GIRL'S LIFE TRAGEDY.
Tbe tragedy of an Onebunga girl's life, as told in detail by her to a reporter, affords a valuable lesson to all. The lady is Miss Druscilla Cunningham, of Selwyn Street, Onehuugo. Upon being interrogated Bbc gave the following account : — ' I can very truly claim,' said she ' that for my age — I am only eighteen — I have passed through more troubles than .most women. From my earliest years I was weakly and subject to heavy colds, so that when two years ago 1 was attacked by bronchitis I was ill prepared to withstand it. I became very feverish, a continual cough racked my frame, ray breathing was oppressed, my chest was exceedingly paicful. I grew weak, thin and pale, and exposure to changes of temperature caused violent fits of coughing, sometimes bringing up blood.' ' Ton have had more than your share of tragedy,' said the reporter. ( But more was to come,' said Misa Cunningham, ' for the bronchitis brought on consumption. I grew weaker and more emaciated, and suffered from the usual symptoms of consumption. I was very frail and despondent when one day I read that Dr Williams' pink pills were able to cure consumption. Somehow I seemed to believe in them — the testimonials seemed so true. After taking two boxes of the pills I certainly felt better. I continued with tbem for some time longer and was gradually restored to robust health. Now every symptom of bronchitis and consumption has gone, and 1 am stronger and happier than ever I was. i I really cannot recommend Dr "Williams' pink pills too highly.* By replacing tbe lost blood and increasing the resislent power of the Lungs, Dr Williams' pink pills have cured many cases of couuumption They so increase the patient's strength that he* or she is enabled to rally from 1 the weakness, and eventually to throw off consumption and other ailments. These pills have cured many cases of rheumatißm, sciatica, lumbago, effects of influenza and pneumonia, anaemia, debility, weak heart, skin diseases, St. Vituß' dance, paralysis, etc Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings, six boxes sixteen and six, poßt free. They contain no poison aud cannot harm the most delicate child or lady.
