A PECULIAR DECLARATION.

ODD OATH OF AN HOTEL MAN. Mr Sydney Woodville, now employed at Yeoman's Agricultural Hotel, HaymarkeJ;, Sydney, to a reporter from the Sydney Worker, said : " I shall be pleased to give you an account of my. cure by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I hope you will print it, as I believe there must be many people suffering in the way that I did, and who might be easily cured if they would only try the proper remedy. It was . last summer that I was taken ill whilst working for a well-known storekeeper, at Eockhampton. It's a trying climate up there, and I overtaxed my strength. Very gradually I' began to lose my health. Work that I used to find quite easy I could now only do with difficulty, and often I had to take a spell of five or ten minutes right in the middle of a job. My appetite, too, was very uncertain ; sometimes I couldn't look at a meal, and the sight of food made me feel quite ill. What I did eat did me no good, and consequently I got thinner and weaker daily. I still struggled on, however, hoping every day that I should get a turn for the better ; but at last 1 was positively not strong enough to do the easiest work, so I took a spell. Meanwhile, I got some rather strange symptoms which alarmed me. My hair began to fall out, and I grew so irritable that I couldn't bear the slightest sound. I couldn't sleep at nights except in fits and starts, and my memory began to fail me. I lost altogether 16 pounds in weight, which is a good deal to lose in two months' time. It was a regular case of collapse, and I went to a chemist at Eockhampton, who had a good look at me, and, I can tell you, I was not a very pretty sight, being by this time very thin and yellow. He said, I think you'd better try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I am thankful to say I took his advice, for I commenced to slowly improve shortly after taking the pills, and was very soon able to work again. I soon picked up my lost flesh, and in two months' time from first starting the pills was quite well. I know as a positive fact that two ladies, who were rather sickly, hearing of my cure, tried the pills with a splendid result. I shall be pleased at any time to give anyone further particulars as to my cure, which I put down entirely to Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I only wish I had tried them before, as I believe if I'd taken them in time I should never have broken down at all. I could now, if required, undertake sixteen hours' work a day. In order to place my cure beyond doubt, I have made a statutory declaration, which you will find attached to this." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Sydney Woodville, of Yeoman's Agricultural Hotel, Haymarket, Sydney, in the colony of New South Wales, do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare as follows: That I have read the testimonial hereunto attached, and the same is a true account of my illness and cure by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People/ And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and passed in the ninth year of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled " Ah Act for the more effectual abolition of oaths and affirmations taken and made in the various departments of the Government of New South Wales, and to substitute declarations in lieu thereof, and for the suppression of voluntary and extraiudicial oaths and affidavits."
