HILLSBOROUGH.

MRS AGNEW FELICITATED.

A well-known and highly-respected resident of Hillsborough (near Oneliunga), Mrs Jane Agnew, has lately been the recipient of many congratulations from her friends and acquaintances. One night, about twelve months ago, Mrs Agnew received a severe stroke of paralysis, but now she has completely recovered the use of her limbs, hence the eongiatulations. The paralysis left her right arm completely ’ useless.

and her left leg, from the hip joint to the knee, became quite dead to the touch. This sudden attack came on at night when least expected, and in the morning Mrs Agnew found herself a confirmed paralytic. Everything was tried that was thought to be useful. The sum of five guineas was paid for one electric belt, and £2 15/ for another, but neither of them relieved her permanently. Her husband sat up night after night rubbing her with liniments, but without avail. Nothing seemed to improve her, in fact, she soon became worse, for sciatica made its appearance in her back and iegs, and later on in her arras. She could uot make her own bed for more than a year, and was so helpless that she was not able to pull the bed clothes on top of herself. After she had suffered altogether for several years with the hot shooting pains of sciatica in portions of her body, and the deadness of paralysis in othei - portions, she was induced to try Dr. Williams’ pink pills. The first box did not appear to benefit her much, but after taking the second box, she says: “I then felt that they were doing me more good than I can explain. They seemed to take away the sciatica pains altogether and to strengthen me. My blood was enriched and began to circulate properly. My arm became alive again, the dead flesh on my thigh got to be as sound as it used to be, and my complaints one by one began to abate. I continued Dr. Williams’ pink pills for two months, and by that time was quite a new woman to what I was previously. No medicine that I have ever taken is to be compared with these pills. They should be in every household, for they are. undoubtedly, a blessing to humanity. Please publish my letter for the sake of other poor stricken sufferers. I can tell them they will find relief if they only use Dr. Williams' pink pills. 1 am quite sure that with God's blessing they have saved my life." Simple and earnest testimony like this must have its weight. That is why the sales of Dr. Williams’ pink pills are so large. They perforin what they are advertised to do. They have cured thousands of eases of neuralgia, rheumatism. consumption, lumbago, bronchitis, lung troubles, weak heart, pneumonia, diphtheria, fever. skin disorders, nervous prostration, ladies’ ailments, locomotor ataxia, and all disease of the nerves. They are a strengthening and efficacious tonic for ladies at critical periods, and are sold by chemists and storekeepers, mil by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z.: price, three shillings per box; six boxes, sixteen mil sixpence (post free). Be sure that all seven words- Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people—are printed in red ink on the pink outside wrapper, as these are the sort which Mrs Agnew recommends sufferers to obtain.
