility. If it had not been for some j of my friends, I could never have i gotten through my household duties, j Th's complaint appeared to affect ! uiy entire system, and as to the j mon y I have spent in doctors’ advice and so-called remedies, why ! it makes me positively disgusted to j think of. I began to think that if ! my sufferings continued life was not I worth living. I remember one day, i as I was sitting by the fire and endeavoring to employ my mind by i leading the Evening News, that an ; advertisement caught my eye headed ; ** Dr Williams’ Pink Pills lor Pale ( People, cures Rheumatism, Sciatica, ! etc.” Now, having wasted so much I money already, I was at first loth to | try any more advertised medicines, \ Lut I thought in for a penny in for a pound, so I invested in three boxes of this specific.” •• 1 hope you were careful to ask i for Dr Williams’ Pink Pills *?’* “ 1 took particular notice to do that, for 1 had read of so many ] worthless imitations that 1 was car - ! ful to ask for, and obtain, the i

genome article. “We think it highly probable, Mrs Brown, that before long some of the compounders of these worth- j h ss imitations will be spending time | in chi-ior., with the accompanying 1 ! eccentricities of diet, official garb, | and escort.’ “ And indeed it would only serve them ii-giit. Brown (my 1 band)' , !, gin (l at me when 1 told him 1 was going in ! r a course of J)r Williams’ Pink Pills, and said, ‘Oh, you are going to chuck away some more money, are you *?’ ” ••1 sari. 4 Yes, I am,’ and right ■L d a: 1 that 1 ran the risk of • chucking away -ome more money,’ for I mil happy to tell you that they have d< m me all ihe good in • the v - rid. Talk abort the new woman, a v l ft- 1 now a biand new woman, and my husband only this morning 'aid to me, ‘ Well, old girl, if you were “ off color ” a few weeks ago, ; i certainly look the “pink” of pel ft etion now. 1 suppose it is your i And * -(» it is. Not only have I lost luy .lieumatic pains, hut my appetite , has returned, and now i can enjoy , my food. Jn fact my appetite is so ! good that Brown says l will eat him out of house ami home.” “ How many boxes have you taken, Mrs Drown ? ” *♦ 1 have had seven foxes in all, and 1 have so much belief in them that I intend always to keep a box by me, and 1 shall recommend them to ! all my friends. You are quite at liberty to publish this statement, as . 1 believe in giving credit to whom credit is due.” Our reporter then withdrew, and nthcada.'- he walked slowly away! that her* at least was another case in which the many virtues of this marvellous preparation had been exhaustively mid conclusively illustrated.
