WONDERS OF THE SPINE.

HOW IT ALTERS ITS LENGTH EVERY DAY. INTERESTING ARTICLE BY ENGLISH SCIENTIST.

A London physician has written an entertaining article on the spine. The backbone (he says) is really a chain of 25 to 30 bones strung upon a delicate spinal cord. He refers to the almost unknown fact that the spinal cord is longer in the laorning than it is at night, and the learned doctor goes on to explain that this is probably due to the clastic nature of the cartilage that separates the different sections of the backbone.

This strange medical fact is just an instance of how delicate a thing the spine is. Through its centro runs a spinal cord, which is connected directly with the brain, and from it nerves branch off in all directions. Indeed the spine is one of the most sensitive parts of the body. It is well-known to doctors that any disease near it is apt to cause serious spinal disturbances, such as curvativo, inflammation, paralysis, or epilepsy. These troubles are caused by rheumatism lumbago, kidney or liver disease, or by general weakness. In any case the one sure way to avoid injury to this delicato spine is to build up the strength and remove the foundation of dangerous diseases by purifying and enriching the blood. All doctors are agreed upon that. It is now recognised, not only in N.Z. and Australia, but in Europe and America as well, and there is no bloodbuildor and nerve-tonic to compnro with the prescription of the famous Edinburgh University graduate, Dr. Williams' pink pills for palo people. Of course, on account of the peculiar N.Z. climato, it is absolutely necessary to uso the pills made in Wellington for the special N. 2. formula. They are put up in wooden boxes, surrounded with English direction sheets, and they have to their credit hundreds of cures from every corner in Maoriland,

A case to point, that well illustrates tho remarks of the London physician on the sensitivo naturo of tho spine, is that of Mrs M. H. Holstcin, of Atca, near Eketahuna, between Wellington and Pahiatua.

"Until about four years ago,".writos Mrs Holstcin, (' I onjoyed splendid health, but a littlo touch of lumbago settled in my spine. The pain prevented me from standing up straight, and the weakness of my spino made walking impossible. The doctors gave mo only temporary relief. Patont medicines did mo no good. After suffering for months, I read in tho Wellington Post about Dr Williams' pink pills, so I tried them. They did not seem to be doing me any good, but I knew my trouble was a deeply seated one, so I persevered. Perseverance was rewarded, for these wonderful bloodbuilding and nerve-toning pills gradually eased my pain, strengthened my spine, banished my lumbago, "and mado me a I strong, healthy, happy woman again."

Of courso Mrs Holsfcein was very careful to obtain the genuino New Zealand Dr Williams' pink pills made in Wellington. She would accept no other on any condition. If you cannot obtain tho genuine pills with the full address, Wellington, New Zealand, on tho wrapper, write to tho Dr. William's Medicine Co., Wellington—three shillings a box, or six boxes for sixteen and six. You will then receive the'genuine New Zealand romedy which will cure all blood and nerve disorders, and so remove the foundation for such diseases as skin complaints, paleness, headaches, indigestion, palpitation, nervousness, neuralgia, rheumatism, lumbago, backaches, spinal trouble, sciatica, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, debility, decline, irregularities, and the effects of heavy colds and wasting fevers. Avoid all foreign substitutes in

glass bottles, and insist on having tho genuino New Zealand pills put up in wooden boxes, and bearing on the wrapper the full address, Wellington, New Zealand, plainly printed in red capital lottery
