STRANGE* BTORY OF THE COAST

Mi's. B^M.,-Ry.au,- a. .first-class .passenger fnom" "Thane's"on" the Wellington boat,. wati ■tcvken^aeh}pj:e.at; the Avhayf arid carried to the Hospital in 'a speechless state. A good deal of . mystery surrounds the circumstances, and every effort has been made, to collect all possible evidence about the case of the unfortunate .traveller.

Mrs. Ryan, it appears,- is the Avife of Mr. Daniel Ryan, w-h'o is- Avell knoAvn in mdning. circles both at Hokitika, on the West Coast and in'Khe Thames Peninsula, where he has lived for the .last 20 yearn Mrs. Ryan took passage for Wellington to visit her daughter. She retired to her berth in apparent health, but Avoke in the night to find herself crippled: and speechless. When taken to the Hospital iti Avas found that her left (side Avas completely and hopelessly paralysed. After unsuccessful treatment in Wellington, the Hospital authorities sent her to her home in Kuaotunu, 20 miles from Coromandel, near Thames .and there Mrtf. Ryan Ava-s pursuaded to try Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. They restored poAvermid! strength to .her paralysed si-do in a way that Avas nothing short of marvellous. After taking two boxes her speech Avas restored and stie- Avas able- to give the reporter a graphic story of her stroke.

"The stroke left me absolutely lielpless," said Mrs. Ryan, Arhen seen with Mr. Ryan ab her home, Mae-kay street, Thames', "and I thank Di Williams' pink pills that I am, up and about to-day. For nine Aveeks I could not speak nov move. My lace was idfelorled in a terrible way, and my iinmit-hi drawn back to my ear. My food would not stay in my mouth, and really 1 Avas in a most) pitiable state. No good seemed to result from the kind treatment of the Wellington doctors and Hospital staff, but Dr. Williams' pink pills soon .struck at the cause of the trouble Avhen I Avent home to Kuaotunu. After the second box I noticed a great improvement, and in a feAV days I could get up ani! Avalk ou;fc to the kitchen. Then of course I picked up hope and kept on talcing these Avonderful blood and nerve pills. My mouth came gradually back to its right position, and my Avhole left side gained eloAvly in strength and power. I had to take thirty-eight boxes altogether," added Mrs. Ryan, "but you see how Avell I am now."

Mrs. Ryan's case, well known to Auckland, Thames, Kuatounu, and Coromandel ]>eople, proves that Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people have a mai-vellous power in curing diseases of the blood and nerves. Paralysis is one of the most terrible nervous diseases known, yet these famous pills .strike at the root of it, strengthen the nerves and carry nourishment and jiower through the blood to the paralysed parts. When they cure paralysis it i« no wonder they are so successful in overcoming beada.che«, St. Vitus's dance, fits, hysteria, neuralgia, sciatica, lumibagc, rheumatism, nervous prostration, debility and other minor diseases o fa similar kind. Of course, Mrs. Ryan wa« careful to get the .genuine pills, mad!e in Wellington to suit the New Zealand climate, and put up in small wood'on boxes. Foreign substitutes ncvei* cured anybody in Dunedin, ChrMchureh, Wellington, or Auckland districts.
