BAKER S MIDNIGHT PERIL. The portrait which we present below is that of Mr. David Grant, a respected resident of Waimea Street, Nelson, Mr. Grant is just the hardy type of immigrant who has helped to place New Zealand in the front rank it bolds. With a view of publication in the Nelson Mail, a reporter recently bad a half hour’s chat with Mr Grant. ‘ I came out here from Scotland forty years ago,’ said he, ‘ and I have lived in this district ever since, following my trade of baker. I am sixty-nine years old, and until lately, hare kept in excellent health. But coming out of the hot bakehouse in the cold midnight or early morning predisposes me to catch cold, and some time ago I contracted influenza. My system was quite run down, I bad a bad cough and was extremely weak and languid. The bronchial tubes were affected and the slightest change of air produced a fit of coughing' I grew worse, and there seemed no hope for me, until one day I read how similar troubles had been cured by Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people. I purchased a supply, and after taking two boxes felt improved. The cough began to abate, and I regained some strength. Several more boxes cored me. All weakness has disappeared, and my health at present is splendid. Whenever I catch a cold I always take Dr Williams’ pink pills, for I find they are most efficacious in checking it. lam continually recommending this medicine ; I cannot be too grateful.’ As the Autumn nears and cold changes occur, cold-catching becomes common ; those with constitutions weakened by the summer’s heat, over work, or confinement, are particularly liable. Dr Williams’ pink pills remove liability to cold-catching by enriching the blood, toning up the nerves, and restoring perfect health. They also cure consumption, bronchitis, rheumatism, dyspepsia, anaemia, debility, skin diseases, rickets, paralysis, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six post free. ‘ How. to Regain Good Health : ’ describe your case and send for honest information
