Serious Assault on a Farmer.

FOUR TO ONE.

THE ASSAILANTS ARRESTED.

To be set upon by roughs and almost killed after e;oing through nearly 60 years uf life without accident to health or limb is one of the hardest experiences we know of. Such, though, was th« fate of Mr. Geo. Batchelor, a farmer on the Horton River, N. S. W., who at 59 lyears of age, just when his strength would prove moat valuable, became the victim of the attacks of those enemies to life and limb—lusomnia, Nervous Debility, Despondency, and Intense Suffering. He was rescued, however, by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Our reporter who found him ploughing, obtained the following particulars —

" I think, " said Mr:, Batchelor " my case is one that should have al, the publicity possible. I am sixty-fiv[» years of age, and have been resident in this district for about twelve years. Prior to my coming here, I had always enjoyed the best of health, and I hud beep accustomed to work very hard. About six years ago, however, all my energy seemed to gradually desert me. I suffered acutely and constantly from pains in my limbs, lost my appetite, and for months at a stretch I did not know what it was to get a good night's sleep. Work of the ve>y lightest nature at last became beyond the question with me, and I could do nothing but sit by the window and cohtent myself by watching the others work the farm. I gave up all hope of ! ever being able to do any more work, and almost believed that every week which commenced would be my last. In my endeavors to stay the ravages of the: ailment which had overtaken me, and was gradually drawing meiuto the grave, I tried innumerable so-called cures and swallowed an immense quantity of medical compounds, but beyond giving me temporary relief occasionally, Done of them did me any good ; in fact, I honestly believe that the majority of them only aggravated my sufferings, A few months back I was just on the point of giving up in despair when I happened to read in a newspaper of some wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for i'aie People, and I determined to give them a trial After taking the first box, I felt considerably relieved, and sn marked was the improvement in my strength that I decided to continue their use. I did so and up to the present time I have taken five boxes. My inability has disappeared, and I pleased to say that today I am as strong and hearty as I ever was in my life. It is no trouble to me to do a day's farm work now, and I feel quite equal to the task of walking at least thirty miles a day. Eveiyone who knows me can testify to the great cure Dr Williams' Pii k Pills have effecttd in me, ani in recommending them for similar cases to mine I can honestly say that they are worth more, than their weight in gold. If everybody knew their true value, there would be no other medicine sold.

A remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from au impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment or the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralyris, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dancenervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling arising there* from, the after effects of la grippe, influenza, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c, is possessed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a speoific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, and excesses of any nature.

They are genuine only with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by all chemists and by the Dr. Wi'liams Madicine Company, Wellington, NZ-, who will forward (post paid), on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half-dozen for 15s 9d.

They are unrivalled as a tonic for both sexes, particularly in the present close and prostrating heat These pills are not a purgative, and will not injure the most delicate of const!' tutions.
