INFLUENZA.

ITS DREAD TERRORS AND FEARFUL CONSEQUENCES. HOW TO EFFECTUALLY GUARD AGAINST IT. Influenza is now rampant all over Australia and the greatest precautions possible should be taken to guard against it, as one has not only to contend with the malady itself, but with its fearful and devastating after-effects. That this is so is shown most clearly by the case of Miss Jamieson, of Autumn-street, Ashby, Geelong, Victoria. " Some few years ago," she told a reporter, " I suffered frcm a very severe attack of influenza. I could never get rid of its after-effects until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Although generally experiencing robust health previous to this attack, when at last I was able to leave my room I was almost of ghostly proportions—not at all like I am now. And I continued in this state for some time. I did not mind the weakness so much, feeling sure that would wear off in time with good nourishment. But in March of last year I commenced to experience great inconvenience from pains in my right side- I consulted a medical man, who said that it was merely the after-effects of the iuflucDza, and I was not to worry myself. But, as the pains continued, I did worry myself, and went to Melbourne to consult a specialist. He informed me that it was partial paralysis. He put me through a course of treatment that left me as I was, and I returned home fairly worn out. Whether the worry or the heroic treatment I had undergone was responsible or not I will not venture an opinion upon, but a week afterwards erysipelas set in on my face, and for weeks and months I suffered the greatest feony. In January a friend (a Mies of Eaglehawk, near Bendigo), came down to sec me, and one day she bought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When visitiog Melbourne I took them, and four days after the pain commenced to go away. I continued taking them for some time, and in all I used eight boxes, discontinuing them in August. From then until now I have not had the least symptom of a return of either complaints--complaints that I had not been free from for four years. lam 22 years of age. Scores know my sufferings, and the means of my recovery I am only too pleased to supply." A perfect blood-builder and a nerve restorer are to be found in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They positively cure rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, the after-effects of influenza, dengue aud typhoid fevers, and severe colds, diseases depending on humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arisiug from mental worry, over-work, or excesses of any nature. Ask your dealers for Dr. Williams' Pink fills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Sold by chemists and storekeepers generally, or the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, will forward, on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for three shillings, or half-a-dozen for sixteen and six-peuee.
