LADYSMITH “JUSTICE.”

ENGLISHMAN'S GRAVE STORY. u “ Recent events in South Africa, the glamour of War, and the distance tempt us to forget that our countrymen who, happily, are not always fighting, have much the same troubles as we at home. Englishmen are Englishmen the world over: tellers of the truth and haters of injustice beyond some other nations that might be named, and these national characteristics lend weight to a story that came from Natal just befo’-e the war. Mr. W. A. C. Bester is a Justice of the Peace for Ladysmith, and he told of some grave experiences: —

“ For a long time,” said he, when interviewed, “I suffered from very poor health. I always felt tired, was afflicted with swollen and very painful legs, which made it difficult for me to walk, and also with severe bilious headaches. Often I felt so bad that I had to leave my work and go to the house to lie down; and I think that others not so active as myself, would have given in altogether and taken to bed. Very often when I walked I became so giddy that I felt like falling; in fact, I did fall twice. On one occasion, I remember, in particular, I had gone out early in the morning to kill an ox, and I felt so bad afterwards that I fell down, and my KAFFIRS HAD TO ASSIST me to the house. Indigestion also caused me a great deal of suffering-. ‘‘Needless to say, I consulted the doctor and took the medicine he prescribed, but with no good effect. Afterwards, having read in the newspapers of the cures effected by Dr. Williams’ piuk pills, I tried them, and although the first box did me only a little good, after using three boxes I improved. For some time I went on with Dr. Williams’ pink pills, and they completely and permanently cured me of the indigestion and torpid liver which occasioned the troubles. For the last two years I have not felt a touch of my old complaints. My son-in-law was afflicted with neuralgia, and, acting on my advice, he used Dr. Williams’ pink pills' for pale people, which were recommended as a nerve tonic. He used lo suffer terrible pain from neuralgia in the head; HE WAS TORTURED so that he could neither eat nor sleep, and felt thoroughly miserable. The pills did him an immense amount of good, and when I saw him last he could eat, work, a.nd sleep admirably. He was a man again, and a strong one. What is my opinion of Dr. Williams’ pink pills’ Well, I have no hesitation in saying that I am convinced, providing- they are properly used, they are certain to prove most beneficial in cases like mine.”
