A SUCCESSFUL RABBIT TRAPPER.

One of the best shots and rabbit trappers around the district in which he resides is William F. Byrnes, of Toolern, near Melton, on the Bacchus Marsh line, Victoria. “In fact,” said Mr Byrnes to a reporter recently, “I am ever in my element when out on the hills trapping rabbits and securing game. Frequently Igo away for days at a time, and my experiences have been many and are worth relating. Some time ago. however, I had to relinquish my trappings and shooting excursions on account of an attack of galloping consumption, which at one time four noted doctors in Melbourne declared to be incurable.” Mr Byrnes said that he also suffered from tuberculous affection of the hip, great prostration, night sweats, a persistent hacking cough, loss of appetite, and an entire inability to move about. So bad did he become that he was removed to the Melbourne Hospital, where a very delicate operation was performed upon his hip. But this operation, although conducted under the most favourable auspices, and by the most skilful surgeons, scarcely brought the relief which was desired, and young Byrnes left the hospital in almost a dying condition. In fact the phvsicians recommended his removal to the Austin Hospital for Incurables. But By rnes family brought him home instead. as they thought his dying moments would be more peaceful in his own home. Several professional men also examined him and declared the case to be incurable. The persistent racking cough that every now and again attacked him became more severe than ever, and after a fit of coughing he would lie back upon the pillows so weak, white and exhausted, that the nurse would think his last moment had come. In fact a local minister was called in on one occasion, so certain were bis family’ of his inability to live more than a few hours. But his relatives heard cf the fame of Dr. Williams’ pink pills and their wonderful efficacy, and at this stage they purchased a supply for him. The first few doses did not seem to benefit him much, but by the time he had taken a box he breathed more freelv and the cough quietened down, and' when he had'used three boxes a wonderful improvement was apparent. The medicine was carefully continued until eight boxes had been taken. Day by day he increased in appetite and strength; he assimilated his food properly; the glow of health came to his eheeks; and his lips appeared full and red instead of pale and bloodless. At the end of a month he was able to leave his bed and walk about a little. Day’ by day his strength increased, until he was placed in absolute health and strength. Now he is strong and vigorous, and goes on his rabbit, trapping and shooting excursions for days at a time. All his skill has come back to him. and he thanks the day on which he took Dr. Williams’ pink pills, which the whole district declares raised him from his death bed. Dr. Williams’ pink pills cured Willie Byrnes because they—unlike other medicines—struck at the root of the disease and not at the symptoms. For the same reason this valuable remedy has effected cures in serious cases of diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia, typhoid and scarlet fevers, measles, paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, scrofula, eczema, anaemia, ladies’ ailments, vital losses, and all disorders of the blood and nerves. Enormous sales create imitators, so be certain to buy packages upon which the full name in red ink is printed on the white wrapper.
