A NURSERYMAN’S CONFLICT.

Mr John J. Head, aged seventy, a nurseryman of Bayne-st., Terang (Vic.), has given a reporter particulars of some peculiar disabilities he has had to battle against. “For thirty-four years,” said he, “I have resided in this town, and most of the citizens can corroborate the facts I am about to tell you. Whilst gardening one wet day, about nine, years ago, I caught a severe chill. I took little notice of it thinking it would pass away, but I got worse instead of better. I lost nearly all power in my arms and could not raise them above my head. At times I was unable to dress myself and felt utterly helpless. My clothes had to be made very large so that they could be slipped on easily. If I sat down on a couch I required assistance to leave it. The muscles in my back and limbs seemed to have shrunk, for each movement pained me. I had to have a large stuffed pad made for my knees, and in this way I could do a little work —potting and such like. Medical treatment benefited me somewhat, but as time went on a cure seemed out of the question. One day, about two years ago, an acquaintance whose wife had been cured by Dr. Williams’

pink pills advised me to try them. I did so. A week after beginning to take them 1 felt better and a« 1 continued with the treatment my improvement was very noticeable. Before long- I was able to move freely about and my work once more became a real pleasure. Ten boxes change.! me from a cripple tp a strong healthv man as supple and active as most men many years my junior. Dr. Williams* pink pills always have a* firm friend in me.” Mr Head's severe illness, and incapacity to work was caused in the first place by a chill. Dr. Williams’ pink pills not only curt! the effects of chills, but they enrich the blood and tone up the nerves so as to enable the system to withstand t lit' cold and wet of winter. They have cured thousands of eases oi’ rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, bronchitis, coughs and colds, effects of influenza and fevers, St. Vitus* dance, skin diseases, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers and by the Dr. Wil-
