A FAIR CRITERION.

♦— Since the days of Eve the acquisition of perfect health and beauty of form has been the desideratum of every woman. Ninon de l'Enclos, the celebrated French beauty, attributed her health and beauty of form to the care which she bestowed upon her toilette. In these later days Dr Williams' Pmk Pills for Pale People have come to be regarded as an indispensable adjunct to a lady's dressing table, and to those suffering from the many ailments peculiar to her sex. In support of the statement, we append the case of Miss May Dickenson, who \tas miraculously cured of a very obstinate case of anaemia. Miss May Dickenson , was born at Soldier's Hill, Ballarat, Victoria, some eighteen years ago, -and lived there up to three years since, when her family removed to Tasmania, her father having purchased a selection on the "Seven." Shortly after her arrival in the tight little island, Miss Dickenson commenced to experience very uncertain health, which, as time went on, showed no improvement, and caused her parents considerable anxiety. Medical advice was sought, and various tonics advised and taken, but without any noticeable result. In the early part of the year, a change of air wa3 advised, and Miss Dickenson came back to Victoria, with a hope that her native air would succeed when " doctors' medicine " had failed. Having some relations in Essex Street, Ballarat East, Miss Dickenson took up her residence with them. Still she continued unwell, and again medical advice had to be obtained. Unable to take solid nourishment, she lost flesh to such an extent as to make it a labour to undertake any exertion. Nothing is more weakening than anaemia, or poorness of blood. Energy departs and leaves listlessness to fill its place, the. blood goes from one's lips and tongue, and a terrible pallor, ghastly to behold, is the result. " Could you not seek any nourishment ?" asked our representative, who met Miss Dickenson at her aunt's, Newry Street, North Pitzroy. " Well, a little, but most of it refused to stay. I had pains in my back, and had to sleep on my Bide. " Did you see any medical men in Melbourne?" "Yes, one, who said I was overgrowing my. strength, and gave me a tonic ; but in; spite of all advice and medicine, nothing; would stay on my stomach. One day I was in a chemist's in Brunswick Street getting a prescription made up, and the dispenser asked me if I had suffered much. On my replying in the affirmative, he said.. 'Why don't you try Dr Williams' PinlPills ? ' Somehow that took a hold on rue and I purchased a box, and commenced t> take them instead of my physic." " Did you receive benefit ? " "Yes; shortly after I commenced tt I take them, I experienced a vast improve , ment, and within a few days I ate my firs substantial meal for eighteen months, la a week I gained 61b in weight, and I kejt on improving until three weeks since, whm I felt justified in discontinuing them, haring taken seven boxes." " And you consider yourself fully cured" "Undoubtedly; and I can imagine tie surprise my friends will receive when.' l return to my parents next month." Complimenting Miss Dickenson on Ler very evident robust health, our represenfa,tive retired. The action of Dr Williams' Pink Pils for Pale People is directly on the blo«d, and thus it is that they are so famous :'or the cure of anaemia and rheumatism, w<ak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, tnd thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St ViWs dance and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists and by Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z.. at 3s a box, or six for 15s 9d, but are geniine only with full name on each box. See that your chemist gives you Dr Williams' and he does not substitute something just as good when making your purchases. The " just as good " kind cost him less money, and he is looking out for his pocket, not your health.
