A GROCER'S . SAD j EXPERIENCE,

In.;these (lays,of ; fush,. ; ,and.worry business responsibilitiesare",,. greatly increased'' to 'what* ' they' were : pre.grbderjr 'trade - has ! felt the competition (for, soine time,, leading, fj grocers j sayj- that things, are, what • they r ,used. to; be. A reporter Recently wither. F. 'H.' ThomaS, tfko has ; been connected) with''the 'grocery 'trade' for 'molny years,' gathered, some iipterestirigiparticulars, "I, was always:,a :busy t man," stud.Mr..Thomas, am at present ijiajakging 1 'a large generd store i n Qufeanbeyanj-'N.S.W.j but previously owned, the', leading :<grocfei-j:.' establishment in Palace street, Petersham. After several years of persistent work in my trade I, found that the responsibilities had such an effect upon my health that I contracted a lung trouble, which, before long, , proved, very serious. I was troubled with a persistent dry cough, shortness of -.breath and fearful pains in the chest, which at time also extended to the shoulders. I had a tendency to feverish attacks, and became greatly debilitated and depressed. My acquaintances, too, noticed my loss of flesh and strength. I would wake up at night sometimes literally struggling for- my breath. I called in a leading 'physician, and his best- skill and'attention were given,me, but unfortunately he did not appear to relieve-me, I was Buffering from consumption, he said, fjid he also told me lie ..feared -the presence of asthma. His diagnosis was so serious that it made me more down-hearted than ever, ,and business worries certainly aided my ailments in their progress, for I was always a particularly busy man. I tried remedy after remedy without success. At last I was almost in despair, for itseemed, that neither doctors nor patent medicines could help, me. - At-this stage I became acquainted with a gentleman who had himself been cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills. This gave me hope, and in September, 1897, 1 commenced talcing them. The first two boxes did not benefit me greatly, but the third box proved of wonderful* value, and I naturally continued with them, following the directions closely.' At last I found myself completely cured of consumption, asthma and: all weakness of the lungs. I became strong and healthy, and looked a younger man by several years. No relapse whatever has occurred, and to-day I am in perfect health, and in the possession of more strength and vigor than I have , had for years. Dr. Williams' pink pills have in my case made a thorough cure, and for all affections of the lungs I cannot recommend them too highly." Mr. Thomas' case is one of many which go to prove that Dr. Williams' pink pills have cured thousands of cases of neuralgia, pleurisy, | pneumonia, influenza, fever, bronohitis, coughs and colds, heart disease, anaemia, eczema, all ladies' ailments, 'loss of vital strength, St. Vitus' dance, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, diabetes and other disorders.

Price, three shillings per box; six boxes for sixteen and sixpence, from all chemists and storekeepers, or from the Dr. Wil : liams Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z.
