PLATT-BETT'S TOUR.
*■ •., : -* — — — -: . HIS PACER INTERVIEWED. An interview which the writer has had •with Mr Arthur L. Ryan, wiho acted as pacer to Platt-Betts during his tour through the States, 'calls to mind tHe intense excite ment which prevailed when that lightning ' cyclist visited Sydney. Asked about the -tour, Mr Ryan said':. — "Yes, I travelled with Platt-Beitts ail through tbe States, and was chief steersman for his pacing machines. We were Tery fortunate all the time, for we never had a smash up. This I attributed partly to my steadiness of hand, which was really due to Dr Williams' pink pilla for pale people, for before that I had suffered for two or three yeaiis from indigestion amd nervWs exhaustion. I had no appetite, could not relish my food, and after meals was troubled with wind and drowsiness. I could not sleep well, and when 1 1 rose in the morning I felt tired and weak, my nerves became somewhat unstrung, amd I lost weight considerably. Mr L. W. Pye, the well-known ohemist of Church. Street, Parramatta, recommended me to try Dr Williams' pink pills, .and Iv. did so. Two boxes greatly benefited me, and before long my appetite returned. Now I eat well, sleep well at night, and am free from every trace of indigestion, debility, or unstrung nerves. I certainly owe my return to health to Dr Williams' .pin£ pills, and since using them ' I"'Bave ixot only toured the States with iPlatt-Betts, but have won jfive handicaps in cycling races, and have' paced for the Dunlbp Tyire Company — so you see my cure has been .a, thorough one." Cricketers; cvclisfcs and all athletes will find in Dr Williams' pink pills a perfect, remedy for weakness, unsprung nerves, sleeplessness, dyspepsia, loss of strength ond such disorders. They enrich the blood, tone up the nerves and strengthen the spine. They also cure rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, liver .and kidney troubles, ( skin diseases, consumption amd decline, ' diarrhoea, chest complaints, etc. Prom chemists and storekeepers, and the Dr Wil-liams-Medicine Cb., Wellington, three shillings, per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
