A HUMAN POST OFFICE.

DOCTOR'S QUAINT CONCEIT1. A -witty doctor has described the brain as the (jenei-al Post Office of the human system, and the nerves as the teltegraph wires carrying messages to and from, every part of the body. The delicate spinal cord running down the centre of the backbone is the matin telegraph linei—the minute nerve fibres that branch off to every part are the branch lines—and the brain is both the central nervous battery and the great receiving and despatching office for all the i\rvous messages. This intimate connection between the brain and nervesi explains why any brain disease affects the nerves, and why ordinary nervousness is fc to develop into serious brain trouble. Curijously enough ,thas quaint descrip- >' i of the Doctor has just been illustrated rind proved by the remarkable case of Mr Charles Wunsen, whose age is sixty nine. "No doubt," said Mr Wunsch, "it. was the early hardships on the West. Australian goMfields that" affected my nerves. At thaS time I felt really little pffcr-t in the West, but"after coming to Taranaki, and settling in Normanby. sciatira cripp'ed me, and but for Dr Williams 1 pink pills. I would probably be an Invalid still. Winter weather was the worst for me. My nerves and muscles seemed jangled and knotted. Sharp, shooting pains .came in my left thigh and knee. Every movement caused agony so intense that for months together I dared not use my leg. ( I took several medicines and had do ' >i^ treatments, but the pains continued. Eighteen months ago. when in New Plymouth. 1 saw Dr Williams' pink pills advertised in the Taranaki Herald as a nerve-tonic. I tried them. One boxful soothed the nerves and made the muscles bend easily. At the end of the fourth box the pains left me altogether, and I have had the full use of

my limbs ever since. Although I am nearly seventy, my health is better than it has been for years." Messrs J. Hunt, Hawke's Bay; R. Glucas, Canterbury; A. W. Pearce, Napier; W. Pickworth, Ota go; D. Smith. Dannevirke and R. Thomas, Christchurch, are amongst those cured by Dr* Williams' nink pills of nervous ailments. These pil'fe are specially manufactured to suit om peculiar climate. Accent no box which has? not the words, Wellington New Zealand, in red on the pink outside wrapper. These are the kind specially made for N.Z. Avoid pink pills in glass bottles or with American or Spanish wrappers ; they are not manufactured specially for N.Z. The genuine N.Z. pills soothe, heal nnd strengthen the brain, nerves and sjMne. They cure such nervous diseases as neuralgia, sciatica, sti. vitus' ddancc, hysteria, headaches, insomnia and loco-motor ataxia. By building up the blood they cure, anaemia, debility, indigestion, backaches, rheumatism and other diseases caused by impure blood. Mr C. Wunsch is a cabinetmaker by trade, and resides at Normnnby, near Kawera, Taramaki. His experience serves to illustrate happily the Human Post Office Theory of the witty English Doctor.
