TREKKING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Few of our hardy waggoners (says a Canterbury paper) have, to use an appropriate Boer word, "'trekked under greater ditnculties than Mr Robert Clucas. This soon became evident in the course of a chat which our representative had with him, “Often I have had to go about in my wet clothes all day long, said Mr

Clucas. "Night after night 1 have lain in damp blankets, exposed to frosts and rain, with result that many years ago rheumatism aml sciatica laid hold of me. My legs, arms and shoul-

ders ached with rheumatism, whilst sharp, shooting pains in my thighs were due to sciatica, so 1 was told. "You must have been almost a cripple,” remarked the interviewer. “Indeed I was," said Mr Clucas. “For over six mouths I could not walk outside the house without a crutch and stick. Even a door mat formed an impassable barrier. Through the continual pain I have gone for over a week without sleep. I lost all taste for food, and grew so thiu and emaciated as to be hardly recognisable. I had good medical treatment and every attention at home, and when these means failed I tried patent medicines, but they also proved useless.” “But what is the secret of your activity now?” “Well, I make no secret of it." said the now stalwart waggoner. “I noticed some time ago how truthful the testimonials concerning Dr. Williams’ pink pills seemed to be, so 1 sent for a box, and after using its contents felt better. Another supply was bought for me, and as I continued taking these pills the pains of sciatica and the aches of rheumatism begun to abate: later on every trace of these diseases left me, and I nowhave the full use of all my limits and faculties, A day’s hard work has no effect on me now. Since my recovery several friends have taken Dr. Williams’ pink pills on my advice, and they have all been benefited.” The experience of Mr Clucas, who resides in Oxford, Canterbury, shows that Dr. Williams' pink pills are both a blood-builder and nerve-tonic, for they cured him of rheumatism (caused by impure blood) and of sciatica (blood disorder). For the same reasons they cure neuralgia, lumbago, St. Vitus’ dance, hysteria, ricKets, scrofula, bronchitis, consumption, dysentery, skin diseases, etc. From chemists and storekeepers, and the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box. six boxes sixteen and six, post free. Nervous sufferers without energy and ambition, and ladies afflicted with irregular health, will find that these pills increase the blood supply, restore the wasted tissues and bring about complete health and happiness.
