LETTER FROM KRUGER.

MR W. F. REGAN, F.R.G.S., INTERVIEWED. , Mr W. F. Regan, F.R.G.S., the author of “Boer and Uitlander,” has for many years been closely connected with Transvaal business affairs, and possesses large mining interests there. Interviewed by the “London Daily Telegraph” at his offices, 41 Thread-needle-street, London, Mr Regan declared that before the war broke out mining operations were in a most prosperous state. I “You have been in correspondence direct with Kruger, have you not?” was asked. “Yes,” said Mr Regan, “I have, and I remember particularly one letter of kindly encouragement he sent- me. I am a hard worker, and during the South African mining boom in ’95, I worked for nineteen hours out of

twentv-four each day. In 9b the strain" began to tell and symptoms of ■weakness and debility appeared. At last I could not walk straight, and sometimes had to catch of a railing or turn into the nearest office for a few minutes. At JO o'clock in the morning I have been forced to hail a hansom in Cheapside, not being able to control my limbs, though my home was only 100 yards away. Throughout ’96 my illness continued, and though I never missed a day from business, fainting fits were frequent. Whilst in this condition I received in one day letters from the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, from President Kruger, and from His Majesty the King of Portugal. All three were letters of encouragement, but the day after that I took a relapse and my mind became a blank. The locomotor ataxia had attacked my brains. I consulted four noted doctors without being cured, and I tried almost every medicine sold. A city friend one day brought in a dozen boxes of Dr. Williams’ pink pills and made me take a dose, and he came in the following day to see if I was taking them. After taking several boxes I was surprised to find myself considerably better, my brain clearer, and my limbs perfectly under control. Now the locomotor ataxia has left me altogether, and I work from eight in the morning until eight at- night without ill effect. I am as strong as ever, and sleep soundly the moment I lay my head on the pillow. As a cure for locomotor ataxia and debility Dr. Williams’ pink pills cannot be equalled.” Mr Regan’s opinion is shared by eminent men and women in ail parts of the world, as our testimonials show. Dr. Williams’ pink pills cure locomotor ataxia by their tonic action on the blood and nerves. Thus they cure rheumatism, neuralgia, anaemia, consumption, bronchitis, all skin and blood troubles, St. Vitus’ dance, paralysis, vital losses, ladies’ ailments, etc. Sold by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free, and by chemists and storekeepers. —But mind you ask for Dr. Williams’. Applicants will lie supplied free of charge with a copy of Mr Regan’s interview. . ■
