A SICKLY WINTER.

MEDICAL OFFICERS’ REPORTS. The official reports of the Medical Officers of Health do not indicate a particularly healthy outlook for the time of year; but there is no cause for panic. Measures of precaution niay ward off a good deal of da.nger, especially the simple plan of attending to the blood. Weak, thin blood fails to carry off nourishment from the food taken, and (as the official reports show) lays o[m?u the system to disease in general, and the Bubonic Plague in particular. In this connection appears an interesting news item iu the “Leichhardt Standard,” whose reporten became interested in the case of a Mr Thomas McCann, of 12, Cambridge-sL, Sydney, N.S.W., who had recovered in a really surprising manner from prolonged ill-health. Mr McCann had been in a dangerous state. His blood had become weak and thin through neglecting a cold, he sank into a low, feverish state, and contracted bronchitis. He dozed heavily at day time, but could not sleep at night; his appetite deserted him, there was a troublesome tickling in the throat, hacking cough, and shortness of breath. His physician declared that unless he could regain strength he would never recover. “People told me I looked like a dead man," he said. “A friend showed me a testimonial proving that Dr. Williams’ pink pills had cured a case worse than mine. I commenced thenq and even the first dose proved soothing. Two or three boxes improved roe wonderfully, and when I had used the contents of six I was cured. They ha<£ enriched my blood, freed me froni bronchitis and made me stronger and more cheerful than I had been before my illness. I have a first-class appetite now and do not fear the winter. Now is the time to guard against the coming winter by strengthening the system and enriching the blood with Dr. Williams’ pink pills. They have cured 27,000 cases of consumption, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatic gout, cough and colds, anemia, debility, 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 y<n ask for Dr. Williams’. They arc the best tonic procurable.
