CAMPING WITH CONTRACTOR.

Chatting with Mr John McAvenuc, the leading contractor of Palmorston, a local reporter heard from his lips the story of a very unpleasant personal experience that is well worth publication. " For twelve yours," said he, " I have been a contractor in Palmcrston—and you know that a contractor's work is often filled with hardship and adventure. Wo often have to leave civilisation, and camp in the bush. If heavy rains of extreme cold come on wo simply have to bear thorn. Well, three years ago, I was one of a party that had a particularly rough time of it. Tho cold, wet, exposure and bad nourishment started tho sharp, shooting pains of neuralgia in my face and head," said Mr John McAvenue at his home, Boundaryroad, Palmerston, "and Dr Williams' pink pills were the only remedy that could rid me of my torment. It was just as if keen knives were cutting into the flesh. I was almost distracted with the agony. The rough living and tho cold also affected my kidneys, and a dull gnawing, dragging baokaehe plagued 'mo overy minute of the day. My work was sadly interfered with, and I was in a mighty bad way. I was miserable, despondent and run-down. When'l returned to civilisation I tried different |rcafments without success. At last { was persuaded by an article in tho Manawatu Daily Times to try Dr. Williams' pink pills for palo people, as many in Wellington, Auckland, and Christchurch told how they had cured, them of neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, i lumbago, backache, 'kidney ' diseases, 1 liver complaint, biliousness, headaches and other blood and ncrvo disoaeea, Certainly thevy cjit] for mo ail that was claimed for them—and more too. Every dose seemed to make- new 1 blood. They strengthened my system, soothed my nerves, am] banished my neuralgia. I'hoy cleared and liealed, my kidney's, made them work properly and stopped, the torturing backache. I took six boxes, altogether, and have never had tin attack, of neqralgia or b/iekacho since, ,, ptji-j. eluded Mr McAvcnuo, ''•despite tho fays (hat my work. stiH tak.es \\\a away frow Pahncrston into the bush whore living is of tho roughest."
