TREKKING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

. »■ ■ Few of our hardy waggoners (says a Canterbury paper) have, to us© an appropriate Boer word, "trekked" under greater difficulties than Mr Robert Clucas. This' soon became evident in .the course of a chat which our representative tad' with him. " Often I have had to go about in my wet clothes all day long," said Mr Clucas. "Night after night I have lain in damp ,blankete, exposed to frosts and rain, with the result that many years ago rheumatism and sciatica laid hold of me. My legs, arms and shoulders ached with rheumatism, whilst sharp shooting pains in my thighs were i due to sciatica, so I was told. "You must have been almost a cripple," remarked the interviewer. " Indeed, I was,"- said Mr Clucas. " For over six months I could not walk outside the house without a crutch and stick. Even a door-mat formed an impassable barrier. Through the continual pain I have gone for over a week without sleep. I lost all taste for food, and grew so ihin and emaciated as to be hardly recognisable. I had good medical treatment, and every attention at home, and when these means failed I tried patent medicines, but they also proved useless." " But what is the secret of your activity now?" " Well, I make no secret of it," said the now stalwart waggoner. "I noticed some time ago how truthful the testimonials concerning Dr Williams' pink pills seemed to be, so I sent for a box, and after using its -an tents felt better. Another supply was bought for me, and as I continued taking these pills, the pains of sciatica $nd the" aches of rheumatism began. .to abate; later on every trace of these diseases left me, and now I have the full use of all my limbs and faculties. A day's hard work has no effect on me now. Since my lecovery several friends have taken Dr Williams' pink pills on my advice, and they have all been benefited." The experience of Mr Olucas, who resides in Oxford, Canterbury, shows that Dr Williams' pink pills are both a bloodbuilder and nerve tonic, for they cured him of rheumatism (caused by impure blood), and of sciatica (blood disorder). For the same reasons they cure neuralgia, lumbago, St Vitus' dance, hysteria, rickets, scrofula, bronchitis, consumption, dysentery, skin diseases, etc. From chemists and. ' storekeepers, and the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three "shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Nervous sufferers without energy and ambition, and ladies afflicted with, irregular health, will find that these pill's increase t&e blood supply, restore the wasted tissues and bring about complete health and happiness. 1988
