OBJECT LESSON IN GRATITUDE

Mrs W. J. Oxenbridge of Tia Diggings Waloha. (N.S.W.), is the heroine of a remarkable report in the district newspaper. Sincerity and gratitude (says the reporter) were ihe predominant notes of Mrs Oxenbridge'a story, and the thing she most impressed upon me was. her earnest desire in the public interest, for the full facts to 1 be published.

Living on the Tia Gold Diggings, Mrs Oxenbridge i% a type of woman, happily not uncommon, in whom great kindness of disposition, is allied with a fund of practical common sense. At the age of 16, she said she exnerienced gnwe cause for alarm owing to fainting fits and violent heart palpitations to which she became a victim. Since then, though she is 34, she has not until lately enjoyed good health.

"I was always tired amd languid)" she said. "My appetite was seldom goodj my sleep was often broken. My nervous system was run down, and no medicine benefited me permanently. I consulted several doctors, but did not receive relief. I had almost given up my case as hopeless and was trying to face a life long ill health with! as much endurance as possible, \vhem a friend, induced me to commence Dr Williams' pink pills In a fortnight I wart very surprised to feel bettef. I continued with them* and day by day improved. Gradually fainting fitsl, heart pa.lpitation, weakness, and' insomnia disjvnnearedr and I am no*w in .perfect health. I know others who 1 have bene fitedl by Dr Williams' pink pills, and out of gratitude for 1 my cure I recommend them to all my friends."
