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 trat. She is ever ready to speak of her escape which was brought about by an accident. In talking to our reporter, she said : " I might have been suffering still if I hadn't had the good fortune to drop on a paragraph in the papers describing a cure of indigestion—which I myself was afflicted for lS^years—by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Though I always had indigestion with n.e, it came on mush more violently at times than was usual. The attacks were at first comparatively light, but as yeara 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 t* eat some light food it would He on my chest 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 feel 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 suddenly from a sitting posture; I also suffered from a continual bad breath and unpleasant taste in the mouth. I also had bad bilious turns. I wps not as you ccc me now, but was much thinner, wiih 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 cone of them did me an atom of good. At length I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The effect was astonishing; after taking them for unly a short time the attack I was then suffering 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." A remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the bloou or an impairment of the nervous system, such as all sk;.n troubles, rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, looomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, the aftereffects of la grippe, dengue and typhoid fevers, and sevore colds, diseases depending on humors of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., is possessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases aming from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature, A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical The genuine Dr; Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two inches in length, each of which is encircled by a blue warning label. The outside wrapper has the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 16s 6d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate.
