SMARTLY RESCUED.
A SYDNEY LADY IN PERIL. The following particulars, just to hand, of a smart rescue effected under difficulties, should he of interest to most people. Mrs Davul I ret nail, of 257 Goul burn Street. Surry Hills, was the lady rescued. Mrs Bretnall, who is the daughter of Mr Paterson, a well-known storekeeper, of Glen Innis, New South Wales, received our representative most cordially. and willingly described the occurrence to him in the following terms : —“ It was at a picnic that I was suddenly attacked by the sharp shooting pains of neuralgia with so much violence that 1 suffered for
months after. The pains in my face, head and back, too, became especially violent in the evenings. My head ached eternally. When, after the long weary day had passed, it was wnh thereverse of pleasure that I sought my couch. It meant a long, agonising, sleepless night. Sometimes I could not help moaning the whole night long. 1 would arise in the morning feeling utterly worn out. My appetite completely left me. 1 became very thin, and my face assumed a most melancholy aspect. When 1 looked at it in the glass 1 could scarcely believe it was mine, so haggard and drawn had it become. 1 tried several so-called neuralgia cures, but they were utterly useless. Nothing appeared capable of lessening my suffering. At last my husband, reading of a case of neuralgia cured by Dr. Williams* pink pills, bought a box for me, he himself had derived great benefit from using the pills. I have used only three boxes, and they have completely cured me. All pains in face and back have left me. Headaches have vanished, my appetite and full ability to sleep have returned as of yore. The colour has come back to my cheeks, and I feel well, strong and happy. My husband can substantiate all I have said, and he will also l>e happy to a-dd his testimony to mine re the curative ]>ovvers of Dr. Williams’ pink pills.” Others who have suffered from rheumatism. neuralgia, paralysis, lumbago, diphtheria, pneumonia, fevers, bronchitis. consumption, St. Vitus’ dance, and diseases of the blood and nerves, are likewise happy to add their testimony in favour of Dr. Williams* pink pills.
