DISCOVERY-AT WOOLLAHRA
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES A report having Teachpd us that* a*dts covery had been made at Woollahra which would prove of great interest to the general' public, we at once dispatched, a ' reporter lo 'th<S scene of iuterest to gather full and reliable information. We are indebted to Mr Ed. Barsley, pianoforte tuner,, , of 19 WajverleyTroad, f-)r , the description supplied. This gentleman very courteously received our representative, and in reply to him, said,:— "l have, been resident in Australia fotj the greater part of my life, and have seen but little of my native heath, having come out here with my parents at a very early" age. I am a pianoforte turipr by pro^ fea«ion, and am well known throughout the colony ; this latter fact should add weight to my statements. "Now t ideal with tha subject, of your visit. I have on and off for the last 15 years been a martyr to rheumatism,, and, indeed, have quite recently recovered from a very severe attack. My discovery iB that Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are an unfailing remedy for this torturing disease, and to emphasise my case I must tell you that each of my ail* ments— for I had' more than one; as you wj[ll iearn later-£v|ere so formidable ; as said r 'to v be iy incurabTe by the hospiVals and doctors by whem I was treated. Towards the end of April laßt.ye&rl had a very bad attack of rheumatism, and this was accompanied by a swelling' in *he~ groin, but without pain. A chemist gaye 'me some liniment to rhb' 6» the" affected part, but this brought temporary relief ouly. After I went to work again for two or three days, but was soon compelled- to give in," being unable to continue any longer. I then consulted adoctltr." " Was his treatment successful V "No, he told me mine was an exceptional case, and he could' give me but little assistance; that I was Buffering from a complex trouble — hip' joint disease with locomotor ataxia. My eyesight was a]u failing ; this, he said, often accompanied cases of ataxia. An eminent oculist told me that it was a case of optic atrophy." 11 What did you do then, Mr Barsley?" " I went to three different hospitals in all, and came out no better than I went in. A friend I met in one hospital asked me if I had given Dr Williams' Pink Pills a- trial ; I said 1 had not. My friend at once advised me to do so, adding that he kne^'of some wonderful cures they had effected in cases of locomotor a*axia." " Did you follow his advice I ",X amrpjoiced to sey I did." "With what nsult?" " Well, by the time I had taken three ' boxes I felt better, and for this reason determined to go on with them. The benefits derived from continuing the treatment are very evident. I can now move about fairly well, getting up and down stairs without any assistance, whereas when I left the hospital I could only crawl about with difficulty. lam returning to my usual avocation of pianoforte tuning, and that, as you know, rt quires a clear head and the use of one's limbs." " And you feel equal to it, Mr Barsley?" "I feel quite t qnal to i*, and more too, for I shall be constantly travelling through the colony, and of this X shall be doubly glad, as it will afford me a valuable opportunity to bnnij sufferers and sceptics face to face with practical proof of the wonderful curative powers possessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." For the information of sufferers from hip disease, we would specially mention that in connection with the above marvellous cure fhat the hip bone was dislocated, necessitating the muscles and tissues doing extra duty for it. Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cured numerous cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, spinal disease, rheumatism, and sciatica ; also of diseases arising from imppverishment and vuiated humors of the blood, which cause scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs, at;secoia, pale and sallow complexion, general muscular weakness, loss of appetite, palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache, early decay, all forms of female weakness, and hysteria. These Pills are not a purgative. They are genuine only with the fiill name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by chemists and by Dr Williatrs' Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half-dczen for 153 9J. They are unrivalled as a tonic for both sexes.
