A CONTRACTOR’S DIFFICULTY.
Mr. David Smith, the well-known contractor, of London-street, Dannevirke (N.Z.), has, in an interview* with the press, given particulars of a grave difficulty which some time ago greatly hampered his operations. “Apart from trade duties,” said Mr Smith, “the exposure and hard work inseparable from a contractor’s calling invariably tell upon one. Since I
left the old country 24 years ago I have gone through plenty of manual labour and exposure. Until July last my health was always splendid. I was then attacked with sciatica. My feet became very cold, my joints numb, and terrible shooting pains came in my hips, calves and ankles. I could not rest with the agony, and I was placed in a difficulty inasmuch as I had to give up work. I eould just walk about with the aid of a stick. Embrocations did not relieve me, and I was urged to try Dr. Williams’ pink pills. I did so; two days after commencing them the pains lessened and I felt better. After finishing the first box I could walk without the aid of a stick, and resumed work. Three boxes restored me to perfect health. I have not had the slightest twinge or ache for nearly a year, so my cure is permanent.” The last remark is very characteristic of the result obtained by Dr. Williams’ pink pills; they do not produce a temporary result like ordinary medicine, which acts merely on the symptoms and effects of disease. Dr. Williams’ pink pills remove the cause of disease, and thus give permanent cures in many different disorders. Amongst the ailments they have cured are chronic insomnia, neuralgia, dyspepsia, anaemia, effects of influenza, heart palpitation, consumption, general debility and all skin and blood disorders. Dr. Williams’ pink pills are 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’.
