A LITTLE HEROINE.

The anxieties which agitate parents when their children are out of sight are sufficiently nerve- shaking, but the dangers that the little ones may fall into, even under the eyes of the most' devoted mothers, must be. watched for as earnestly. An instance, illustrating the truth of these remarks came to the notice of a ' Mail ' contributor, who called to verify the details. -J Ethel Jones is a little girl nearly four years did whose parents live at Enfield, near Oaroaru. Mrs Jones was at home when I paid my visit,' writes the pressman, ' and was pleased to talk about her little girl. I tell the fact in her own words :—: — ' Well,' she began, ' when Ethel was six months old she became exceedingly ill, probably through teething, and later on, congestion of the lungs sei

in, and, afterward?, consumption of the bowels. A leading doctor was consulted and subsequently another med^ical man, but baby was only given four months to

live. An operation was advised, but my husband and I shrank from the idea. Ethel was now so low, weak and emaciated that she could not even move. She suffered terribly from stomach pains, and, although frequently poulticed, she could not sleep. Night after night we Bat up with her. She was like this when a pamphlet came to the door, which showed that Dr Williams' pink pills had cared many suffering children. So we purchased some for Ethel, and gave them according to the directions wrapped round the box. When she had taken the contents of two boxes we saw she was regaining her health and strength ; the pains lessened and she was able to sleep, and, by persevering with Dr Williams' pink pills she became cured. Now she is in perfect health, and^ plays about happily all day long. Dr Williams' pink pills saved baby's life.' At that moment Ethel came running np — a beautiful picture of good health and childish beauty.'

Children suffer from mal-nutrition (inability to obtain benefit from food) and from many ailments which afflict grown-up people. What will remove the causes. of disease in an adult will do as much for children. Dt Williams' pink pills are a perfectly safe medicine for children, taken as directed. Rickets, weakness and failure to • get on ' yield with remarkable promptitude to this medicine, which is sold by chemists and storekeepers, and the Dr Williams' Medicine Co , Wellington, three shillings per box, bix boxes sixteen and six, psst free. Letters to the above address deecribing the sufferings of children or adults will be confidentially dealt with and the writers will be told whether these pills have been used with benefit in such cases or not.
