A BABY'S TROUBLES.

l Mrs M. J. Jones, of Enfield, near Oarafaru, has given t<o a reporter particulars of the extraordinary illness of her ifittle. girl, Ethel. As the case is one interesting alike to parents^ and the medical profession, we reprint it. ' " Ethel's age as now three and a half y«*rs," said Mrs-Joh«fl^"but when she was ■'"'■ vv Sf - ; '-six months old

' * she was -taken •- ill, perhaps as the result of vaccination. The doctor who first ...' attended her eaid it was partly due to teething troub-^ „ les. ■ Later, on cognestion cf the lungs set in, and then consumption of the bowels. A second doctor was '■ called in, l)ut " «he was' then ift

,uch a terrible "stafe^at lie said, although .he" might liye a^^ght, she r could not £t more than fottf Jl months. He advised an operation, but 'my husband and I demurred. Ethel was new so ill that she could ' riot move. The stomach pains she suffered must have been excruciating ; She could not sleep on account of. tiiem, and we had to sit up night after night with ber We w«re again, told tliat she was past all medical treatment, and would Sever recover. She, however, had every attention, possible, but without 'beneficial «»ults Then we read of seme cures effected in children's cases, by Dr Williams pink pills for pale people. We were •truck by their- apparent truthfulness, and thereupon purchased a supply for baby. Bhe was little more .than a year old when •tee. began, giving them to her." fV Bow- long was it before an improvement was noticed?" said the reporter. . "When she had taken two boxes. The pains by that time has lessened greatly, and she was able to sleep soundly. We ga#e her the contents of several more oxes, . and we are pleased tc^ say she is no-vp in perfect health, and plays. about all day. You can see by her photo, how Btrong and happy she is. We always re-, fcoiiimend Dr. Williams' pink pills for children^ in return for the great amount of good 1 they did baby." The. dose for young children is one-third of « pill} children over tea may take a fcalf pill. The pills can be cut with a penknife and may be dissolved in water if necessary. Dr, Williams' pink pills are an ideal medicine for children, they are perfectly harmless, pretty to look at and sweet to- taste. Medicine-taking becomes a pleasure instead of a pain when they are used. In larger doses they have cured adults of anaemia, debility, rheumatism, I eciatica, neuralgia, St VitusV dance, hysteria, skin , diseases, bronchitis, ' coichronic ccJds, effects of pneumonia and influenza,, etc. Sold by chemists end-storekeepers and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings; six "boxes sixteen and six, post free. Be sure, you ask for Dr Williams' ; imitations ire often offered to secure greater profit.
