A CYCLIST UNNERVED.
ACCIDENT WHILST TRAINING. At the pretty township of Marton, in the Rangitikei district, which is noted for its fine country and level roads, resides Mr J. G. Slight, a wellknown cycling enthusiast. “Some fourteen months ago,” said Mr Slight, to our reporter, “whilst training on the track. 1 had the misfortune to hurt myself internally, an accident which completely unnerved me. The least excitement or noise depressed and exhausted me. and 1 was too weak to ride. I had to retire from the track. 1 could not even walk or ride a horse without experiencing a sickening sensation in my stomach, and a pain in my side. Several doctors prescribed medicine and liniments, but 1 obtained little relief. One day I read of an athlete who had been cured by Dr. Williams’ pink pills, and whose case was worse than mine. I bought a box and felt greatly improved after taking its contents. Three boxes completely cured me. I now ride my machine as well as formerly, and have no fear of breaking down when training.” Amongst the nervous disorders which Dr. Williams’ pink pills have cured are St. Vitus’ dance, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, hysteria, neuralgia, nervous headache, sciatica, etc.; but it is only the genuine pills with the full name in red ink on the pink outside wrapper that effect a cure. They may be had. post free, from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company. Wellington. three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, and from chemists and storekeepers—but mind you ask for Dr. Williams'.
