FAULTY VERANDAHS.
A CHILD INJURED. An illustration of the danger of high verandahs, in which the railings are far apart, is afforded by an accident to a sou of Mr. VV. !•’. Ford, who resides in Princes-street, Brisbane. Queensland. His youngest son Hugh, when playing on the verandah, fell through the railings—a distance of seven feet. A doctor was called in. and he said that unless tbe boy was taken to the seaside little hofie coqld be held out. Mr. Ford was ill himself at the time, and the sea did not agree with him. so the instructions could not lie carried out.
Little Hugh wasted to a skeleton, his food gave him no strength, ami his recovery was despaired of. At this stage Mr. Ford began to give him Dr. Williams’ pink pills, the dose being one-third of a pijf after .each. meal. A few days later flic - boy seemed brighter, and after taking one box he became quite strong and well. His appetite returned, and lie was once more full of tricks ' and laughter. Three years have elapsed since then, and as his boy continues in excellent health Mr. Ford can testify to tbe permanency of the cure". Since then both Mr. and Mrs. Ford have ns?d Dr. Williams’ pink pills with the greatest benefit.
