A CHANNEL ISLANDS BOY.

* STARTS BUSINESS IN ASHBURTON. From the rugged coasts of the Channel Islands to the smiting luxuriance of New Zealand is a far cry, but there is a man amongst us, aMrP.B. Robilliard, who has travelled tJh© distance a nd become one of us (saya a Ohristchurch paper). From Mr Robdlliard's own, lips we obtain the following : — ■ " I was born," said he, "in Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, and came out to ehristcaurch when a boy. Sixteen monflis ago I settled in Ashburton, commencing business in East Street as a watchmaker and jeweller. A Channel Islands boy generally has a strong constitution, and. until a year year ago J did not know what ill health meant. But possibly througlh. overwork I became run down. Indigestion set in, and then debility. After meals there was a terrible tightness across my chest, and I felt dull and -drowsy, and' suffered greatly from pain in the small of my back. Although I tried many alleged remedies, none of them benefited me, and I became; such a sufferer from the pains of indigestion that I dared not eat a proper meal j thus I naturally grew weaker. Then I read in the papers how Dr Williams' pink pills had cured many dyspeptics. I purchased a supply and began taking them. After the first box my appetite improved a little, and Hhe pains after meals were not so severe. Another box completely cured me. Every symptom of debility and indigestion has disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now." By restoring toncto the digestive organs and enabling them to extract nourishment from the food taken ; Dr Williams' pink pills restored Mr Robilliard to good health. Being a nerve tonic and blood builder they cure paralysis, looomotor ataxia, rheumatism, sciatica, ansemia, scrofula, eczema, rickets, consumption of the bowels and lungs, pale and sallow, complexions, heart palpitation, early decay, hysteria, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen shillings and six, post free.
