"Yes, I have had plenty of what you call 'roughing it,'" said Mrs Elizabeths Knight, one of Masterton'si earliest residents, to a press representative who calSed to talk over the good old days with her. 'I am nigh seventy years of age now, and I have done my share of work. We settled in Tenui, Castle Point, thirty years ago., when there was nothing but giant'bush around. 'Somehow or other the larger town didn't suit me when I came from Castle Point to live in Masterton. Indigestion and kidney troubles' made my life miserable till Dr Williams' pink piJls gave me relief," explained Mrs Knight. "I was attended with the best medical skill in Masterton, but doctors' medicines could not euro me. I was often bilious, and had at tacks of dizziness, so that my head would swim round and round. I felt genera'ly miserable and despondent. If I ate a decent meal I suffered torture afterwards, so that I had to half starve myself. A few of these pills, however, really did me a world of good, and I continued taking them till I was quite cured. Indigestion, biliousness and kidney troubles have gone now, and I feel almost as well as when I lived in Tenui, Castle Point, twenty years ago " • Mrs Elizabeth Knight is as hearty a colonist as one could tee in all New Zealand. Sha is a natdve of Hampshire, England Dr Williams' pink pills cured her because they enriched her blood and gave> her digestive organs the strength to rle their work| properly. By building up the blood they cure anaemia, debility, headaches, backaches, lumbago, rheumatism, liver troubles, and all skin diseases. By toning up the nerves they cure neuralgia, sciatica., hysteria, st. vitas' dance and nervous exhaustion.

The gen vine pills ara always in wooden boxes. Refuse to wast 3 your money on pink pills sold loose or in small glass bottles. Get the kind that has benefitted thousands of New Zealanders, including Mrs Elizabeth Nnight, who chats so entertainingly of the early daysi about Masterton.
