It ; , .Was our duty to enquire into a case of i JajstJ alarm qriite 1 recently. Mrs S. D. Nelson, wife of the prflrJrietor of the S Pleasure* Grounds at Pearl Bay, '.'fltad lessee of Olontarf and its spacious " Sydn.ey, gave ns the following -'particulars : "It is not fib long ago," said " ih.B,' "tjioVftty hußbrtd, children, and '. ; riends considered my Ulße had c&tafe. ,1 : ;^4,b*e,en very , o yery .ill from acute 1 mdi,- , ses.tion-.-and -, g'eperal,. -nervous debility. ■ . „ Howevmv lam here pow, and < it , proved' - to be a, false alarm,, thanks to the marvel bus 1 oftrative properties of Dr Willia'ius 1 ' .< • Pink ~S illECfdr Pale .People, but I will tell whole case if yott care 1 to listep. ' \ Although I have been taking these mpdi- ■ 'cinesfor 15 years, it was not until 1888 —or eight years ago— that I felt myself becoming completely prostrated and un- ' nerved through the severe and continuous ■ attacks of acute indigestion and general - ' nervous debility. There was no mistak- ' ing the symptoms, and day by day I sank ' nearer the grave, until the family have " been-- actually gathered round me expecting me to die. So weak and enfeebled did I become that every particle of physical strength deserted me, and for 48 hours together I have lain helpless and eveu . unable to speak. For two days and nights At a time without cessation I used to suffer from the Most fearful throbbing ■■ headaches, until the agonizing strain was so severe that I hardly knew where! was, tffld oared not whether I lived or died. I ' freqnfehtly experienced the sorest of pains m tho chSst atid.stoittaah;,fti<a sb hot and • itr|tahle Sia my skin becotne.-.tjiat I COiildii'ji even.bear, to w§ar,my nightdress, whilst f. waß B 0 wea k that the bed-sheet em topof t me was too much, and even that , had to be dispensed with. A burning hot feeling spread round my throat, just as if - 1 had swallowed boiling water; the pain was excruciating and worse than the vilest : attacks of heartburn. There was always •-- a repugnant taste in my mouth, as if I'd ■* been sucking a penny. I'm passionately "'fond of oysters, but "I couldn't take one; ' and as the indigestion and nervous debility got worse and worse, I could neither drink milk or water. All solids had been long out. of the question, and it would have absolutely killed me had I taken any. Several dootors well up in thflr profession, in whom I had great confidence, and who now reside and practic& in Sydney and enburba, examined and presoribed for me. Out of kindness to me they did not toll me what they thought of the case. I knew well enough thai their ideas were all giprdssßd in two short but significant "words— Hor)el&s l Inonrablel TheyunBnfscessfjllly treated rue for acute indiges- - Idh; &hd they ieft the no better than they found me, although 1 once or twice 1 obained a little temporary relief, At last .'. : oorho . to au rieaf, crossing the line be- : ween life anil death its eter a woman did. ! watq.novt tpq weak to walk^S.hd, I could only stagger, falteringly, along the rcom, on by chairs and tables, thus drawing myself along. As my malady inoreased, so did my want of rest, and night or day I was utterly unable to sleep. Insomnia pursued me like a fiend. Then I ' became even worse, and the crisis arrived, "heightened, and accentuated, by serious domestio sorrow. For five long days and nights I lay helpless and entirely prostrated, utterly unable to swallow the softest particle of food or the smallest ' drop of moisture. My husband just kept me alive by moistening my lips with ■ brandy. All could see the crisis had come, and that the end was near. Grief, alarm, and resignation were painted ou the faces of those around me. One day, however, one of my sons brought home a bos of Dr "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and said, ' Ma, these pills are for pale poople ; you must try them. I've heard they've done a lot of good to others.' To please him I consentad, because I knew they 'would at least do me no harm. I took the pills. ■ The result was most astounding and to me miraculous. A short time after taking them I commenced to improve. My appetite returned, and I ate raven- - tMslyi My family was amazed. If I . had ioroSd food down my throat before I ' lad taken Dr Williams' Pink Pills it ,- would have killed me. But from then 1 rapidly improved. First I took one Pill at a time just before each meal, and after that two before each meal. My appetite - completely returned, and I relished all " Borts of food. 1 was able to sleep soundly and well, the pains left my stomach aud chest) the severe headaches became gpectres of the past, the coppery taste left my mouth, and my cheeks became pink instead of pallid. In two short weeks after just taking the pills I was up and about ana able to attend to my duties, and I was absolutely and completely cured of every malady I had suffered from in three Bhort weeks and two days. In addition to the total absence of indigestion and nervons debility, the irritation in my skin ■Vanished, and I was able to once more wear my corset and ordinary clothes with comfort. Now I can eat raw fruit going to bed without ill effect. Duving the past 18 years I have spent £200 in tonirs, cures and patent medicines without receiving the slightest benefit or surcease of pain." In conclusion she said, "Please recommend Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People to everyone. lam sure they will cure almost anything, and I'm only too glad to give you every partioular of my case for publication. Anyone who wants to see me will always find me at Pearl Bay, where I shall be very happy to tell them what I've told you."
