HE WENT TO THE RUSH.

A GOOD GOLDFIELDS YARN. Many a good yam is told by miners of ♦he old digging days in Victoria when moa -y was thrown about like water, and when scarcely a fortnight passed without some phenomenal find or rush being reported. Perhaps .the best story of this class wo have come across is one we clip from a < onteniporary («ova a Victorian journal). The gentleman most interested, Mr J. A. Francis, of 191 lleidleberg-road, Cliften Hill, Victoria, went to the Mt. Brown rush early in 1882, and ''e hassle prospect eJ in Parker’s United Jordons and on the Old shamrock. Speaking of the journey, Mr Francis says : “"My trip to the interior resulted in my returning with'little specie, and an attack of general debility, owing to insufficient food and bad water, which afterwards settled into what the medical officers of the Ballarat hospital (-.vhich I attended os an. out-patient), pronounced a ba 1 case of sciatica. ‘‘ I was then living at Black Bill, and for some years suffered the most excruciating pains At times the attack was most agonizing physically, and compelled me to assume the appearance of a bow. •‘Early in the current year,’ resumed Mr Francis, I came to Melbourne, and took op my residence with my married daughter here at Clifton Hill. She suggested that, as I had tried all other remedies and doctors had failed to accomplish any good, I should give the Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a trial. I obtained a box from.a storekeeper in Piahram and after the first day, although I had a severe attack on me, the improvement commenced. I kept at them constantly until 1 had taken three boxes. That was in March last, and since then I have baen entirely free from sciatica and general cl ability in any shape cr form.” “You believe your cure to be complete ? “So. complete”that lam seriously thinking of taking a run ove* to South Africa.” “In similar cases you would recommend Dr Williams’ Pink Pills as a remedy.” “Most decidedly.” The case of Mr Francis is one of many. Especially to old misers, and to all having < outdoor do we point this moral. They are genuine only with the full name “Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” and are sold by all chembsts or by the Dr Williams Medicine Company who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order oae box for 3s or half dozen for 16s 6-i. These pills have a remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St Vitus dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling arising therefrom, the after-effects of hi grippe, influenza, and severe cold", diseases depending on humors in the blood such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexioss and are a specific for the troubles pe.-uiar to the female system; in the case of men they effect a radical cure m all cases arising from mental worry overwork, or excesses of any nature. A trial of 'our remedy wilt convince the most sceptical.
