TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT HOBART.

THE PATIENT SENT OVEH TO SYDNEY HOSPITAL.

Advices to hand convey the news of a terrible accident having befallen a wellknown and highly-esteemed resident of Hobart. The unfortunate sufferer has, as the result of her mishap, been afflicted with locomotor ataxia, an affliction that has in the past baffled the skill of the ablest physicians, and been pronounced by them as incnrable. Mrs Nellie Denver, who now resides at Countess Cottage, Double Bay (Sydney), was kind enough to grant an interview to our reporter, who called to investigate her case, and narrated her experience as follows:— * About six years ago, when residing in Hobart, Tasmania, I bad the misfortune to meet with a serious accident, which I subsequently discovered had serionsly injured my spine, although, strange to say, I felt no ill effects for about two years after. I then commenced to suffer from great weakness and dizziness and an Intolerable feeling of exhaustion. I did not seek medical attendance at first, but when I at last became aware of the serious condition I was persuaded by my friends to go to the Sydney Hospital, where I remained two months without receiving any permanent benefit. On leaving the hospital I again rather neglected my state of health, and on applying for re-admission was informed that my case was perfectly hopeless. I obtained admission to the Newington Asylum, where I remained seven months; yet still I got no better, being unable to swallow any nourishing food. I then took two courses of electric baths, for which I paid six guineas, and with the exception of some alleviation of my suffering I cannot say that they did me much good ; in fact I conld not even walk, so I imagined that there was no cure in store for me. One day, on reading the daily paper, I noticed an account of a marvellous recovery effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and considering that this case (the one of Boilermaker Jarvis, suffering from locomotor ataxia), closely resembled mine, I determined to make a trial of them. I experienced relief after the first box, and have steadily improved ever since ; my appetite returned, and I ceased to suffer from that terrible feeling of nervousness. lam now in my seventh box, and can confidently assert that I am most decidedly Improved in health. My friends also noticed a marked improvement in my condition, and this I entirely attribute to the health-giving properties of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; in fact, it must be solely due to them, for I have tried no other remedy. The proprietors of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are at perfect liberty to make whatever nee they may think fit of this statement, for I feel deeply grateful for the benefit I have derived from them.’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure rheumatism, neuralgia, locomotor ataxy, St. Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, and prostration, diseases of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health, are a specific for all the troubles peculiar to the female sex, and in men cure all cases arising from worry, overwork or excesses.
