A LADY ATTACKED AND ROBBED AT BALLARAT.

9 The following remarkable communication has reached us from the mining centre of Ballarat: — A young lady, daughter of one of- the oldest residents and miners, Miss Fanny Simpson, of Victoria Street, says : " I was attacked by the most excruciating pains in my sides, and vomiting, which followed immediately after every meal. Mother took me to the hospital, and she was told my kidneys were affected. " The doctor said I had inflammation of the kidneys and incipient consumption ; but the medicine he gave me relieved me only for a time, and in a month I was as bad as ever. From that time until nine months since I have had a continual sequence of* sicknesses, and have been entirely robbed of good health. I have seen several doctors at different times, and one would describe my complaint as one thing and . another as something else. However, the last two seen decided I was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidneys, and commenced to treat me for such. But the more medicine I took the worse I got. March I noticed in a chemist's window in Sturt. Street some boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and both mother and I, having heard so much of their virtues, we decided to try a box, as mother said if they could bring some colour to my cheeks they would effect a remarkable achievement. We purchased some then and there, and I started to take them. The improvement was not long in asserting itself, and father was so pleased that he got me six more. I took the lot, and was thoroughly cured. Mother and father never expected me to recover; in fact, it was thought I was dying, and I attribute my restoration to health to Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People; they have worked wonders." This medicine has cured more than seventy-five hundred cases of diseases arising from impoverished blood, such as ancemia, pale and sallow complexion, muscular weakness, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, pains in the back, nervous headache, loss of memory, early decay, all form 3of female weakness, hysteria, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism and sciatica, scrofula, rickets, hipjoint diseases, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs. The public will study their own interests by demanding the genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Imitators are now in every corner of Australasia, and unscrupulous dealers deceive the public when they state that anything else is "just as good." The genuine pills are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark. They are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you, and should be avoided. Ask your dealers for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and . refuse all imitations and substitutes. Failing to secure the genuine, send to the Dr WiJHatns Medicine Company, Wellingtou, N."., yrho will forward, on receipt o£ stanips or posb order, one box for 3s, or half •dozon for 15s 9d. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment • comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment.
