FEVER AND INFLUENZA.

MISS IDA HOLBEIN’S EXPERIENCE. Miss Ida Holden, whose private address is 3 Victoria Parade, Melbourne, is a talented young descriptive vocalist, who has won laurels at the Alhambra, Sydney, with the Cogill Brothere, with Messrs York and Jones, and with other companies. She has recently been fulfilling a seven months' engagement in West Australia, a place where the sanitary arrangements are such as to make visitors fearful, of, and consequently especially susceptible to, any epidemic. Miss Holbein writes: ‘Whilst in West Australia I was attacked by influenza, and as I had heard so much about sickness in the West, I felt very bad. ‘What with burning head and pains I felt like to die. I knew that I could not do justice to myself or to my work. The doctor could only give me the consolation that the attack rnu.st wear itself out, and that I must be patient. I could not be patient, and my friends, seeing that the feverish symptoms were growing worse, determined to try the effect of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Acting under their advice I took several boxes. The effect has been marvellous. The fever and the influenza rapidly disappeared, and have left no trace behind,'except rny gratitude to the Dr. W illiams’ Medicine Company for having placed their Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People before the public of AustXlasia.’
