A CHARMING DANSEUSE.

Since the introduction of the Skirt Dance, Terpsichore has more than doubled her teachers and pupils. An adept amateur performer is Miss Daisy Bithrey. The elegance and ease with which this charming little lady of twenty accomplishes the difficult poises and turns fully merit the applause which her appearance always secures.

.\s a reporter of the “Balmain Observer’’ to me was deputed the agreeable task of interviewing Miss Bithrey, at her home, 15 Ann Street, Balmain. My first question: “Are you fond of dancing, Miss Bithrey?” elicited the reply: ‘Yes, very, especially fancy dancing.”

“And your last public appearance?” “Was eighteen months ago. I was then compelled to forego dancing owing to severe and repeated attacks of neuralgia. But I shall soon get to work again,” added she, enthusiastically, “for now there are no excruciating, nagging pains running from cheek bone to cheek bone right up to my temples, and even to the back of my head. My nerves suffered acutely, and after an attack which sometimes lasted for six weeks, I was utterly prostrated and unable to take the slightest interest in anything or anybody. I used to take brandy to dull the pain, and was so enabled to snatch about two hours' sleep each night, then I would wake up with a fearful headache and jumping neuralgic pains. I tried a great many patent remedies for neuralgia, but they proven powerless. My life was a perfect misery. I was always weak, tired, depressed, and listless, obtained but little sleep,and but little nourishment from my food. The least draught or current of wind would bring on a most acute attack. One day my sister, who is a nurse, said to me: “If you will take Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people I know you will be cured; my professional experience has shown me the great value of this medicine; and I cannot recommend it too highly when I tell you it will absolutely cure you.” Taking her advice I obtained some. In three days I was able to discontinue the use of spirits and to sleep soundly right through the night. My strength gradually returned, and in a very short time my neuralgia was cured by the faithful use of Dr. Williams’ pink pills. The Committee of a fashionable Ball has asked me to give an exhibition of fancy dancing. This I am only too happy to undertake. I intend when opportunity offers to engage in a professional career. “Where your ability as a danseuse will undoubtedly receive full recognition.” I added as I retired. WhyDr. Williams’ pink pills prove so effectual in curing neuralgia is because they are especially adapted for the cure of all disorders of blood and nerves. Other nervous disorders which they cure include fits, paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance in childhood or old age, nervous dyspepsia, early deeay of the faculties and functions in middle life, ete. They also cure anaemia, chronic headaches,, chlorosis, insomnia, liver and kidney troubles, fevers, measles, skin troubles, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z., three shillings per box; six boxes, sixteen and sixpence (post free).
