Richard Harris, Normanby

Dying of Bright's Disease Sound in c.very Part To-day Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

"it gave ir.c a. shock, I can tell you, when lJio doctor down ia C'liriotchurch toll me I had While ludney ' baiJ .Air Richard Harris, ot Norinanby. "For a long tune, i Had Ijclii in agony with my bacK, aim 1 knew l*!->idea t-iuu my fc:une\<s were all w.oug. Jmt 1 ji.'vvi dreamed 1 was- u a !ar gone a-> 1 was. Tnc doctor said tlul ii vviu, a bad lorm oi linglits DiaeroL* ana u.;luiug could ciuo we. 1 would nut have iaaUi the year out" it I haJn'i v-meu Dr William* I'iak Pills. They caved my Inc. They set me light inside of two months— and I have never had a thing the matter with me since.' Hicha'id Harris, ot Noimaniiy, is a splendid stamp ot Britisher. He is the picture ot health and strength to-day— a. iiin* up-standing man. just ~vor timty. It is now twenty years and more since he came to New Zealand, and he has lived in. the Ha,\vke'& Bay, Canterbury and Taranaki districts. In Haw-era., Akavoa and Dannevirke he is as well known at he is in Normanby. At the time of his illness, -Mr Harris was living at Belfast, just outoide Christchurcli. "I blame all my kiunoy trouble on a wrench I gave my back one day while working nt the Belfast Freezing Works," said Mr Harris. "I was yarding up somr cattle, and my horse wus very restive All of a -.uddr-n, the brute shied. and nearly lii'ih'i m" out of the saddle. I fel. sometliins j."ve way in my back.^ It was liko tlit> brpaking of a bone or the tearing ot something or other out of ite place. When I got off my horse. I couldn't straighten myself. I was doubled up with agony. For weeks after that, "a sharp stab caught me every time I stooped. Plveu when I lay still, there was an everlasting dull pain in the small of my back. Whenever I moved, it wa* like getting the muscles torn out. If was no common rick in the back — that was plain. It got so bad, they had to get the doctor lo me. I couldn't get anything out of him at first — but at last he told me straight that my kidneys had been torn out of place and were all inflamed. "By that time, my health had gone to pieces iv twenty ways. I hadn't been able to eat a square meal since the day of that accident in the stock-yard. Often the smell of the dinner was more than enough for me. As soon as I saw it on the tahle, it turned me sick. Before I could get into my clothes in the morning, these sick turns used to come on. Everything swam round and round, and a thumping pain started in the back oi my head. When I looked at myself in the shaving glass, thpre was no getting away from the fact that I was a very sick man. "In a few months, the Bright's Disease had pulled me down to a wreck," MiHarris went on. "I lost all my old energy. I couldn't shake off that don't care-a-hang feeling. All life and ambition left me. My legs wore so shaky that my knees went from under me every few steps I took. My muscies got soft and flabby, and I dropped weight. 1 could feol that I was losiag strength every week. It's a puzzle to me h«w I hung on to my job so long. It js no ea&y work in the slaughterhouse. There is always a lot of and lifting to do — and that is what beat me. Onct I bent down, 1 couldn't get up again. A sharp pain caught me like a cramp as soon as 1 tried to straighten up. Many a time I have gone down, doubled up altogether with the agouy. The pain made me catch my breath and gasp. "In the cold weather. I was worse — but rain or fine, I was always weak and sore across the back. Tht^re was a dull dragging ache there thai I couldn't get away from. At night, it was just as bad. It was nothing out of the way lor me to lie awake till three or Tour o'clock i« tne morning. Time and again I doubled the pillow up and put' it under my back to try to get a little ease. As a rule, I had to get up* two or three times in the night. For six months, I went on suffering like this, till I lost all heart. I was too miserable and wrelcned to speak to my best friend. The doctor did his best for me — but I kept going from bad to worse. The poison from my kidneys got all through my system. My bight got bad, and my heart was all out of order. Sometimes it jumped anu thumped till I could not catch my breath, it was only a question of a few months at the most. I gave up all hope, and just waited for the end. "But my old friend, Treadwcll, would not let me talk that "Way," added Mr. Harris. "lie kept at mo to give Dr \\ iiliams' Pink Pills a trial. He worried me into it at last, so I sent to Cook and Ross, th© chemists down in Colombo St., for half a dozen boxes. It wasn't a bad sign when the first box made me hungry for the first time in months. I picked up heart, and swore that I woudn't knock off -vith i>r Williams' Pink Pills till they cured n.< . No more I did. Little by little the luiiu --eased down in my back. 1 slept better, eating more than anyone else in the house, and my back was as uound as any man's. When I was on my' last box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, I saw that my kidneys were acting as well ats ever. They have never given me any trouble ifrom that time on — and neither has my back. Dr Williams' Pink l'ills cured me for good."
