“I have had rather a strange career,” said he. “1 am an American, and in my early youth I served in th* Indian ■ campaign, berttg severely wounded and invalided. 1 had to earn my .living, and being especially fond of music I took to my favourite instrument, the banjo. But the aftereffects of the exposure and the wound I had received remained" with me, and at times interfered with my playing. Fifteen years ago I came to Australia, hoping vainly that change of air would improve me. Doctors told me my blood was out of order, but prescriptions proved useless. Kidney troubles caused me great pain, and liver complications rendered it impossible for me to apply myself to my profession, and at times I had io break engagements. My old wound pained me greatly, and I had to take to bed. After being laid up for some vteeks my attention was directed to tlie good effects' following Dr. Williams’ pink'pills, aiid'l tried them. The first two boxes did not appear to benefit, me much; but with the fourth box the improvement became noticeable; after using a few more boxes I grew quite well and strong. The liver and kidney troubles have gone, and I suffer no pain from my ofd wound.”., Mr. Manyers* blood was so vitiated that serious disorders were induced, but Dr. Williams' pink pills, by en-
