A Fortunate Drop.
At great fires many valuable lives have been saved by people jumping or dropping into blankets stretched ready to receive them by willing hands. Not only at fires has a drop or fall been the means of saving life; Mrs Boyesof 162 Dowling-street, Sydney, can vouch for that. She is ever ready to speak of her escape which ares brought about by an accident. In talking to our reporter, she said : " I might have been suffering stitl if I hadn't had the good fortune to drop on a'paragraph in the papers describing a oure of indigestion—which I myself was afflicted for 15,' years—by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.; Though I always had indigestion with MiB y it came on much more violently at times than was usual. Theattacks were at first comparatively licjht, but as years went on they became more and more severe. They commenced with a feeling of sickness and a disinclination to eat, and when I did manage te'eat some light food it would lie on my ohest in a heavy, immovable lump', The sensation was most oppressive and distressing and, sometimes I .was in such pain that I could hardly sleep, and often I would wake up in the night with a start and not get any'more sleep till the morning, and when I did get out of bed I would, feol depressed in spirits, and quite overcome by a feeling of lassitude and weariness, I had violent Headaches, and a most awkward giddiness when I got up'suddonly from a sitting posture j I .also suffered ft dm a continual bad breath and unpleasant, taste in the mouth. [ I also hod bad bilious turns. I wps not as you see mo now, but was much thinner, with a pale, unhealthy complexion; During all' these long years, in addition to; the attention of doctors, ;I tried a large number of other remedies, and none of them did me an atom of good. • At length I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The effect was astonishing; after taking them for only a short time the attack I was then sufteiiug from was completely got rid of. I had a sound, healthy appetite, which I-hadn't had for years, and my sleep was no longer disturbed. I took altogether about. 12 boxes, and the Pills completely cured me of both my indigestion and biliousness." :
